: Making a curve for border I was wondering, if you could help me with something in Photoshop. I want to bend an image, as it will be used for a border on the site, however I cannot find

@Kristi927

I can't comment yet, however Ryan's answer will work. The problem you are running into is you are working on a small version of your original border. If you increased the size of the border's resolution you are attempting to bend, Ryan's solution will work. This way you have more control of the pixels and your not letting Photoshop calculate them for you.

Here is a way to do something similar, unfortunately this way will not simply take what you have and curve it, but merely tile and mask what you have, which may still work for you, but is generally best for flat patterns.

I would make your image a pattern Edit -> Define Pattern and then after you create an object you can go to that layer's Layer Style and add a stroke and then change that stroke to use that pattern (NOTE: You can move the pattern around using the move tool while the dialog window is open):



Then check Layer Mask Hides Effect under the Blending Options



Now create a layer mask on your object and simply get ride of everything except the corner and turn the fill to 0.

There's a few ways to do this, the easiest way if you're in a newer (I believe it was first introduced in CS 5) is with the Puppet Tool.


Select the layer with the shape to bend
Go to Edit > Puppet Warp
Pin on one end, pin on the middle, pin on the other end.
Move one of the end pins


For greater control put more pins around the middle to smooth it out.
