Step 1

Download Image 1 from Edline. Unlock the image and change the color mode to RGB. We are going to learn another way to select images. Go to the tools in your left side panel and select the pen tool.

Notice that when you have selected the pen tool the options above your workspace would change, this will happen anytime you change tool. Set the options above to match what you see below:

The previous choices will be useful to create paths (lines) without any fill or without modifying your original image.

Step 2
Once you have set the configuration for the pen tool you are going to draw a path. To draw a path you need to do it point by point until you create a shape as shown in the picture:

Click once to get 1 point.

Then you click in the second point and you Will see that a line will be drawn.

Continue until you have a CLOSED selection as you see below:

As you could see, selections can be made with the pen tool. When you finish press CTRL+Enter. You will see how your line becomes a selection.

Step 3

Step 8
Be sure that the image you just have inserted is selected or blue in the layer panel.

We are going to transform your image to try to make it match the square in the building. Remember that you have to press CTRL+T to transform images, so press CTR+T and resize it to make it as similar as possible to the square. .

You are going to find it impossible to transform it because the square in the building is in perspective. To transform in perspective you only need to press CTRL (and remain pressing it) while you transform your image. Press CTRL as you transform your image and you will see how your pointer will change to a black arrow:

Drag these corners To transform it.

Now pressing control drag the points of the corners of your image to match the square you have in the building, leave a small space in the corners to make it look like this:

WHEN YOU FINISH PRESS ENTER. You are now able to transform objects in perspective.
