Author Warping images to shape - CS2

I am trying to warp an image to match a shape. I tried putting the two
images in two different layers, and than warping the top target layer
to match the one below, but there aren't enough control points to
match accurately.
Does anyone know of a way to warp an image to fit inside another
shape?
Or make the warp grid subdivide into more than 9 sections?


-- I am using CS2

Thanks

Hi JH,
Sometimes it just takes a lot of time. If you convert the layer to a
smart object then at least you can have repeated attempts without re-
interpolation. You also might want to look at the liquefy filter as an
alternative to warp.

Good luck,
Ron

You can make selections of the "critical" points and put them on their own
layer, then warp those layers.
Good luck

Not sure I totally follow you, but the shape is fairly complex and
irregular.
I am distorting the bitmap to match an object shape of a 3d object.

You also may wanna have a look at displacement maps tutorials for this.

The shape is important - I am trying to match a 3d model shape.

I don't think this can be done in Photoshop. You might try UV mapping
in POV-Ray. Here's a tutorial:
