Background layer

[paulg59282233]

Hope someone can help me with this. Googled and searched as much  as I can but have found a tutorial or answer to what I think should be a simple issue. I would describe myself as mid range in my understanding of the product so by no means an expert.

Here's the issue:

I'm working a composite image. I've made a decent selection and now ready to place into a new background.  The problem is the background image was taken way to close to the camera and for my purposes I would like to retain the same degree of sharpness of the background but I would like it to appear farther away  from the camera.  I could reduce the size of the foreground object relative to the background but the elements of the background still appear way to large relative to the foreground content. I've  tried perspective warp but based on the tutorials I've tried, and perhaps I'm missing something, but this tool has not done the job for me. Any tutorials or suggestions from would be very, very much appreciated...

btw I'm using photoshop cc 2017

In composites it is important that the original images are on same perspective. Now, if you have photographed front element too close, it may be impossible to get it work with the new background naturally. It depends of the object of course how much it is disturbing. I think you may have to take another shot of the foreground object.

Thanks for that.  Actually the background is a stock image.  I like the image for the project, it really works well.  That said, it does not work with it's current perspective....
