Creating art for Distortion Printing

I don't know anything about distortion printing so disregard this comment if it doesn't fit.
In Photoshop create your image the actual size with image/image size. Then go to the layers pallet and drag the image down to New Layer icon to create a 'background copy'.
Select the background copy and 'Select All'. Delete the contents.
Select the top layer and then do -Edit/Transform/Warp.
If you click any corner or node you will be able to pull it around. Enter to fix it. You can do this several times until it is all cock-eyed to your liking.
Select the Layer tab and then Flatten Image.
Hope this is of some use to you. Bruce.

You can also select part of the image with a selection tool (such as the polygonal lasso tool) and then edit/transform/warp but do this carefully or you'll tear away from the bulk of the image.

thank you for your reply. This I can try! Usually when there are replies it make my brain work more! thanks again.
