Obviously I don't know what I am doing. Follow me please. I have a photo of a painting taken on an angle so the painting is a trapezoid. Can you give a step by step of how you would select that trapezoid shape in Photoshop 2018? Appreciate your patience.

Use the Polygonal Lasso tool:

Click on the corners of the painting in order, either clockwise or counterclockwise, and click back on the starting point. You will see the cursor chang to having a little circle by it. Click, and you will have your trapezoidal selection.

Choose the Perspective Crop Tool (it is nested with the Crop Tool). Click on the first corner. Drag the cursor and click on 3 more corners. Then float the cursor over the first mark you made and rest for a moment. The word Crop will appear. Click on it.
