Help needed please - compositing.

[gbfoto]

Hi All,

I hope someone out there can help as I am pulling my hair out at the moment! I need to overlay/composite some graffiti onto a image of a sheet being sucked into a vacuum cleaner. This will be part of an overall composite (sheet image and composite attached).

I have tried displacement maps and different overlaying methods and nothing comes close. This needs to look as photorealistic as possible as it is part of a my final project for my photography degree. Therefore the graffiti layer in the composite needs to be mapped/overlaid onto the sheet and then that added to the composite.

I am an experienced Photoshop user, just not tried this before.

Any questions or recommendations are most welcome and thanks in advance.

maybe like this

you can use displacementmaps , but first make both shapes thesame
with puppet- warp or transform- warp

Another quick way is playing with fusion

Thanks Argos,

The displacement map example is great but a little flat for what I am looking at for the project so I guess the way for me to go is the Fusion route. I am not familiar with that (as Colleague is). The screenshot that you posted won't open, I get an invalid attachment type?
