The right side has now assumed the desired look. To do so, place it on the right side ( g_east) and make a few slight adjustments to where it lies on the image’s X and Y axises ( x_-20,y_9).Īs you prefer, get a similar effect by placing the transformation in the top right ( g_north_east) rather than fiddling with the Y-axis settings. You’re now ready to apply the long transformation to the overlay layer ( fl_layer_apply). The first parameter set affects the top left ( 0:0), followed by parameters for the top right ( 20:20), the bottom right ( 20:520), and the bottom left ( 0:500). Rather than tweaking all the sides of the quadrilateral, apply different parameters to each point for the desired effect.

The image is then cropped down to a 20-pixel-wide sliver.Ĭreate a horizontal mirror of the image ( a_hflip) to properly align the right-side portions with the larger image.Īpply a series of distortions ( e_distort:0:0:20:20:20:520:0:500) to stretch the right side so as to create slants for generating the three-dimensional appearance. Reduce the image width to the appropriate size for the the right side, which is 20 pixels ( w_20).Īpply a true crop of the image’s right side by focusing it on the east portion ( c_crop,g_east). Next, transform the right side of the canvas: Follow the steps below to create a canvas. Regardless of your motive, Cloudinary makes the remarkable transformation possible. You are an interior designer or decorator and would like to show what a framed canvas looks like in a room.You work for a picture-framing company and want to showcase a wide range of framing options.

You are an artist and want to display your artwork as if in a gallery.Use cases for this advanced transformation abound. Besides following the steps in the sections below, do watch these video-based instructions, too: In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to apply aesthetic styling to an image with a series of overlays. You can even render any flat image to appear three-dimensional and framed on a canvas.

This post was cowritten with Daniel Mendoza.įamed American poet Henry David Thoreau once said, “This world is but a canvas to our imagination.” And, like your imagination, the transformations you can apply to images with Cloudinary are practically endless.
