I need your expert advice. My goal is to use pattern overlay correctly on a seat image. I googled for several options and I tried a couple tutorials. So far, the Filter | Distort | Displace seems likely the answer. However, is there a better way to wrap the pattern over the seat seamlessly that it looks like the original fabric?

I started with this original image. It's poor quality and low res.


With this pattern, i re-sized it smaller to almost the actual size ,

I used Content Aware to create a pattern layer that can cover the seat, which is this

After which, I created a Displacement Map with the first image (original image). Then I used the Filter | Distort | Displace; using the standard values of 10 for both.

Here's the screenshot of it.



This is my final output, I just added a Blending Mode of Multiply like 45%
Please Open image in new tab and zoom for 100% as it's a huge image.

Do you guys have a better suggestion on how do to this properly? The goal is to make it unnoticeable that it’s photoshopped.

Thank you!

A couple of suggestions:


First use a mesh-based distortion like Puppet Warp, Liquify. Though if you have access to Illustrator, I think its Envelope Distort > Make with Mesh may be the best way to wrap a texture easily.
Separate each item to its own layer. You'll avoid a lot of unnecessary stretching that way.
Use Displace at the very end to sell the creases, not make major distortions. You'll want to create a real displacement map instead of using the original image. For a quick and dirty version, use Stylize > Emboss, then blur the result.
