Easiest way to add pictures to objects: Blender add Texture UV mapping to pop can

Pasting pictures to the faces of a box

It teaches how to map an orthogonal picture of faces to a box by exporting the UV map of an unwrapped UV of the box.

I can use this technique to any photo, even with perspective. Just adjust the UV points to the photo with perspective.

Blender's image to plane converter does not adjust for perspective.
 
Actually I learn a lot of things here as well.
1. How to create a new window. Just drag at the top right of the window.
2. How to slide the menu. Press the mouse scroll wheel and left button to drag the menu so that we can see the other viewport options in the object tab.
3. How to create test images, UV grid, in the text editor and use it for the material.
