i'm working in pse6 - i have created a page, and on this page is an open book, and because it's open, the pages are not straight across but they angle - the left side angles down to the spine, the right side of the page angles up to the top of the book -

i'm attempting to insert a page on top of the book following it's lines, but i can' figure out how to angle cut the page i'm inserting so it will fit properly - i tried sending it backwards, and erasing the excess, which usually works for me, but not with this, it's not working.

there has to be some way to cut a straight angle, so this will fit - i'm lost, please help.

if you go to this page, you will see the open book that i'm trying to duplicate - i have the same elements as on the page - i have the same blank book and i'm trying to fit the woodland pages onto it -

Hi Daisybelle,

Welcome to the forum!

What you need to do is use CTRL-T (free transform) or the move tool (both are the same thing). Grab a corner and skew the image as you HOLD down the CTRL key at the same time.

HTH (Hope This Helps)
