[cmckernan93]

for the below image - how do firms take one image and change about the labels for each flvour variant?

is there a specifc way to do this? I see this type of shot alot and wonder how they manage it

I must have photographed hundreds of beer and wine bottles when I worked as a commercial photographer, and absolutely put different labels on the same bottle.  Back then the only way top make it look real was to photograph the different labels on bottles and cut them out with clipping paths, but we have a new tool now, Transform > Warp > Cylinder.

It takes care of the foreshortening as the label wraps around the bottle, but I don't like what it has done to the domed top of the label, and thats as narrow as the adjustments would let me make it.

I had to supply very high res with transparent backgrounds so there was a lot of work with the pen tool making the clipping paths.  It was much quicker just cutting out the labels.  I guess it would depend on the label.  I would do it properly, and see if I could match it with Cylinder warp, and unless it was very close to perfect, I'd go back to photographing the labels on bottles.

BTW  I had fun making my silly label 🙂
