Many thanks to Hunter Elloitt and Character for bearing with me. As
you've already guessed, I use Corel Draw about once a year, then only
to align several bitmap files so they can be printed on one page.
About 90% of my time is spent in Photoshop so that's where my graphic
knowledge lies.

Yes, you both guessed it - Corel Trace is what I need. Had never
opened the program but tried today to import a Photoshop .psd file
with no luck. Wouldn't even appear on my screen. Just as well because
it would have taken me ages to figure out what to do with it.

Instead I took the coward's way out. Printed the .psd file, manually
arched it, scanned it again and it's now the way I want it. Far from
perfect but good enough for what it's intended for.

Thank you Lola for the suggestion of Photopaint's Distort but couldn't
banish the straight lines.

11 is two versions old - odds are if you're using a current version of PS
you'd need to flatten it and save it back to say v7... otherwise, saving it
as a TIF would have been a good option.
