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.
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...
You need to distort the label with the Envelope tool (hidden under Drop Shadow on the Tool bar) and then apply the shadows as above.
