Question Bending bitmaps

[bob]

Let's say I have a bitmap of a rectangular label for a cylindrical bottle. I need to bend this bitmap label to look like it's actually on the container. If it were just a straight-ahead view there would be no need but it's not a straight-ahead view. The label image is too complex to transform it into vectors. My tools are mainly CorelX8, I've been using Corel since version 1, and Corel Painter 2023 which is new to me and seems to defy me at every turn,, and this and that.

So, does anyone know of any way possible to bend this bitmap as if it were a vector object in an envelope [Corel talk] using the tools I have?

Corel X24 does it. I beleive they started that feature in corel 17 or 18.
