Is there a filter that will create what looks like a sheet of paper slightly curled?

The distort - pagecurl filter curls the page too much, and has no settings -- I need a page that is only slightly curled.

I tried the map - map object, but that one doens't seem to offer a slight curve.

Thanks --

Thanks Owen, but that (selection) still makes a tight curl. A smaller one, but still a tight one. I'd like a very loose, just barely curled. It may
be that the map object filter would do it if I hone my skill.

Thanks for the reply.

Mmmm, well I have these options, (2.6.4)

Location, orientation, shade, colours and opacity.

Also you can make a selection then apply the page curl which will just work on the selection.

Thanks Owen and Joao -- I've tried the curve bend and the Iwarp -- both would probably
be useful in more skilled hands.

And the tutorial is a good one too -- but I really want a full page that has a slight
curve, like, you know if you were to take a sheet of typing paper, roll it briefly around
a cylinder such as a paper-towel cardboard roll, and then turn it loose -- and now the
entire page would have a slight curl. Not just a corner, but the whole page. I'm
thinking there probably is not such a filter and I may have to do something creative
that I haven't thought of yet!

Thanks so much for the ideas though.

Here's a tutorial on creating a paper curl:

Thank you - this looks much like what I'd like to do -- the photo on bottom right in your collection of nine is just about exactly what I have in mind.

Problem: I don't know how to download and use this. I did download, and I did see the script -- but I don't know how to get it into my Gimp.

I will not be offended if you say that asking for such help is beyond what I should expect. I'm hoping that you can give me simple instructions on how to use the script, but I will understand if that is more help than I should expect.

I do like your script!

Hi Elen,

I have recently written a script that has "curve bend" as its main actor. It
is made to create exactly the look you are describing, but after "slicing" the image in several rectangles - so the final image apppears to be a photo of several printed photos forming a loose mosaic over a background layer.

Please take a look at "photo-mosaic" at www.gimpstuff.org , and check if it
could fit your needs. (You can set it for a 1x1 mosaic after all)
