Apply perspective to an item

Applying perspective creates the appearance of objects existing in three dimensions.

  1. Select the item you want to transform.
  2. Choose Image > Transform > Perspective. If you are transforming a shape with the Shape tool selected, choose Image > Transform Shape > Perspective.
    Note: If you select a photo that is a background layer (such as a photo imported from a camera or scanner), you are given the option of turning it into a regular layer so that you can transform it.
  3. Drag a corner handle on the bounding box to apply perspective.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • To commit the transformation, double-click inside the bounding box, click the Commit button , or press Enter.

    • To cancel the transformation, click the Cancel button , or press Esc.
