Actually, I meant to select the desired area of your bottle (in Modeler)
that is to receive your image map.  Make sure the area is proportionate to
the label, give it a different surface name than the bottle (like "label")
and save.  Enter Layout, and select the object, go to surface panel and
select the surface named label, and load the lable image map as a planer
image map texture (in the color texture panel).

I may not have expressed it perfectly, but it does slap your lable on the
old bottle.  Ax
