lens correction but gave up :)

# hmmm.. i don't know what that means ;/
i'm sure i should be embarrased about that, but ah well.
the distort tool in photoshop would correct it in one mouse drag.
Please tell me to fuck off, if i'm being really patronising

# Yep a little trick learnt a few years back
drag out a crop selection and on the option bar is a checkbox for Perspective which allows you to adjust the corners of the selection - simples!

# What's more is that you can set the dimensions on the Options bar of the final crop
somewhat like a context aware scale - limitless possibilities especially for scaling images to fit for website design for example.

# The choconade took 20 min
just found the sauce applied a brown layer with a little blending and put the text on the correct sections, the detail is a cropped cookie set to overlay

15 min but looks effective
