Warping a layer
All of the text is now on the label, but there's one problem: The bottle looks three-dimensional, while the label looks unrealistically flat on its surface. So your final effect will be to warp the label and its contents to look like they realistically conform to the bottle shape.Earlier in this lesson, you warped the words "Olive Oil" so that the letters appeared wavy. For this exercise, however, you will apply the warp transformation to a layer, rather than to individual letters. To do this, you will group the label and type layers, and then transform the new, grouped layer using the Smart Objects feature. Using Smart Objects allows you to continue to edit both the contents of the layer (the type) and to edit the warp after you apply the transformation.Grouping layers into a Smart Object
Creating the Smart Object is a two-step process. First you have to merge the OLIO text layer and its clipping mask, then you will group all of the label's layers into the Smart Object.
| 1. | Click to select the OLIO layer in the Layers palette, then press Shift and click to also select the olives layer. Then choose Merge Layers from the Layers palette pop-up menu. Photoshop combines them into one layer, olives. | | 2. | Click to select the Blank Label layer in the Layers palette and then press Shift and click on the topmost layer in the stack, PRODUCT OF ITALY. Photoshop selects the two layers and all of the layers in between. Then, choose Group into New Smart Object from the Layers palette pop-up menu.  Photoshop groups the selected layers into one Smart Object layer. The name for this new layer is the name of the top layer of the old stack, PRODUCT OF ITALY. |
Warping with Smart Objects
Now you will warp the Smart Object layer to match the contour of the bottle. To do this, it helps to have your guides visible.
| 1. | Choose View > Show > Guides. Then, zoom in to the label. | | 2. | With the PRODUCT OF ITALY layer selected, choose Edit > Transform > Warp.Photoshop lays a 3-x-3 grid over the layer in the image window, with handles and lines that you can drag to warp the layer as desired.  | Drag four horizontal guides out now to help you as you apply the warp in the following steps. Place one guide at the top of the label, and one guide along the bottom of the label. Then, place two more guides one-quarter inch below each of those guides. |
| | 3. | One at a time, click the center of each horizontal line of the grid and drag the line down one-quarter inch to create the curved label.  | | 4. | When you're done, press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS) to apply the warp transformation. | | 5. | Hide the visible guides by choosing the Hand tool ( ) and pressing Ctrl-; (Windows) or Command-; (Mac OS). Then, double-click the Hand tool to see the whole bottle composition onscreen. Congratulations! You've added and stylized all of the type on the Olio olive oil bottle. If you'd like to experiment further with the capabilities of Smart Objects, go on to the Extra Credit sidebar on page 274. Otherwise, in the real world, you would flatten and save this image file for printing. | | 6. | Choose Layer > Flatten Image. | | 7. | Choose File > Save, and then close the image window. |
EXTRA CREDIT
 You can take full advantage of your Smart Object now by editing the label's content and letting Photoshop automatically update the bottle composition.
| 1. | Double-click the PRODUCT OF ITALY Smart Object thumbnail in the Layers palette. (If you get a Smart Object alert dialog box, just click OK.) Photoshop opens the Smart Object in its own window.  | | 2. | Select the Horizontal type tool ( ), and in the Smart Object image window, change the "16 FL Ounces" text and to 32 fl. ounces. Then click the Commit Any Current Edits button ( ). | | 3. | Click the red Close button, and when prompted, click Yes to save your changes.Photoshop returns to the 09Start.psd image file, and the Smart Object updates are applied to the label. You can repeat this process to make more edits as frequently as you'd like without compromising the quality of the image or the transformation. To edit the warp effect at any time, simply choose Edit > Transform > Warp in the 09Start.psd image file, and you can continue to nondestructively edit the warp transformation. |
