!Restored: Align View and Lightworks

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a secret to aligning to a photo, or better yet, how many secrets are there? Pro Rendering exercise works great, as well as all the learning examples, but in my photos and plans, I am not even close!

I would like to know what size the photo can be, both small and large, and if using photoshop to correct the distortion is allowed. Other than László Nagy's Introduction for version 7, I have found nothing addressing what to do when the view is not correct.

I have returned to the site to double check, and triple check measurements, and I have not found any information about how exact I need to be.

Thank you all in advance.

Thank you!

I had given up on align view. I used CS3 to distort the layers, and the client was happy, which is a success.

I think the results are actually better with photoshop, so I can wait to get into all the other solutions.

Thank you all for nursing me thru, and I guess I am no longer a novice!
