Photoshop - wallcovering onto room

dmsims · 5 Dec 2013 at 14:37

I have searched - to no avail and after some advice

I would like to superimpose a flat picture of a wallcovering onto a picture of a room

I can get the perspective/scale correct on a blank wall with no objects in the way by creating a grid on the wall and using transform on the wallcovering which is in a separate layer

Now if the picture of the room has objects in front of the wall e.g. sofas, tables etc what is the best method of putting the wallcovering on the wall ?

Well mission accomplished - thank you

"As you are using a mask if you accidentally 'paint' something out that you want, simply 'paint' it back in by swapping from white to black"

that was incredibly useful
