How to create curved paper smart object

[Major Payne]

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to create something similar in PS. I know how to make a smart object so after I create it I can add my own content, but can't get it to the point of looking like the example. Any suggestions?

You have to have a smart object for each sheet, then you just apply a warp to each page. I would use the old warp and not the new one where you can add extra control lines. Then you just add a curves adjustment layer under each sheet to add the shadow.

Thanks Chuck. The only issue I have is with the Warp tool, as it has been for several versions - I can't 'snap' adjustment points to a grid or a guide. Basically I'm eyeballing how straight it will be instead of PS helping.

Anyways I got it partially there except how do I slightly 'turn' the sheet - am I using Perspective perhaps? Tried 3D and that was a mess likely because I have no idea how to manage the functionality for this type of project.

I'm guessing the person who created the original image started with a 3D mesh imported into PS, that's why it looks so perfect. But I got it pretty close on my first attempt using just PS. My only gripe is the control handles of any middle points cannot be manipulated separately so I'm having trouble making the results more refined - everytime I grab a middle point control handle, it twist the entire mesh.

That's why I said not to use the new warp. Don't select a grid size. Just use the warp as it first comes up
