Any Photoshop pro out here?

I have a problem. I have scannned in a piece of material in photoshop. I have

also done an

illustration in illustrator and brought it into Photoshop but i want to fill it

with the priece of

material so it will look like that the shoe is made of that material. How do i

go about it? Is it

something like mask off teh area outside teh shoe and something? I'd like to knw

the easy

and real way. Not the 'use lasso tool and go round the shoe an ddelete every

little bit of

material etc etc'. thank you. Please guide me. I really appreciate your help.

thanks.

you have for example an image of a piece of material,

and you have a scanned image of a shoe of sorts,

and you want the shoe to look as it would be made of that material,

if the shoe is divided into sections of outlines, you could try saving image of material as a textured grayscale psd,

select the section of area to be filled and use filter render texture, and color later, but it would be flat, which reminds me that if image is three sided, may want to edit each side of pattern with transform,distort and spherize,

if shoe is one piece, could duplicate layer and pattern layer,

inverse select shoe outline, and switch layer to pattern still with selection tool on, and delete outer area, or reverse selection and copy pattern in shape of shoe, and paste over shoe in another new layer,
