In this tutorial we'll learn some interesting things about the Vanishing Point feature in Photoshop CS2. Below is the picture we'll be working on.
At this point we can choose the Vanishing Point filter.
The Grid button is automatically selected.
Begin by drawing a rectangle in the shape of the first wall.
With the middle point on the far line selected, press the Control key and drag out a new wall.
Continue to use the method above to complete the grid. When you come to the front of the middle wall that extends outward located on the left, drag the grid back towards the wall to create the hidden right side of that wall and then create the last wall located on the right. You may have to do this several times to make it right. Using Control+Z will help when having to undo. The grid as shown below is unselected in Vanishing Point.
To fix a wall size, click on it and drag from the middle point on the side you want to adjust.
You can also delete walls and use the Grid tool to create more walls that are easy to adjust.
Select the Marquee Tool while still in Vanishing Point and encircle the picture on the far wall.
Hold the Alt key down and drag to the left wall. Notice how the perspective of the picture changed automatically.
Select the Transform tool and make the correct adjustments to the size.
Notice here that when I created a new picture on the right wall that the picture is actually backwards.
To fix that, check Flop on the Options bar above.
Here are pictures that were added to the room using some of the tricks of Vanishing Point.
