Photoshop CC / 3D - Wrapping a graphic around a cylinder without repeating.

I'm trying to wrap a label around a 3D bottle by inserting the label as a diffuse texture. I am able to position and scale the label proportionately, however instead of wrapping around the bottle once, it's repeating twice. I've tried fooling with the UV Properties with no success. Can anyone tell me how to successfully wrap a graphic around a model once without repeating?

You know a lot more about 3D then I do. You wrote that you were wrapping you label around a cylinder. So that is what I did. I know nothing about how to use extrusions like you do. I have just played a little with Adobe preset meshes like the wine bottle, cylinder and sphere. Its easy to put label on cylinders or wrap the earth around a sphere or put a collage on a Christmas ball. That is what I did and I also created an opacity map.
View screen captures in new tabs ans scale to actual size.

How to wrap an image around a mug in Photoshop CS5?

I have tried many things like transform -> warp or tried to play with 3D but nothing gave me an effect like this image. Does anyone know a good tutorial or would like to explain to me how to wrap an image around a mug and make it look realistic like this?

For Photoshop Elements
Step A
Select the Type Tool, type in your text
.. then look at the top of the
page
You will see an arc with a T over it
Click on that and you will be
able to curve the text
Step B
There are 3 items to consider in order for this project to come out
satisfactorily.
A. The picture of the coffee mug needs to be properly
sized, and enhanced
B. Directions for the text above
C. The picture for application to the mug needs to be
configured so that its curvature conforms. I shall give you directions, but the
values may require adjustment for your particular picture:
Duplicate background layer, and shut off visibility by clicking on its eye
icon
Increase canvas size Image>resize>canvas
size. Uncheck relative. Enter new values for width & height. Try 120% (+/-).
You need more "real estate" for the next steps. The checkerboard pattern denotes
transparency, which you want all around.
Rotate picture. Image>rotate>layer, 90
degrees right
Filter>distort>spherize. Set mode to vertical only. Amount 100%
Filter>distort>shear. Click center of control line, grab this center
handle, and pull just a little to left
Rotate picture back. Image>rotate>layer>90 degrees left
Copy to clipboard, paste on picture of mug. Position and adjust size with
move tool.
Edit: Resolution of picture of mug and of picture to be applied should be about
the same number. You can check this in Image>resize>picture size before you embark on
above.

How do I wrap an image or texture around a cylinder please?

I am working on a project for uni, and am a complete beginner in Illustrator (and Photoshop for that matter). I have CS5, and want to wrap texture or an image (or an image of texture) around a cylinder. Can anyone please tell me how?
Many thanks in advance.

1. Place your image in an Illustrator document
2. Drag it to the symbols panel and give it a name when the option window appears and click OK It does not matter whether you choose Movie or Graphic symbol.
3. Draw a Circle ellipse using the elipse tool
4. Go to Effects>3D. Extrude and bevel
5.turn on Preview the the extrude dialog window
6.Make you adjusts to the depth of the extrude.
7. Click on the Map art button
8. in the map art window select the face of the cylinder you want to map the art to
9. Select the texture symbol you made form the image from the drop symbol menu
10. adjust the position and click Ok.

How do i take a image of a wine glass and wrap a image around it in indesign cs6

How do i take and image of a wine glass and wrap another image around it!

InDesign isn't the correct application for such a manipulation.
If the "image of a wine glass" is a 2-dimensional image, you may be able to create the illusion of something wrapped around it in Photoshop, but there won't be any automatic solutions. Fundamentally, what you're proposing is a function of 3-D modeling.

Photoshop CC - force selection of graphics card when dual graphics cards in use

I have Photoshop CC on Win 8 with 2 graphics cards. The inbuilt and the extra card.
This enables me to utilise 4 monitors in my dev environment.
It is not practical to remove a card as I need all 4 monitors.
I have tested disabling each card (one at a time) and Photoshop finds the GPU and works fine.
Q. Is there a FIX to force Photoshop to select a chosen Graphics Card?
Looking around the web, this seems like a large problem.
Regards,
Chris

As per tech specification of Photoshop CC you must require 512MB of vRAM of graphic driver installed.
Tech Specification Photoshop CC:
http://www.adobe.com/in/products/photoshop/tech-specs.html
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
The Graphics card installed on the machine have only 256MB vRAM.
Hereby, Photshop gives you warning to resolve it.

CS 4 Wrapping a logo around a bottle

I am trying to remember how to wrap a logo around a bottle and can't remember how to do it. It isn't working with warp in photoshop. I have the text rasterized since it was created on a PC and don't have the matching fonts on the Mac. Help please? Thank you.

Several ways but next time you should have them outline the text and not rasterize it.
But since it is done then you can place the logo image under a closed path shaped like a can and Use Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Top Object
But before doing so copy the can shape and you might want to fill the copy which you send to the back and fill it wih a gradient and the set the top object with the distorted log to multiply in the transparency panel
Or use Use Effect>3D>Revolve and then use the Map art Feature
You have to turn your logo into a symbol but
if it has an opaque background you have to
Copy it it and paste in front or paste in back
then select both and make the top one an opacity mask by going to the Transparency and from the flyout choose Opacity Mask Make
and the choose clip and invert to make the background transparent then make the art a symbol
Then map the symbol to your 3D can as such
If you need a tutorial I will do a video later but perhaps someone else can explain it better.

CS5 - Wrap label around a cylinder (like wine label or pop can)

[This is not a Windows-specific question, I hate to exclude Mac users from this answer, but there is no platform-neutral forum here]
In Photoshop CS3 and earlier, taking a layer, such as a label for a wine bottle or jar, wrapping it around a 3D cylinder and compositing it to an image (of the actual jar or bottle) was almost trivially easy.
Unfortunately, with the advanced 3D tools available in CS4+, the simplicity of the Wrap > Cylinder option seems to have been lost.
Wrapping a complex texture around a cylinder (full coverage, top to bottom) is possible, but how about wrapping a label (especially one that has a die-cut ie: not full coverage)?
A couple of quick searches have surprisingly turned up no tutorials on the subject. Has what was once such a simple technique become so technical and obscure?
Can someone point me to a tutorial (written or video), or provide a list of steps here on this forum?
Thanks!

Are you saying the work on Refine Edge which is new in CS5 needs re-re-architecting? ;-)
Heh, I sure am. Not that it isn't on its way. The Refine Edge in CS4 showed us where Photoshop was heading in terms of broadening its selection maniuplation toolset (ah, I remember the days of alpha channels + blur + levels + maximize / minimize). But we saw the (almost) disappearance of Extract Filter. Then its most powerful algorithm reappered in Refine Edge in CS5 and it was a Good Thing. Decontaminate Color alone is worth its weight in gold - that's a nifty little algorithm that saves us all time with the paintbrush manually un-pre-multiplying sub-pixel content.
But it still needs work - notably, it is one of the few tools yet that still feel "outside" the standard application workflow. It's its own dialog box (not a palette) and it's a one-shot, destructive effect. I appreciate that you can output to a separate layer, AND make your settings default. It still feels like it's stuck in a pre Smart Filters era.
Please note that I'm not complaining here, just pointing out that it can still get better, and mask manipulations (from my perspective, and that's only one, as the Photoshop userbase is one of the most diverse out there) are core functionality, whereas 3D is arguably not. Or let me put it this way: lots of apps do 3D, and most of them do it better than PS. But no other apps do selections better than PS and that's a fact. Play to your strengths is all I'm saying.
I'm interested in this combination above. You don't feel the additional 3D features in Ps is a good fit, and yet you're being proactive to address demand from students. What are their specific use cases, if any? Do they resist your guidance to try other shoes if the ones Ps provides don't fit? What points do your students raise for why they want/need to use Ps for 3D instead of developing a tool kit that includes full 3D modeling applications?
You're right, my comment warrants clarification. The demand from students is not for 3D functionality per se. The demand for students is that you teach them the latest and the greatest (regardless of what industry actually expects out of a graduate's skillset), because they saw it on Adobe TV, or they read about it in some product review. I spend 24 hours of class time on colour correction (and that's scratching the surface), but about 5 minutes on Content Aware Fill. And I wouldn't even touch it if it weren't for the inevitable savvy student that pipes up in class when I talk about the Clone Tool and says "but isn't that replaced by Content Aware Fill?". So you have to touch on it.
One of the strange new realities of teaching Photoshop post PS5.5 is telling students "just because it's in the menu doesn't mean you should use it." This was first true with things like magnetic lasso, or art history brush, or the spot healing brush tool (though very specific cases can be made for each of them - I'm aware of that) and the tradition now continues on with Content Aware Fill / Scale, Mini-Bridge (though I'm sure this is just a personal opinion, and a good case can be made for it in your workflow on a very fast computer), and IMO, 3D.
So I don't necessarily see a contradiction. Students who are fairly new to the industry are hungry for the "cool factor" (not to mention the "easy way out"), and it's a constant balancing act designing curriculum that emphasizes best practices, while still covering all the bells and whistles (with the appropriate cautionary tales). If I were still teaching Advanced Photoshop to PS pros and they were clamoring for more 3D, that would be a whole other story. I'll admit that I may be out of the loop there, though, which is why I am still eager to hear from you who you think the target demographic that wants true 3D in Photoshop is.
When I was teaching to pros, they were mostly pro Photographers (think Yuri Dojc) or Architects. I can certainly see the latter being curious about 3D in Photoshop, but those that are technical enough are now all versed in the Autodesk suite, so they would be doing texture generation and compositing in PS at most. Photographers are much less likely to be even remotely interested in 3D within Photoshop, but that's probably not the audience you were building it in for anyway.
Do you feel your advanced experience with SoftImage, 3DS, Maya is helpful to understand Ps's 3D features or does it get in the way? IOW, what benefits and hindrances do you note when trying to apply previous learning to the Ps 3D feature set? Or is it hard to answer at this point because you've been blocked due to crashing and performance issues?
Without a shadow of a doubt, my background was essential to being able to pick this up in PS without the manual. I think I would feel completely lost if I didn't have 10+ years of 3D modeling, texturing and animation behind me (note that I don't consider myself a pro in 3D - just an experienced amateur). Possibly even WITH the manual.
3D is a wonderful world full of really cool technical details that merge the artistic with physics. Photoshop has bitten off only one branch of that, namely shaders, but that is in itself a vast subject. The amount of background knowledge you need to have under your belt is vast - what's the difference between diffuse and ambient colour? what's a specular highlight, and how do you control glossiness? what's a "normal"? hell - what's a "lightsource", and what are their different modes?
I just covered the basics of 3D using repousse and height mapping the other day in a class of twenty-odd 20-30 year olds: I spent 2.5 hours with the students (we had a lot of fun mind you) and didn't even get to texturing at all. Not a single mention of maps, colour or anything. There's too much other material to cover - navigation, object-level vs mesh-level manipulations (ask me my opinion on the usability of your implementation of that feature some time, you'll have another page to read!), then TSR, then lightsources, camera views, ground planes, raytracing, merge 3D layers (you'll have to explain the logic behind having separate 3D "scenes" co-existing within the same document some time).
Bottom line: adding 3D to Photoshop seems like you've put a tiny little door in the bottom of the vast, vast world of Photoimaging. When you open that door and look through you discover that there's this other huge huge world of 3D modeling just on the other side. In order to make ANY use of the 3D features, such as they are now (as opposed to the previous incarnations - including Vanishing Point, which had some very interesting potential) you now have to jump into that world and start to get your bearings.
I think the GPU is causing more headaches then the 4GB RAM, but that's only a quick assessment. Have you had much luck finding newer drivers?
You are almost certainly right. I need to get back to Chris on another thread and let him know that my drivers WERE, in fact, embarassingly out of date. Updating them didn't solve all my problems, but a few have gone away thankfully. I have yet to push the limits of 3D on my personal box again, but will certainly circle back with you if I notice some improvement.
Thanks Steve, always a pleasure talking about this stuff. I am about as passionnate a guy about Photoshop as you'll meet, but because I spend 90% of my time in industry using Photoshop as a production and creative tool (I only teach 1 day a week these days), you'll probably find I'm quite conservative. Heck, much of our agency is still running the full CS3 - there just hasn't been enough compelling reasons to upgrade across the entire organization yet.

Wrapping vector label around a photographed bottle

I've designed a label for a soda bottle and now want to wrap it around a photograph of a bottle. I actually mocked up the label and conducted a photoshoot, but now that I'm looking at it, the colors just don't match (see examples below) - which is why I want to utilize the vector label and slap it over the photograph.
Since I've gone ahead and mocked up the bottle with the printed wrapper adhered to it, I want the positioning of the vector label to match up to the photographed label as closely as possible - because you can't get any better perspective than reality. The bottle was shot as dead on to center as possible, there is only an inkling of a vertical bulge.
This is the screenshot of the entire vector label that was printed and used on the photograph above. The label overlaps itself by only a several militers for gluing.
So how do I go about wrapping this vector around the photographed bottle in order for it to match?
I've already tried freestyling with Transform > Warp in PS - but its painstakingly hit or miss. I thought about mapping the vector label around a 3D cylinder of the same diamter of the photographed bottle and placing it over the bottle in PS. Any other suggestions?
In the future, would taping a grid onto my bottle then photographing and aligning a digital version of the same grid & label be the best workflow? Such as shown in this tutorial
Thanks!

Hi,
In the Layers panel of the 3D layer, you can revel the layer effects (which also has 3D texture maps) by clicking on the triangle at the right. From here, double clicking the name of the texture will open it. Alternatively, you can open the various texture maps inside the 3D panel, by first choosing the material to edit then navigating into the pop-up menus of the properties area.
I see that I actually scaled your artwork beyond the bounds of the cylinder edges to quickly get the artwork centrally placed. It would be better to start with your AI artwork placed into a new document and generate a Cylinder from that layer.
Once you get that created, place it into your image document and using the 3D camera, change the zoom level to affect the perspective (I over zoomed to 300 mm) while at the same time walking the camera back to keep it in frame. Once you have the perspective looking close, use the 3D axis widget with the cylindar mesh selcted, to constrain scale the cylinder to fit your image.
Hopefully this helps. It would be much better to see an animated walk thru but I'm not really setup for that at the moment.
regards,
steve

How can i wrap a tag around content?

how can i wrap a tag around content? for example if i have a block of text, in previous versions of dw i could just select a block of text and click the p tag in the file menu and dw would put opening and closing tags. now in creative cloud version it puts the tags after the block of text. is there a setting to adjust this? thanks

if i have 10 list items is this the easiest way to wrap the li tags around them? before you could simple select the text and highlight it and click the li in the toolbar. thanks murray

Photoshop CS6 only utilize Intel Graphics after NVIDIA upgrade

Hey
After I upgraded the NVIDIA drivers (320.49) on a laptop with a geforce GT540M card,
photoshop now only displays the graphic device built in on the mainboard, the default
intel 3000. (im in preferences>performance>graphics processor settings)
How to get this to work and have PS utilize the proper graphics card?
Please don't reply "contact nvidia" because they say contact adobe. And
PS is the only software having problems after the upgrade, so I consider
this a PS problem.
Windows 8 + Photoshop Cs6 x64

If anyone have the same problem:
I finally figured this out, I had to right click on the PS icon and select
Run with graphics processor>High Performance NVIDIA
And set this as the default card to use. Now it works as it should again, thank god!

Photoshop isn't detecting my Graphics Card

I recently installed a Radeon R7 240 graphics card and am still having problems with CC. Everytime i start it I received the "3d features require a minimum of 512MB of vRAM. Photoshop has detected less than that on your system."
I have 2GB of VRAM. Is there any way to force Photoshop to recognize the new graphics card?

Check Help->System Info to see what your video cards and drivers are reporting to applications.
Most likely you just need to update the drivers from your GPU maker's website.

Tips on wrapping my brain around using compression and expansion

I have audio of an event where unfortunately some people were standing too far form the mic at points so their audio is low. What i am trying to do is wrap my brain around the Dynamics Processor to raise the low bits up to peak at -3db and then if anything peaks, I'd like to lower it to about -3db also. I'd like to keep the dynamic range between only about -8 and -3. Can anyone give me a play by on how to go about using any of the plugins to accomplish this?

You could try the Speech Volume Leveler effect under the Amplitude and Compression menu. Some experimentation may be needed to find the best parameters.
