Hi!

I want to take a 2d flat image, and angle it slightly, perhaps with some kind of frame…. but the core thing I want to do is maneuver it more in a 3d fashion. Just think of a DVD case photo standing upright at a slight angle. I want to map a photo to look perspectively proportional over it and tweak as necessary I hope to find some tutorial or plug-in (free ware or shareware is great) to get me started to achieve this effect. I am working with Photoshop 7.0. Thank you for any ideas or pointers. 🙂 Best wishes, Rebecca

The transform tool provides one way do this. Add the image as a layer, type ctrl-A and ctrl-T Hold down ctrl, and line up the corners. Add a drop shadow and/or surface reflection for good measure and you’re golden —
