AV Bros. Page Curl 2.0
Page curl/fold effects plugin for Adobe Photoshop

Page 2 of 3

Nothing too staggering yet. But where Page Curl 2.0 really stands out is toward the bottom of the interface, where you're given the options for mapping your object. Note, first of all, the ability to use non-rectangular objects for the page curl, something new in version 2.0. You can also set both the front and back of the object to any graphic you want, whether it be a layer from your current document or an external file tiled or stretched to fit your current object. And not only can you map the back side, but you can also map the front, allowing you essentially to create something akin to an envelope distortion within your source shape.

In addition to curl effects, Page Curl 2.0 also provides a simple fold effect, which, as with the curl effect, can be set to turn upward or downward.



Other niceties in this plugin include the ability to load and save settings, quick reset to last-used and default settings and the ability to export the results to a separate Photoshop file, useful especially for those times when the effect might get clipped by the dimensions of your source image.
