You know in PS you can modify an image with perspective?

Is there a way in ill to do the same?

thx[/LIST]

There are features in both that allow you the appearance of perspective but they don't really offer a great deal of precision control.

In Photoshop it's under Edit?>Transform?>Perspective

In illustrator you can do it via Filters?>Distort?>Free Distort

note: It also looks really bad.

Agreed. I'd only use it for comping.

Have you tried KPT Vector Effects?
Filter > KPT Vector Effects > KPT Warp Frame
Only works in Illustrator 9 and below NOT version 10

Its like the Illustrator Free Distort but you have more control and you can zoom in

Spam much schmuck!!, anyhoo, it depends what you want it for Free distort ain't too bad, but with elements such as perspective using a bitmap based solution (photoshop) will generally produce the better results, and remember export your ai out as a psd file to make sure you keep an original!
