TEXTURE THIEF - Blender Quickie
Why Blender Stack Exchange recommends it
Blender Stack Exchange answerers point people to it when they need to align or flatten an angled reference picture or texture so it matches an orthographic view.
Recommended by 3 people across 3 different months, 2020 to 2023.
What it is
A roughly four-minute Blender Quickie from CGMatter that shows how to pull a texture out of a photo or reference image and straighten it so it can be used as a flat, usable texture in Blender. It is a short, fast-paced tutorial by the CGMatter channel and is sponsored by Squarespace.

One way I know of is by baking the modified texture to a new image. Begin by creating a blank image of the same dimensions as the texture [LINK] My original image: [LINK] My image modified by nodes: [LINK] To bake, make sure your render engine is set to cycles . Find the bake tab under render properties and uncheck lighting influences (direct and indirect) to make sure lighting is not baked into your texture and only the node modifications are. [LINK] Select the object the texture is on, the last node in the tree that you want to save edits of, and the blank image you made earlier. Make sure the blank image is selected last, ie, is the active object. In my case, I select the plane, the RGB c

There are tools to align 2d textures to orthographic view in Blender, in this case I'm not sure the result will be good but you can test it. See [this video]
