    Hello

    I am trying to find an effect i it has to be in distort somewhere, where i can create the oppersite effect f the bulge effect

    It can be done using CC cylinder however this is a long and annoying process and there must be a quicker method

    If i could go in to minus in the bulge effect this would be the answer however you cant go in to minus in the bulge effect

    Here is a example of what i want to do
    From my example you can see a the solid in the middle with this effect and it also has the small symbols tht are curving around to

    Thank you

    with the bulge effect you cant enter a negative value

    I have used the warp effect with the style set t bulge how ever even with the layer collapsed i am still getting some pixelated edges

    Would you know how to fix this with out blurring it ???

    Thanks

    This isn’t really any easier than using CC Cylinder, but I thought you might be interested to see how it works.

    I’ve included a link to an image that you can use with the Effect > Distort > Displacement Map effect on an Adjustment Layer at the top of your layer stack to create a cylindrical distortion. Try using 100 for the horizontal and vertical displacement.
