I'm looking for an action of filter for Photoshop that will take a flat image and make it look like a portrait background. What I mean is that I want it to sort of roll the background, similar to how paper would hang from a background stand onto the floor.

Any know of such an action or filter?

You mean like a really abbreviated page curl effect?

Something of the sort.

I want to use a texture as a background for a full length portrait, so I need the background to reach the "floor" and come toward the front of the photo. But, I want a gradual "roll" instead of a hard floor line.

Buy a roll of butcher's paper and hang it over a closet door to achieve the roll effect at the floor. Apply a texture to the paper afterwards in Photoshop.

Hey, I like that idea :)

That won 't scale the texture realistically though...

I have never encountered such a filter, Leroy, but I'm sure it is out there. I tried messing with lens correction in CS2 but that was all symmetrical, no good.

I tried this with the Warp transform, but comes out as very flat to me.

Edit, perhaps I could shoot the paper and add it as a softlight layer to add some depth to it.

Maybe a gradient?
