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...
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.
If you are trying to curve a bitmap, you can try the Shear effect in Photo-Paint (it might be in Draw also under the distort filters).
Or Mesh Warp, but it's really fiddly to use.
here's shear example:
I'll drink to that...
