10 CREATE PERSPECTIVE


USE THE VANISHING POINT FILTER


SELECT THE IMAGE
The Vanishing Point filter allows you to bring
content in your image into perspective. Select
the layer you want to move into perspective.
Press Cmd/Ctrl+C to copy that layer.

CREATE EDITING PLANE
Select the Filter button in the top menu. Scroll
down to Vanishing Point tab in the pull down
menu. You can also use the keyboard shortcut
Alt/Opt+Cmd/Ctrl+V. Click the four corners of a
perspective plane or object in the image to
create an editing grid plane.

APPLY IMAGE
Apply your copied layer to the newly created
perspective grid by pressing Cmd/Ctrl+V to
paste the layer into perspective. Adjust the
pasted image if needed and press OK.

TWOPOINT
PERSPECTIVE
In two-point perspective, there
are two points that an object’s
lines come from, and the sides
of the object vanish to one of
two vanishing points on the
horizon line.

SINGLEPOINT PERSPECTIVE
Single-point perspective only has one
vanishing point on the horizon line. This
perspective is good for images like a hallway
or street that directly faces you.

THREEPOINT
PERSPECTIVE
In three-point perspective
there is one stationary point
and two vanishing points
somewhere on the horizon, but
unlike the two-point
perspective, there is also a
vanishing point above or below
the horizon line that the
vertical lines disappear to.

FOURPOINT
PERSPECTIVE
Four-point perspective can be
used with either a horizontal or
a vertical horizon line. It can
show both a worm’s-eye and
bird’s-eye view of a scene at
the same time.
