selection (or around the whole layer if there is no selection), with a handle on each of the four corners. By moving these handles
by click-and-drag, you can modify the perspective. At the same time, a ‘Transformation informations’ pop up, which lets you
valid the transformation. At the center of the element, a point lets you move the element by click-and-drag.
