Can someone advise me on how to go about this

Id like to take a rectangular screenshot image and paste it into a
picture of a laptop screen

The laptop picture looks like this

http://i15.tinypic.com/4ozs11c.jpg

Obviously the laptop picture is skewed and in horizontal perspective

The process I would imagine would be to somehow paste the screenshot
image onto the laptop image then drag the 4 corners out to the corners
of the laptop screen.
The end result will be the screenshot on the laptop's screen
Ive searched google etc but had no joy

Can anyone help

TIA

Doug

Hi Doug,

Paste the screenshot image as a new layer over the laptop image. Use
the Deform tool (renamed the Pick tool in recent versions so Corel
could claim a new feature) to resize, rotate, and change the
perspective of the screenshot layer. Check Help first for the many
keyboard controls that Deform uses for its effects. It may help to
reduce the opacity of the top layer while adjusting it.
