I would like to make a text deformation like on a label of the can.
See e.g. the word "TOMATO" on the famous tomato soup:
http://www2.ing.puc.cl/~marenas/warhol/w3.jpg
So I want to put the text on an arc, but vertical lines have to stay
vertical.
In addition, the letters at the borders should be narrower than those
in the middle.
Is it possible to accomplish this with GIMP?
Thanks for any suggestions!

What platform? mathmap on Linux is what I would suggest.
origVal(xy:[asin(x/X)*2*X/pi,y])
(for the current layer wrapped around the half of the can
facing you)

Thank you for that suggestion, it works for compressing the letters at
the edges.

Filters → Map → Map Object → Cylinder. You need a "whole paper strip" for
this to look good though, i.e. the image to map has to be in a shape of
an unfolded label of a can including the hidden part behind the can.
