I am working on an image of Elvis and using layers and blending techniques to put the music to one of his songs over his face. But I want the musical overlay to mold to the cuuves of his face. Is there a way to do this? The blend mode I'm currently using is Multiply. I have tried other layer modes but it still does not give me the effect that I'm looking for.

Any one got any tips for how to achive this?

Mind if I see the .xcf file?

Is this the magic you're looking for?



I went with filters -> map -> displace on the text layer, with Elvis as the displacement layer.

I hope that's not what he was looking for. It doesn't look all that appealing. Maybe its the pic and the text? Eh...

It's kind of what i was looking for but i want it to mold more around his face. I would also set the opacity down a bit so it wasn't so dark and intrusive.

Here is the bare bones of the image file just the images I'm blending.

Filter/Map/Map object and map you text to a cylinder that closely approximated Elvis' forehead. For other body parts you can also map to a sphere

thanks ofnuts I'll try that out,

the map object works quite well, The more i play with it the better I'll get thanks ofnuts. I don't seem to be able to upload pics I only have the browse option for attachments. Tried both firefox and IE.

You shouldn't use attachments. Use photobucket, tinypic or ImageShack. If you don't want to make an account on photobucket or ImageShack, just use tinypic from the start

Attachments are pretty unusable on this forum (500K cap all all you attachments...). I put the pictures on imgur.com.
