Hi, I wonder how you make a photo lumby and pressed togheter, like if someone had lumped it togheter and trown it away but someone picked it up and unfolded it again.

Thnx

Sounds like it might be a case for using a Displacement Map. A good tutorial to see if this is something your looking for canbe found here:

humm, im not looking for a way to add graphics upon photos, im looking for a way to make them look crumpled. hmm, but thanks anyway

I would be tempted to scan the picture and print it out, then crumple up the printout and scan the result back in again...
But that's cheating ...

Bigcloud made a good suggestion.
The link shows you how to add a logo to a T-shirt, but that's not what that example is all about. It's about using the displace filter.
I think you missed the whole point

You need to create a bump map for the displace flter and apply it to your photo to create the crumpled effect and you would have discovered that too if you had taken the time to study his link.

BigCloud and Josh are right.

Don't forget we have one of the specialists of the displacement map here on the board: Stroker.

Another cheat is to use Crumple, one of the filters in Alien Skin's Xenoflex collection of filters. Here's a sample...

Thanks for the plug, Erik, but I'm sitting this one out.

It doesn't look like that xenofex filter is distorting the original image to match the crumpling though, it just seems to be tweaking the edges and applying shading to it.

Displace is the way to go. Make a displace map, displace the image, then take the dmap and use it to shade the image once it's been displaced. Takes some learning, but it's worth it in the end, it's a powerful tool.
