Freehand? ------------ Is there a plugin? I can't find anything in the manuals that show how to do what I want: Map text onto a surface (a 3D surface, not a 2D picture), adjust it until it appears straight on the curved surface, than unwrap it for printing. This is physical. Real wine glasses, not pictures. We have to use the printed positive to expose photoresist stencils for etching via carbide blasting on wine glasses. IOW, it must read straight on the product although the surface is curved. I'm not sure anyone is quite understanding this. There are sign programs that can do it after a fashion, but they're hard to find apart from the copyrighted software that comes with vinyl sign-making systems. If there is a way to do it with PS, it doesn't appear in the manuals I have. Sure, it shows how to make lettering appear to bend around a _photo_ or other _rendering_ of a curved surface, but that's 2D, not a real 3D surface.
