Curving of pictures

Hello, Can anyone tell me how to curve a picture of some scanned text ? IE the word REPSOL I am going to cut in vinyl to fit on the front of my motorcycle under the screen. Thanks Nickwad

Hi Nickwad and welcome!

You can use the "Shear" filter (Filter>Distort>Shear) for curving a picture. There are some pretty good tutorials on the web, here's one of them:

Scroll down to near the bottom of that page and you'll see "Pete's Cup" which is a good example.

Hope this is helpful.
