Copy selections in Vanishing Point

1

Make a selection in a perspective plane.

2

Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac

OS) the selection with the Marquee tool to create a copy of the selection

and its image pixels.

The copy becomes a floating selection, which seems to hover above the main image. You can move a floating selection,
or you can select the Transform tool to scale or rotate the floating selection.

3

Do one of the following:

Click outside the floating selection to deselect it. The selection’s content is pasted into the image, replacing the
pixels that were below it.

Click in the floating selection with either the Marquee or Transform tool and Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag
(Mac

OS) to make another copy. Once copied, the original floating selection is deselected and replaces the pixels

that were below it.

Pressing Control+Shift+T (Windows) or Command+Shift+T (Mac OS) duplicates your last duplicating move. This
is an easy way to clone content multiple times.
