bend image

How can I bend an image, making it rainbow shaped?

 

[Mary Sauer]

What version Publisher? The autoshapes and line drawings can be curved... You can
ungroup an image and manipulate the separate parts.

How can I bend an image, making it rainbow shaped?

Using a photo manipulation application?
(Does anyone know if Microsoft Digital Image Pro can do this?)

====================================
DIP can skew and distort an image in many
ways and shapes but a simple arc like a rainbow
is not included. There may be a plug-in filter that
can do it but I'm not aware of one.

You could choose an arc at...Add / Shape...then
you could fill it with an image. Only problem is it
will be like a cutout...it won't include the complete
image.

Anything DIP can do, PSP can do better... ;o)

So you've done an in-depth comparison of DIP 10 vs PSP9, then?! PSP is only
feet behind Photoshop. DIP isn't worthy to lick PSP's boots...

Attached is a rainbow made inside Publisher using
AutoShapes...

==================================
OK, but filling an autoshape with a
picture still results in a cutout.

Do you know a way to bend an image
into an arc?

 

[John Inzer]

Publisher has very little flexibility for this kind of
work, it can be done but not well. However if this is the
only application you have... See attached

===================================
Pretty neat, and you are quite creative...but it
still appears to be a cutout.

Do you want the image to fill the whole page? Any single image by itself will look
cut-out. In Corel I can make a photo look the way your test image appeared, distorted
and stretched. It is a normal Paint effect. In Publisher I have to fake it. I can
distort an image and curve it. Why I would want to is another subject.

=======================================
I wouldn't want to do it...that was just the request
of the OP. The sample I posted is a panorama that
is actually bent...and no doubt...a *bent* image would
be distorted.

Cheers.
