Adobe Photoshop CS6 Top 100 Simplified Tips and Tricks by Lynette Kent

ERASE ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES with the
Vanishing Point filter
You can also use the Vanishing Point filter in
Photoshop to help you remove items in an image
while maintaining perspective.
You can edit the image in Photoshop before and after
using the Vanishing Point filter. When you save the
edited image as a PSD, TIFF, or JPEG, the perspective
planes are saved with the file. You can then reopen
the file, reapply the Vanishing Point filter, and
continue to erase or edit in perspective at a later
date.
Using the Vanishing Point grids takes a little practice.
The first grid is the most important and must be
accurate. The grid appears blue if it is showing a
correct perspective plane. If the grid appears red or
yellow, the grid must be adjusted using the anchor
points until the grid turns blue. After extending the
blue grid, you may still need to zoom in and readjust
the main anchor points to better fit the perspective of
the building or the subject.
