    Hi try this:

    1. Add a white solid layer as a background

    2. Mask the white on your template so only the blue shows

    3. Add your pigeon layer , flip it and put it in a smart object

    4. Alt click on the layer panel between the pigeon and the template so the pigeon clips to the template layer

    5. Use puppet warp to pull the pigeon into position

    Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me, we really appreciate it.  How does one puppet warp without distorting the head?

    I will definitely give this a try.

    Kind Regards

    ...........How does one puppet warp without distorting the head?

    Puppet warp does distort. The trick is to freeze some pins and move others so that the distortion looks OK.

    I don't think it's done in 5 minutes.

    1. Cut out the pigeon

    2. Transform the pigeon with puppet warp and/or Liquify

    photoshop liquify body shape - YouTube
