Hi All,

First post, long time user of ImageMagick.

Got a question, we have a bunch of jpgs of 3d boxes (only showing two sides) from our art dept. similar to :

.

Our task is to add logo's / art on these jpgs(say in a empty area where the wizard is in the above example ). But since the files are already created we now have to find out what the mapping points for the distort :
As per : http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/distorts/#box3d

My developer is using fireworks and creating rectangle images for original points and distoring for new points. Is there a better tool or approach for doing this?

Thanks,

Michael

Yes, that's the obvious approach. Pick the coordinates of four points on the artwork image (eg the four corners), and of four points on the box image, then "-distort perspective".

I don't know Fireworks, but it's easy with ImageMagick.

Is there a better tool or approach

I would think that is the only way to do it.

I have a tool on the web you can try using php and JavaScript: Distort
