A latte mug is going to be difficult, small base, steep angle etc..

FWIW I think pre-bending the image with ImageMagick is a good way. Command line but not complicated. A couple of trials to get the angle to match my template.

Code:

convert straight.jpg  -virtual-pixel White -distort Arc 50  arc.png

Then scale in Gimp to get a fit. Depending on the original image crop to size.

something like this: https://i.imgur.com/pLzh5eh.jpg

Hi rich2005

I have failed to fully appreciate the power of Image Magic, thank you so much for your post I have been searching for days for a simple neat answer. Will play about with the other parameters but looks like you have given me  the solution.
