Work in Vanishing Point
1.
(Optional) Prepare your image for work in Vanishing Point.
Before choosing the Vanishing Point command, do any of the following:
•
To place the results of your Vanishing Point work in a separate layer, first create a new layer before choosing the
Vanishing Point command. Placing the Vanishing Point results in a separate layer preserves your original image
and you can use the layer opacity control, styles, and blending modes.
•
If you plan to clone the content in your image beyond the boundaries of the current image size, increase the canvas
size to accommodate the additional content. See also “
•
If you plan to paste an item from the Photoshop clipboard into Vanishing Point, copy the item before choosing the
Vanishing Point command. The copied item can be from a different Photoshop document. If you’re copying type,
you must rasterize the text layer before copying to the clipboard.
