Pagecurl

Page Curl? You don't need a plugin to make a page curl in Photoshop. You need the warp tool... and a bit of detail work. Bert walks you thru a 2D and a 3D version in this special viewer request edition!
If you've ever opened a book and noticed the way the page curves out from the center binding, then you know what a page curl looks like.
Do a search on page curl in Google, and you'll find quite a few plugins dedicated to making that effect happen in Photoshop and The GIMP.
In this episode, Photoshop mavin Bert Monroy shows you how easy it is to make a page curl without a special plugin. All it takes is a fresh layer, and the Warp Tool!
He walks thru two versions: one looking head on at the book, and a second 3D version looking at the book from an angle. Cool stuff, and Bert takes the process step by step.

" Hello and welcome to yet another episode pixel perfect beaver on the show where anything happen. Self. Today I'm going to answer some requests. And it's concept of page. One page -- Though most people are asking for a page -- straight on the and a book they -- that page. -- around the -- and use an old trick that I used to do a long time ago to show Carl page and angle. More complex. -- show you that. Right now here we are all. Did I forget something yes I did. I forgot -- paper stuff. Israel here how could -- forget. I gotta pick a good day back on the guy's -- sponsor me for awhile now such great guys who I am actually using now -- I found that the era of the stuff I've been reading. It's true it is a very good reliable service. If you want to make an impact online godaddy.com. Of the guys to see. Dot com names start -- dollars 99. It's pretty -- when you think of some the other services and when I started my dot com name. One dominated nine. Let's get work world class hosting and even get though web -- so much more. And if you entered a code I going to see onscreen at pixel war. When you check out the save an additional 15%. Off any order of 75 dollars and more. Course -- in mind maybe buy a whole bunch of dot com names but anyway. Some restrictions apply in the the usual stuff that okay so much for paperwork. That's get that stuff. -- doing little page -- here. Now but yet this fake book here paintings of Japan. And that approach pages if we're looking straight down this. So why don't on the select. A page right there. And and I said to Elaine and to a new layer. Via -- To it to now we can do to this is to add a little war. Good all war I love this. War. And a war we're gonna gonna grab this handle and just kind of bring it out. In this one out. This thing that made me want to -- this one little bit. And anything that one. These -- we didn't want to crawl along the edge and grabbed his line right here in the middle and chemistry and say. Now again that it'll crawl right at the edge here I click. Return to make it happen and there we see just nice in effect now on top -- want to -- a little. Dimension now he added little highlights and stuff and another. Layer on top of this and with a white. And get my paintbrush Munich and soft -- brush like let's -- this. Is 65. -- over -- hundred. Amateur might pressured out of my pal here make sure that there's nothing turned on a -- and click right up here. And shift click down here which would create that long white streak ran across it which I'm gonna go ahead and clip. With the page and -- screen mode. And reduced capacity. Instances that highlight right there and then another -- there. I think black. And I think the Russian bigger and -- can -- there. Click down here click it with the web page and bring down its capacity and bit. And there we have this nice. Now. Something different to this image is duplicate the whole file here. I have a second. And we're gonna turn off these guys effect. Which just throw them away and select both freedom and humble yet get rid of we're gonna take the book of put -- into the third dimension. And code page. The book is an ozone layer so ongoing here and and transform. I'm gonna use distort. And grab this handle rain down here this guy over to here. And this guy -- I think that. Not a book is in dimension pretty distorted dimension. Now we need to -- pages but in this situation. It's a different. Handle this thing. The what does not quite handle it the way I want it -- going to be is clean here. So -- linked to uses displace. Something that I've used in many episodes to going to bend pixels. So I ended before I'm gonna go in here and select the page."
" And -- what I did that page before you would have to then repeat that. To the other side same thing here is due to one side and then you have to repeat it to the other side effect here to select one page. So I select the one side -- I -- it. Be the same thing select paste and send that to a new layer via -- This thing before and now its in its own layer. Now if you remember. These blaze displaced felt uses the -- values of one image to displaced pixels and other. I've explained before going to do it again in case you can download that episode. We have a neutral density is that gonna have no effect anything lighters and push pixels up and left and Arco pushing down right. So I'm going to do here. -- and create that second it have a second image. And create that second image and doing my channels and going here and select. Created you -- And look at the other channels so I could see where my pages. Now it's black so that's automatically gonna push pixels down to right. So by creating a nice big white swath right through here. Let's get a smaller brush. And about it then that's that's besides it -- tad -- on clicking or shift click down to here. It. Go to require a little bit there and then come back at the -- kind of like a cone -- Massey of the guys there it is. It's not quite as -- there it's a little wider at the bottom because it's closest to us. For now the soft there the transition between these colors to solve the mindful is gonna be an -- to be nice -- someone going there and murder.
