Yeas, You right. But then must be the hole grafic drawn in vectors, otherwise it makes no sense and this is a time cost handwork.

One of my customer came with a collection of Polo-Shirts they made. A bunch of clubs would have a logo on this Polo-Shirts. A preview of them was desired.
The logos I become were vector EPS. I had to shot the product photos and place the logos on it. My first thought was to do it in Photoshop. Then I remember on the DisplacementMap plugin and try it to do with Xara.
It was easyier and faster to do so.

I think everybody here knows how to use Xaras drawing tools to achieve a realistc simmulation of a displacement.
To do all thinks in vector is (sometimes) fun, but I work for money and do this the effectiviest way I can do.

Have a nice day, greets to France
