Couple of questions on using Designer and Photo

[kanihoncho]

A couple of questions about this image. 

Logo on sack made in Designer exported as png. Sack is a photo. Both combined in Photo.

1. Drop shadow - do I need to cut up the image so I just get a shadow near the base? I don't like the shadow on the front, top, and vertical right hand side (back). It's not a very realistic shadow . . . it's pushed a bit to highlight the problem areas.

2. Distorting the logo on the bag (I used perspective). I also used displacement with a live filter but not getting much visually. I would like to bend just the bottom text so that it conforms more to the flat face of the lower bag. I suppose I would have to create it as a separate element  and then distort it . . .

Thanks

Hello

 

1 - Paint the shadow with a soft brush, on a separate layer, it will be more realistic.

2 - I suggest using Liquify Persona for subtle text distorsion directly on the bag (you don't  have to create the text as a separate element). Liquify is often forget for this kind of things.

Here a quick done exemple.

Hope it help.
