Vanishing Point introduction

The Vanishing Point filter allows you to match the perspective of a scene. Deke uses a grimy subway stock photo as an example. The final result will be clean bricks done by manually removing the graffiti and the addition of nicer artwork and signage.

Remove perspective from new art

First, we will gather the asset which will repeat along the subway wall. Deke demonstrates how to remove an artwork from it's frame and remove the perspective to make a flat image. The image must be flat, because we will later give the art a new perspective that matches the subway. To do this, use the crop tool. Turn on the check for perspective, and you can drag the corners of your crop boundary to match the corners of the photo. Upon commitment to the crop, the image will be a flat rectangle. Place this image in your clipboard by selecting all, then using copy.

Use Vanishing Point to insert art on walls

Insert this artwork on your subway walls by first creating a new layer. Use Filter > Vanishing Point and a utility window will pop up. Simply paste the artwork in your clipboard. When you drag the image around, it will adapt to the existing plane. You can use the transform tool within the Vanishing Point window and you can scale the image down while keeping within the perspective. Use Option+Drag to repeat the image on different parts of the subway wall. Click OK to see the final changes.

Play

Reflect the wall artwork on the floor

Create a new layer called Reflections. Use the filter Vanishing Point to set up a plane that will extend along the floor. Drag the bottom edge of the existing plane to extend the space. Shift+Option+Drag to duplicate the artwork and maintain the angle. Use the Transform tool and check the option called Flop. When you click OK, the changes are committed. Lower the opacity of the layer.

Could share a lot of stories travelling around the world together. He actually wrote the book shop -- go with the giant wheel gone up Photoshop plus 84 other books but lot of other things he writes."

" And he's no friend of mine he's. Another hall of fame and bring in my good friend Deke McClelland. Native man -- God's pleasure to be any show that he had his own little podcast -- audio podcast called smart -- our. Which had been on that we sit around and drink and talk and drink and talk to him and thought yeah both of you bought."

" Pop -- check out as the dot com we've got some great. Training videos available and all kinds of treatment options and stuff but not. Oh well I thought I'd show you a little bit of vanishing point -- this is a filter that's been inside of Photoshop for a few versions now they've seen ouster tweet in overtime. But it's kind of an under appreciated filtered because there's so much stuff -- you to do now the core thing that'll let you DO. Is it allows you to match that perspective of the -- so we've got this sort of regular grimy subway scene that comes from my stock photo dot com. And what we wanted to deal sort of walk you through these -- few layers here. What I wanted to do a museum in a little bit. But when it does it do as well as get rid of -- this this grimy sort of -- that we have going here all this graffiti and everything so I've got this. Perspective edits. That I've set up here and so this is something done in vanishing point and that sort of cure -- through a little bit of this but they'll show you some it -- high end stuff they can do with it. But basically I smoothed over all of the that the bricks here got rid of all that you know terrible graffiti that was on the walls there and I also covered up some of the plug she made -- stand here at the bottom so we've got behind I stand here that went ahead and covered them up so everything's. Matching the matching the perspective of the seem a natural perspective here using filtering policy and just second. That I added these scrub co elements just to show that you know everything's been wiped clean and we now have you this these corporate elements on the wall which of course. The people like so much better and I -- some perspective tied up here. Sort of an interesting thing to do you just go and create some type pasted into the scene hoopla and yeah we I think I want. I couldn't do what I like to do -- here's what we're gonna we're gonna end up going with this with the scene here."

" I wanted to create these sort of back lit her panoramic shots. -- against each one of these walls and it will end up reflecting them and so that's we'll show you here. And then maybe next time around I'll show you how to do a perspective mask. That okay so let's get rid of these guys the first thing I wanna do. As I wanna take this painting right here and this this painting is gonna serve as this element that we're gonna repeat over and over across these walls. But now -- magic to the perspective of the scene it's already got its own perspective and so what you don't wanna do is take something that in perspective and try to shove it into another perspective because that's not gonna work and so what we're gonna do instead is we're just gonna take this paint out of it's frame. And that's something that you can do now this is this is public domain mrs. you know nineteenth century paintings that we can go ahead and modified if we want to hear. So I grab the crop tool as a very little known feature that plain simple old school. Not all that great frankly crop tool from the from the dim past of Photoshop here but it's a fairly useful tool we're you know use a regular basis. So I'm gonna drag this crop boundary around this this picture ranges pain. Notice up here in the options are this is option that says perspective. Thing case could ever wondered what the world that does. Turn it on check this out as opposed to dragging these corner handles and or decrease straight rectangular crop. I'm gonna drag each one of these corner handles independently. Of the other ones like so. And what we're gonna do is we're gonna just yank this guy right -- frame this is really useful any time you wanna take a picture of a frame for example or any other time. That you just wanna rob the image of its natural perspective silly nonsense perspective what should say is removed perspective. So I'm gonna go hand tweak -- such -- little bad get this guy moralists in the position there and then all we do if you press the return -- you know here on a Mac for the anarchy and PC bang and you're gonna see that I write out the area. -- all right so. Thing about vanishing point we having seen the dark filter yet the thing about vanishing point. Is if you wanna introduce. An image into a scene using the vanishing point filter. You've gotta go buy a copy and paste so there's no import inside. This this command which is fairly confusing but here's how it works. We'll just go up to the edit menu you I don't know where this man is there it is on is like many choose all. Just a command. BC. Go to the edit menu and you choose copy so command C control C very old school right we go back to the scene at hand. And I'm gonna go up here first first to actually thing I wanna do is -- wanna create a new layer now this is very important. Vanishing point. Works on a composite image -- other words it's looking at all the layers at the same time. But it will deliver its result on what ever layers selected so it's always a good idea before you get an -- using the the filter which is what it is. To go ahead and create a new layer so I'm gonna go here and I'm gonna choose the new layer command. And it'll just call this guy -- I don't know paintings or something like that. -- and then. We've got a new -- to work on the -- vanishing point can see right through this guy to the rest the image will go up to the -- manual and here it is right there is vanishing point now this is one of those. Commands inside of Photoshop that actually opens up an independent utility and sounds like you know little program running inside of Photoshop. So go ahead -- this guy I guess they did so I'm always -- with this a stylus here. Alright so we've already got a perspective -- set up you can see that I've got all these these these these -- these planes are drawn inside the same. And I'm gonna just go ahead and pace that's all you do an honest if you go to the edit menu it's totally damaged so it's not gonna give you an indication that this works so we're totally working inside a keyboard territory here. You do command V controlled the on the PC pace that kind of place it always comes in -- so if you like zoomed in. And indelible element that's gonna show up inside -- vanishing points in just show up in the upper left corner. You just need to know it's there and so it knows that it's not and fighter plane and all this kind of drifting in space there. Go ahead and move that guy down and as soon as you move it into the plane in hand because -- all over the place there as soon as you move into the planet hand. It's going to subscribe to that perspective on that plane right there right. Alright so I got zoom out because. We're we're way to courses in order to work Conosoga press command minus a few times. And you see now that we're seen as big murky things jar enormous compared to the same. So we switch to another tool now know as we get these tools over here and left hand side. Always tools these guys up at the top by the way this guy and in particular the great -- tool that they draw the planes in the first place you just from his four point planes reason to do."

" Actually gamers. Earlier episode -- right orbital planes there's an episode where I talk about that stuff so we ended when and why do -- is -- total output of the buying up it's topic it is alright here. The transformed tools got it."

" We're circuit he has time to do with it then you get these handles right he dragged this guy down on his move in this hood can see what the world and doing. And another it's still remains gargantuan by comparison to the same C diskette the cube working with it. And this -- get a little confusing yet to be patient with yourself and with Photoshop. When he's in the school because it will try your patience sometimes like detective for. And we've -- waited out every once a man rotation all right -- do that we know -- rotation web trying to do isn't trying to grab the corner handle any pointers there's like usual that a Photoshop. And let's move this guy in -- though. IRA who this guy a little bit let's see if I can do halfway decent job on the scene. And I'm zooming and here's crazy car right -- I went out what this guy. To be repeated here we're we're seeing right there. And here and here. -- got this this perspective plane that we can use so all you do is classic classic Photoshop illustrator all this other applications. You an option drag me to call. The -- that is happy. I thought this press yeah I think -- C right my press option that's -- on the PC we get a little clone do. Let's go and -- do I mean cursor going -- drag this over here Oprah's this year he has wealth that we're constraining. The angles so that you know Woodward -- we're doing these guys being being being -- And it does that make sense of maintaining good -- yeah yeah yeah and that's the little technical but I'll go and drag this down here. That was another shift option drag by the ways of filtering -- PC."

" I'm not sure what he is right there this is one of those things there was one happens in vanishing point did and I just went ahead press controls the Manzi. Two. Undo that is I mean everyone's well we see these in vanishing point I'm not sure I think it's a block. And then that crap I. What's her done a good and click okay in order to accept the modification -- deliver these guys on a new layer and that beautiful what do they do now. If so I think these guys these three guys bang bang bang. Man I wanna reflective Faso and reflect them on to the Florida and here so that's global do. Again before you anything and vanishing point I urge you to make a new layer -- a right. And I'll go up here again new layer we'll just call this guy reflections. Like so. And and I'll go up to the again we we've and he selected so he's ready to receive things it's an empty layer but to the filter many once again choose vanishing point. Again. This time around. I've got this plane just about this plane right here. And why I think I'll just show a little trick where planes are concerned once you draw these guys and again to it -- into -- you do you grab this tool used to click click click click. That's hike replied so it's a kind of a no brainer. I'm going and then do that I just what you see where these things come from they'll magically appear inside your image of the program. Art but once you do when you created this plane that matches the scene. Then you can either just drag I handled like so inured to. Size that friend like him doing the plane -- Or if you press the command key. Where the control key and a PC and drag. Knows you're gonna create this perpendicular -- in this case it's gonna drag across the floor that's not anything and one bird. And -- just showing you if but I --"

" Though I do what I wanted to do that what did what these guys right here to reflect straight downward. So I just wanna grab this in I want a drag it down like that to extend that frame where that plane I keep calling for an. And I'll drag this down a little more to so that we have a ton of room to work right now I get the marquee tool and it's very few marquee tool the only selection tool. That you have inside vanishing point. The great thing about it though is it. Goes hand subscribes to the perspective of the -- those thinking -- in drag like that in order to select this region right there. And trying to make sure this has been little flaky. That's moralist right policy for you drag it up just a little bit like so. -- and then. I wanna go ahead and take this part right there in I want to I wanna go and and duplicated downward. So we take this part of the same let's see if this works and does good don't drag it down like so that's a shift option drag by the way. Just like we were doing before it's shipped altering of a."

" C and the reason I'm -- options I want to duplicate that's alt. And the reason pressing shift as we're constraining angle and then my favorite thing about this just because it's the most hilarious thing. About vanishing point let's go over to transform once again which -- to do things like scale and -- knowledge as we silent a moment ago it's -- these wonderful -- bucks a traitor flip. -- One God's name do they do so -- I love these tips do this one flips the copy. This will flops the -- now now now now everything becomes so that so what the -- is basically I'm trying to remember here looked as a vertical and -- there's a horizontal and they decide not to cause much that's right. But they decided not to column you know horizontal and vertical or something because you can rotate these guys in the and -- becomes yours -- becomes vertical so what you do. He should just go ahead and give it a -- the it was flop right yeah right -- negativity that if you if you selective weapons that you go. Oh my god that's the just turn off -- distract flopped in our."

" Case in it and ends up working beautifully and then we just go and click okay. We've now delivered the reflections on their own layer and I could like press the three key or something to reduce the capacity of 30% now what's wrong with this scene -- Beyond it that we don't just it might be any -- myriad problems with it but the main thing that I'm pretty yeah and -- thing is being a problem."

" Is that. This is a straight reflection right and we're not seeing is even in doesn't dissipate Dorothea reflection of the ceiling over here ignore this wall lets -- be reflected -- we're not dealing with enough. But but what I'm gonna deal. -- if you're having an act you're not sufficiently embarrassed by me so far we're gonna do a gradient. And we're what we're I'm getting creating radiant mask right here so this scene dissipates this reflection to space."

" And we're gonna create that -- in perspective. Once again using vanishing point. I can't wait to see that that's really going to be amazing that's okay. Bob do it that this and I hope you guys terrorism from that I remember they showed a lot of stuff there and it's up to you. To go in there and play around those steps that would change here and there. We'll have totally different effect on things be of interest that's but I always -- the adventures play the mamet uses it worked his plane. In new plays and that's where I learned his program. Now there's anything you like to see on the show email me at revision3.com. -- and check out the form that Revision 3 com -- that response we didn't join discussions about the show. Thanks again for submitting your background image if you want your artwork to be back here. This is a lot sparkle us. Remember to send your designs to -- and revision3.com.

And it -- as -- who -- his woman in the whole with a -- a beautiful but it is it was a portrait just couldn't fit. You've got it adhered to those particular size. Let's take a look at sparkle -- it speeds when it one more data to that thing. I know post that without his friend. Anyway kudos. So popular something in this cinema display but I -- hope to see you next week."

In my opinion the guest host is one of the best weve had so far. Much better than the crazy hair guy from a while ago. This was definately one of the most hands on videos about photoshop we've had in a while. Not sure about you guys, but i like diving into the hard core stuff before learning the basics, that way i know what i need to learn.

Excellent episode! The vanishing point filter sounds like a very useful tool; makes me want to pick up Photoshop again :) (I've tried several times to switch to Photoshop, but I keep flipping back to Paint Shop Pro. Somehow I find its interface much more intuitive to use, but that's probably because I'm already used to it...)
