Australia shaped pizza - how?

Gobbledegeek · 3 May 2008 at 01:33

Does anyone know how I might get an image of a pizza in the shape of Australia?

Perhaps one of the usual programs has a shaping feature ie mapping, follow path or something.

Just to clarify, I'm not referring to pasting as a mask but instead want it to look like the pizza has been baked in the shape of Australia, crust and all.

if you have photoshop,

a) get image of map of australia
b) get image of a pizza bigger then the size of australia

then using photoshop you merge point b with point a..

I dont know what its called or how to do it but I know that is a way around it...

perhaps more skilled photoshoppers can help..

Yeah, that sounds like selecting two images and pasting as mask. The problem with this is that you don't get the crust around the edge.

Thanks for making the effort though.

Could you use a mask for the filling then 'chop a crust onto it?

Could you not just make a pizza, then take a photograph?

Sounds like the easiest option

That was on my driveway on Friday night.

Thats pretty good! Did you photoshop it, or cook it?

Far to many green peppers on there. more meat required.

My thoughts exactly! Where's the ham and pepperoni?

And reveal my genius!

It was just masking a copy of the pizza with the map shape, used a black and white version of the shape to see the contrast between it and original and used the clone tool to extend any peppers or olives that got cut off by cropping to the map shape, then grabbed the original map shape, expanded it by about 50 pixels or so, filled it with one of the crusts clolours, stuck a bit of noise on to stop it looking flat, used the burn and dodge tool to put some burns and highlights on it, few outer glows for shadows et voila!

Thanks Paul, your efforts are much appreciated.

Cheers for that Paul. I followed your instructions, threw the result into the oven and ended up burning it! Anyway, here's my second attempt...
