laarree, I'm impressed you did that in Illustrator so quickly. How did you do that?

For the piece I need to do, I am only using one image. So it needs to be warped the same as the lines...

I created a black rectangle, cloned and duped several times horizontally, cloned and duped this row of rectangles vertically several times, grouped all those suckers and applied Object/Envelope Distort/Make with Warp.

From Warp Options dialog box, I chose "Bulge"/Horizontal with a bend of c. 20%.

If you want to warp similarly in Photoshop, you can turn your image into smart object, the choose Edit/Transform/Warp, and manipulate the mesh. Your image and the mesh warp will remain editable ad infinitum because you are working with a smart object.
