Photoshop question

[Gatorade]

I am wondering if someone could help me with a Photoshop question. Is there a way to crop a picture and then make the crop fit a new shape? In other words if I have a rectangular picture where the top border is smaller than the bottom then can I click the 4 corners and make it a perfect square?

I will attach a couple pics of what I am trying to do.



Crop the above pic at the 4 corners of the card in the pic and then paste them onto a specific size layer that would make it look like this



Thanks for the input!

Charlie, yes there is a way to do what you want. Unfortunately, I can't remember how.


I'll futz about with my copy of PS and see if I can remember.

Press ctrl + a to select your image, then press ctrl + t and use the handles to square it. However that will change the proportions of your footballer.

Edit: Something like this?

Also, you can use the crop tool. Select the Shape with the crop tool. Check perspective in the top tool menu (CS2) and match the corners of the selection with your photo. Click crop and blam!!!

Thanks! Using Transform there is a distort setting. I can then pull the corners to the shape I need.

Thanks for the tips!

You can also use the linear perspective function if you want the photo angled on say the side of a building.
