Rug Tutorial: Page 3

Once you are happy with your alignment of peices select Layer: Merge Visable. You will now have one background image with your old rug on it.
Now back to the rug we want to make. Prepare the image by cropping it down to just the rug, I often crop off the tassels too - that's a matter of preference. Also, if you want your rug to have a raised look, leaving a dark edge around it can bring it up a bit. I also resize the image to about 200 pixels wide (by selecting Image: Image Size). Choose Select: All and Copy to get the image ready to paste onto the Big Window.
Using the magic wand again, select anywhere in the white background of the Big Window and choose Select: Inverse again. Copy and paste the cropped, resized rug image right on top of the old rug by choosing the Paste Into option. from the Edit menu.. You should now have both rugs in one window with the new rug pasted as a layer and the old one the background. The new rug should only be visible where the old one was selected and will probably be partially obscured - that's OK for now.
Next comes the slightly tricky part. We have to transform the new rug to fit right over the old one exactly. Make sure Layer 1 is selected as in the example above, then choose Edit: Free Transform to rotate the rug and move it over on top of the old one. Once you are in Trandform Mode, set the angle to -26.8, the Height Skew to 36.9 and then push in the sides to match the edges of the rug. Note: these numbers are for the Back View. The front view will be different.
