[SML] Making antique oats box- unroll picture of old box to print?

[sdwheaton]

There was someone at USITT in Cinci a few years back that was selling CD'S with packaging, just print and fold it into a box.   They had lots of vintage stuff.  If somebody saved the booth  map you ought to be able to figure out who it was...StuartSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device-------- Original message --------From: Kate Stack via Stagecraft <stagecraft at theatrical.net> Date: 3/11/2019  11:41 AM  (GMT-05:00) To: Stagecraft Mailing List <stagecraft at theatrical.net> Cc: Kate Stack <k8stack at gmail.com>, Joe Dunfee <joe at dunfee.com> Subject: Re: [SML] Making antique oats box- unroll picture of old box to print? I haven't found a good way to stretch cylindrical labels back into a printable form. What I usually do is grab the imagery from the labels and stretch that as best I can, and then retype all the text in Photoshop (or your preferred paint program). Then I blur/grunge/feather the layers together so they read as one object. If you're lucky, you can find an Ebay seller who's taken a ton of photos, which makes it a lot easier to rebuild. It usually ends up being such a pain that building from near scratch is the solution, though. I've had some luck in the past searching on Google and Flickr for "flattened X box" but a quick search today didn't turn up any oatmeal. I've also been known to purchase the real vintage object and take it apart to scan it. But I'd love it if someone knew a simpler way. -- Kate StackProps MasterShe/hers716.566.0795katestack.com at k8stack
