    When you use the perspective tool, use the back two square equally do one a little than the other side until you get it the way you want.. then do the same with the front two squares as displayed below in steps 2-6. Have fun!

    For PS: Edit > Transform >Perspective

    For PSE it would work the same way... Under the Image > Transform Shape > Perspective then follow steps 2 through 6 above :)

    You are welcome Olga.. I use the distort tool (under the transform tool) a lot for the shadows when they are on their own layer too :)
