map an image onto a helical ribbon
I dont really know if this is the right place to ask this, so please direct me if thee is a more appropriate forum if you know. I am a novice at photo manipulation. Although I can do most 2d image tuning in adobe camera raw as well as creative photoshop work, (just basic stuff), I am lost in the 3D world.
I want to use a SPECIFIC image that I already have.
I want to narrow the bottom of the image and swirl it so it looks like its 'going down a drain'
I want to make the bottom of the image more transparent so I can see through the twisted, swirled part.
Although you'd think I could do this in photoshop extended, i do not know how
To conceptualize the transformation I'd like to do
1)map my image to a 'ribbon' that is narrower at the bottom than at the top
2) make the image transparent at the bottom of the ribbon
3) twist the bottom of the ribbon
