I have a little bit of a problem and my inexperience of advanced PP'ing techniques has left me stumped.

I have a picture for an internal advertisement in work

An i need to change the text on the buttons (except the FFWD and REV buttons) with custom text. No putting text on there is not a problem, but getting it to look like it should be there is difficult.

Can anyone offer any tips on how to achieve the desired efect?

Thanks

Chris

Go onto edit - transform, then just change the perspective and warp it into the shape you want. Thats how i would do it :)

Agree with davidbridges, the warp tool takes some getting used to, but it does the job well.
