Distoring rasterized images

[DavidRHall]

I have a band logo that has been rasterized already, and need to distort it along a curve (of a banner) as can be done with vector based fonts using the text warping program and arcing it. I have tried liquifying the image, but it messed the logo up too much to make that dramatic of a change. THe distort filters are not doing anything useful, and the transform -> distort/perspective/skew options dont change it in the way I need. I am sure there is a way to do this, as I have seen it done, I just cant find the commands to do it. THanks for the help.

What version of Photoshop are you using?

Moe: It could have been a real ugly situation, but luckily I managed to shoot him in the spine.

logo that has been rasterized already

Why would it ever need to be rasterized? Logos need to remain in as much vector form as possible for multiple uses that you may not think of today. What happens when the band needs a billboard-sized logo? I would recreate the vector elements.

If you are content with the mush of a rasterized logo, check out the 3D transform filter.
