: Automatically warp objects to irregular shape I have a photo of a blank exhibition stand and I wanted to add some content to it to show how it might look. The stand is curved and the photograph

You will want to use smart objects.

First create a square shape that is around the edges of the graphic. Then right click on that shape layer and convert to a smart object.

I then edit -> transform -> warp to shape the square layer we created (It is easier to warp the shape if you first lower the opacity to see where to warp).



Then double click on the smart object layer (I think you will be asked to save when you do this). This will open a new document. Place your graphic in there and save.

This is what my smart object document looks like

for more complex shapes for warping the base shape layer, you will need to use the puppet warp tool. But for simple warps the warp tool works fine.

Depending on the shape you are covering you might want to use the other transform options as well(Skew, distort, etc).
