How to bend picture over sheet of "paper"

[Darek K]

Hi.

For printing purpose first we creating white sheet of "paper".

Next we placing picture on this paper, but smaller size than paper.

In effects tab we adding outer shade.

This way we have little 3D effect.

But ... still this picture is flat rectangle.

How to add little bending/curling to one edge to be more standing out from the paper ?

 

Thank You.

Darek, in Designer this is not possible.  You can add a shadow to sort of give it the effect...  Using Photo there is a Mesh Warp tool that could be used for this.  So it depends on the application being used.

Kind of simulating * such a paper corner by altering the images shape:

1. Convert the image into a picture frame,
2. Convert that frame to curves,
3. Add two additional nodes and move the corner node.
4. Finally adjust the frames stroke smoothly, according to the new corners position.

 

* that way the outer shadow will not follow like real but still sticks close to the frames shape.

Outer paper corner parts could also be made transparent instead (though for real printing that doesn't have such a relevance at all). To the inner bend a gradient flow can be applied, to give the whole bend/curl another coloring shading look of a paper backside.

oops.

1. How to do this in Affinity Photo

2. v_kyr - something like that but little explaanation wha I mean "edge".

We have 4 corners and 4 edges - upper, lower and left, right.

Look at screenshot, I use mesh wrap tool to do this but it is very not satisfying.

It should be like postcard which is little slightly compressed in the middle and placed on a sheet of paper.

Middle part of that postcard is closer to the paper and sides (or only one side) gives more shade.

 

3. THANK YOU and forgive me my poor english to clarify my problem.

Yes seems the OP means such bendings.
