Hello! I am in need of some more assistance :) What I'd like to do is kind of hard to explain so I included the picture above.. basically I would like to be able to take a selection and kind of bend it in the middle. First of all, is this possible in Photoshop (since I use it for everything except cooking dinner I would hope so) and second, how might I do this? As always, thanks so much for your help :) -blue

Blue, try the Liquify filter and experiment with it. I use it when i need to distort a logo on a piece of fabric that has folds and shadows, you know, so it doesn't look like someone just pasted it on there. It takes a little practice but you can do some cool stuff... :) retrocity

if that fails you could always try the Pinch method using an irregular selection.....
