I am attempting to wrap an image around a tilted cylinder using the Curve Bend tool, however, due to perspective this is proving difficult. The main issue is that I cannot see the cylinder in the preview window as it is in a different layer. Is there any way to see all visible layers in the preview window?

best regards, Mathias

  • Likely much better results with Filers>Map>Map object and use map to Cylinder.

Have you tried using the "map object" distortion filter instead? The Curve Bend tool, in my experience, basically changes the image within the image plane rather than adding perspective. If you go to the Filters>Map>Map Object, you can select cylinder as the shape around which to wrap the image.

Here's an image changed with Curve Bend: enter image description here

And here's an image with Map Object (you can deselect the light, if you want):
