Hi, here is a tutorial I have made. No one has the right to copy these under any circumstances. Once posted on here are copywritten by myself, my website and by Vbulletin.com.

:)

Give it a go!

. 1st of all select a picture which you would like to use for photo manipulation, I used my girlfriend, but you can use whoever you want.

2. Next make the canvas a lot bigger than the image and rotate it CCW 90 degrees., I made mine 500x500px.

3. Now you are going to want to make the picture seem like its got some 'life' behind it. We do this by going to FILTER>DISTORT>SHEAR.

your going to want to make it look like this:

your image should look something like this:

4. right now rotate the image; CW 90. Next we are going to make it have a perspective, we do this by pressing CTRL+T then going to Edit>Transform>Perspective.

now move the corner points to how you want your image, mine looks like this:

5. now your probably thinking, how the hell does this look like a photo? it doesn't.. Now we have to add a stroke, you can do this by clicking the (f) button at the bottom of your layers menu.. the choosing stroke, go for about 5px.

Should have something like this:

6. still nothing like a photo? Now we have to click the drop shadow button, this will now make it look like a photo, you can edit this to how you want..

Final result should be something like this: Perfect photo of my baybee!
