Hi all,

I'm having a problem figuring out how to distort some lines of text. I have a 3D-looking image. It's a box where the top surface appears to get smaller as it moves back. I am trying to draw a bounding box on the top surface, and then distort the bounding box so that my text will appear to have the proper perspective. However, I cannot access the distort command under "edit" after I've drawn the box or when there is type in the box. All I can is distort the type. But this won't allow me to properly match the perspective. I need to somehow distort the bounding box (independently control all four corners) and then have the type size accordingly. Any ideas?

thanks

Jon

1 Type your text
2 Layer > Rasterize > Type
3 CTRL + T to enter free transform
4 Hold down CTRL + ALT + SHIFT and drag one of the top corners of the bounding box left or right to distort the text in perspective. Let go of CTRL + ALT + SHIFT and drag the bounding box when you want to re-size the text
