advanced photoshop question

[digitalmedia]

does anyone know how to wrap a image over an object
example I produced a billboard for a local raido station which had 3 people on it which had different cd covers imposed on their bodys
like it was a full body tatoo of the CD cover... does any body know how they could have wraped the image around there bodys and made it look like it was a real tatoo??? becaused it still had highlights and shadows of the persons body but instead of skin they had the image ???

Do a web search, and read up on displacement mapping.

Displacement is the way to go. MsOz's suggestion is good advice.

To get you started here's two links from using photoshop+displacement+map in the search field of google.

and

If you get stuck, post what you've come up with. It is easier to give advice if you see what's going on.
