I’ve got an idea for a header image for use with my website, but I need some pointers on how to get it done (I’m using Photoshop elements 2.0 in Windows).

I have a 640×400 black/white screenshot (IMG, from an Atari ST, but I can easily convert it to GIF or whatever), and I’d like to make it look like it’s being seen at a sideways angle, and to make it even more "3D" It would be nice to make it have an edge as well, so that it looks like a thicker piece of paper or something.

Is this possible with Photoshop elements 2, and if so, how? (Preferrably explained in a simple way so that even I, as a newbie, can understand).

Since a picture says more than a thousand words I’ve drawn a very rough scetch of my idea (sorry about my drawing skills -it ain’t easy with a mouse). It’s here:

PS: I’m also open for other ideas regarding this -other effects etc. I can add to make it even better.
