Step 5
Go to Edit Transform and Distort. Grab the corners of the frame and angle it to look like the image above.
I went to Layer and Layer Style and added the Drop Shadow Effect to the frame.
Open the final image. Erase the background. Since I picked an image with a simple background I was able to use the magic wand to select and delete the background.
I used Transform and Flip Horizontally to get the space ship to face the proper direction.
On the spaceship layer, I went to Layer, Layer style and added the Outer Glow effect. You can do that if you feel that it will enhance your image.
