Putting tapestry on a wall, how?

Is this what you have in mind? I merely added a top tapestry layer over the beige wall and resized it to fit (sort of).

Hi!

What wall do you want to put the tapestry on?

I think the simplist tool to use is the Polygonal Lasso Tool. Make your selection, then if you want to, you can save it by choosing Select>Save Selection, and have it available if you need to redo the changes. With the selection active, Make sure you have a new layer active, and then you can either fill with a new color, or use the Hue/Saturaton Adjustment layer and use your saved selection to create a mask to only have the color where you want it.

If you want to put a tapestry, then I agree with the suggestion above to import it into a new layer, and then use Transform>Distort to change it to the correct perspective.

Here is an example of the bottom part of the counter, using the Polygonal Lasso tool, and then once I had a selection, I clicked on the Hue/Saturation Adustment layer and it automatically created the layer mask in the shape I created.

I hope this answers you question, if not let us know!

I feel like I must be missing something here.  Your attached image is so out of focus, and covered with the two labels, I can't see what you are trying to select.  Have you got a better quality version without the labels?

Problems with the beige color wall

1. Tolerance and Contiguous boxes [when using Magic WAND not hand] -- try Tolerance set to 20; make sure the Contiguous box is checked.
   You'll notice that the ceiling from the wall to the ceiling fixture base will also be selected. No bueno.
2. The wall is not plumb|vertical. Straighten the wall, then use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to selected the beige wall.

Once that problem is handled, you can insert a second image on a new layer and align it.

You can skip those steps and just Transform>Skew or Distort the file containing the tapesty.
