Stretching an image?

[ThorsFoundry]

Hi! ANy way anyone know how to stretch a landscape image for a wrap on a latte mug? Everytime I try it on Coreldraw X4 it won't let me because a Jpg is an invalid "object",,, I can do it with text, or vectors, just not pictures.

A latte mug is when laid out, crescent shaped. I'm after software that will take the photo, and stretch it into the confines of the crescent, so that when you wrap it, it looks even and straight. All the landscapes I've tried have come out looking like they're in a valley! Not bad if you've got no horizontal lines, but say a Lake scene - ..


ANy help?
Thanks in advance!

You need to import jpeg. Not open as normal vector file. After that you can strach it easly.

In Corel PhotoPaint use the 'distort mode button' then drag the handles to the required dimensions.

That sorta works.. Wonder if there's an easier way? I tried that, but it warped it pretty weird, then the edges got cropped, so it was all for naught..

Hi there, welcome to the forum btw, please take 5 mins to say Hi in the intro's section.

I should have the template somewhere for latte mugs if that would help?
