I need to put label designs that I create onto photo images of wine bottles and make them shadowed on the edges so they look like the labels are on the bottles...I could use any ideas since I cannot figure it out!
I want to make my label on the left look like the one on the right...
Make a copy of the background paper shape, colour it grey and add a graduated transparency to it, then overlay it on top of the label. Maybe do it twice (or make a more complex transparency) if you need to add two shadows.
I'd do the same thing as Roy, but also put the outside grayscale pieces into Multiply Merge mode using the Transparency Tool.
Yeah - good idea. I do that all the time in PP, but sometimes forget you can do it in Draw as well.
I use transparency often in DRAW, opens up huge worlds of possibilities with Draw's fills and merge modes. I'm mindful of output later (often selectively flattening things before sending for print).
OK, so I got the bottle and a solid label to form to the bottle and I can do transparencies with that, but how do I take my label design and have it form as well so it looks like it is on the bottle - the design is flat...
