Photoshop’s Free Transform tool is completely priceless.
Let me not say priceless, because I have been less than excited 
about the idea of paying twenty bucks a month to have access to it. I’m only slightly less disgusted to think of spending a mere tenner on the new moon for the privilege.
It really has no equal in the image editing arena. Stitching together multiple photos, taken from different angles, becomes almost s
imple. Take these two examples. I was too close to get the whole building in one shot, so I swiveled and got the rest in a second shot. This meant the two had been taken from different angles, something that could be simply repaired by a free transform.
Then the flag gets added as a Color Dodge, with some brush strokes added for perspective and to dirty up the paint a bit.
I’m not completely happy with it, but it was a good morning’s work. I think if I were to spend more time, I would have desaturated the yellow stripe a bit to make it stand out less.
Next time I think I’ll add a cement pump to a reservoir.
