To make guidelines that lead to vanishing points, I make a 1 pixel line and rotate it until it is aligned, though at times this process becomes cumbersome. Is there an easier way to create guide lines to vanishing points?

This is driving my crazy, I have been using vanishing point to copy a slab of granite onto a counter top to see what it would look like with my kitchen decor.
Everything was going along just fine and I got an island countertop covered using the right plane for it but when i tried to repeat the process for another section of counter I can't get it to work.
I make the grids just where I want them and include the island counter in the grid so I will have a source to copy from.? When I click on the Marquee tool for selecting a section of the source and then click and drag it to where I want it there is nothing in the selection.
I can see the rectangle of the Marquee moving as I drag but when I get to the target area and release it there is nothing there.
I have a number of vertical and horizontal guides to be placed, at different points. Is there a better way of placement rather than zooming up on the ruler area, watching the Nav coordinates and dragging and dropping? I'm really looking for a method which will I can key in the actual placement coordinates in some way, and the guide will jump to this point?

Draw an ellipse. Skew it with mouse.
Draw a rectangle to allign with ellipse's outer dimension by Alignment Guides (not by Align and Distribute command).Â
Now the aligned side of the Rectangle must be tangent to the ellipse BUT it's not! To verify, try to search an intersection point. Draw a Guideline and snap it to the rectangle's aligned side. It must be intersection point between Guideline and Ellipse but there isn't...

My photos are vanishing. Originally I was just not finding files that should be there, Then I witnessed while viewing thumbnails in Windows Explorer, images would begin getting blacked out from the bottom up. Once the entire image is blacked out the file vanishes. This started a year ago. I tried 3 different security suites and they were of no help and their support staffs would only say that it was "not their fault". I finally changed the system hard drive and the problem seemed to stop. Now it's back. It is happening to .PSD .JPG and .NEF (nikon Raw). It may be happening to other files on the computer, I don't know.

When I'm done I export using save as 3ds and then import in to Autodesk 3ds Max 2009 and After Effects CS3 (saving as vpe). I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I always get the camera flipped in strange angels. Is there some sort of tutorial showing how the workflow how to set up a scene that works in a 3dsMax or After Effects?

Then I wanted to put my words on a newpaper for the back of the flyer...so I took a pic of a newspaper at the angle I wanted and then used VP AGAIN to do EXACTLY what I wanted!
Vanishing point rocks!
Dont mind the clipping on the corners...There is a bleed area when you make the flyers...so there is nothing that needs to go there
I've got a problem using Vanishing Point filter in Photoshop CS4. When I load this filter an error message pops saying "The operation could not be completed" I attach a screen cap of the error.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI`m currently using PS CS5 Extended to measure some objects in Vanishing Point (because I need the measurements to respect a certain perspective plane) and I`ve come across something that doesn`t seem right. I`ll try to describe it as best i can. I`m drawing my perspective plane based on a white reference square 60x60 cm. Then I calibrate the grid (with the measure tool) and when I extend the perspective towards the vanishing point (towards the small sides of the square) evething is fine, my calibration value does not change (as it should). But when I extend the perspective away from the vanishing point (towards the large sides of the square) my calibration value changes, it`s value increases. This is a HUGE problem for me as this influences all my subsequent measurements. It makes me question how correct the measurements really are. When I extend the grid the calibration value should NOT change. explain why this happens????
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo I have this new job where I have to drop rugs and carpets into masked out room scenes. I went to my broadloom carpet file - selected the carpet - went to the room scene file - added a layer - went to vanishing point - created my grid - CTRL V .........and nothin! All of my options are greyed out.
What gives!! I have spent the whole day closing opening files, restarting PS, trying this on different files scouring the web for an answer to my dilemma.
I'm working in CS3. I have created a multi-layered image. Now, I want to go back to one layer and begin editing in vanishing point. But, when I'm in that layer, vanishing point is greyed out in the filters drop down. What's my problem and how do I get on the right track?
View 4 Replies View Related just received a file and it took me a while to work out that part of the artwork was created using vanishing point. Is there a quick way to know if vanishing point has been used in the file? Unlike other filters, there doesn't appear to be any symbols indicating this.

I'm using a CS3 with a powermac and having trouble accessing Vanishing Point. No matter what I try, it remains grayed out and unavailable in the menu of filters. I've tried selecting the layer I want to work with, made a new layer, even tried selecting from different tools. I can open other filters but not this one. This is a complex, large file with many layers...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to use the VP tool in CS5 to do some camera matching work for 3dsMax. The potential is huge - it is really intuitive and fast to set up in Photoshop, but the exports never seem to work right. The cameras do not line up properly when loaded into Max, or the planes are all over the place (upside down etc) and it only seems to export one grid, no matter how many I've made in VP.
Â
It's a great tool for quick fixes inside Photoshop, but exports seem largely useless right now - so wondering if this is something that is getting a tune-up for CS6, or how to get something more functional out of CS5?
Any fixes coming for PSCC when the cursor vanishes (Don't say it's an Apple prob, because it only happens in PS and all 6 of my machines.) Also the tools freeze quite often and won't come back until I touch the desktop. Then PS plays catch up doing every click or hit I happen to hit in frustration. Reinstalled it twice from a clean install. This is not a release ready product. BTW I have been using PS since 1994 to color comic books and with photography.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhy the vanishing point option is grayed out? I am new on CS2 V9. and really appreciating what a great toolkit this is.
I have a circular image facing in the vertical plane which I want to lay down horizontal and have as in perspective (like taking a ringed archery target and laying it on the floor).
I am assuming that I need the create plane tool and believe that I get to this through the vanishing point filter.
I use CS3 Vanishing Point tool to create 3D planes, and return 3D Layer to Photoshop
but the result seems to be disgusting, the texture's resolution of the 3D layers were decreased
the left is captured in Vanishing Point, you can see the planes I have created
the right is the final result of the tool, details of the windows had been obviously weakened
its possible to get vanishing point plug in for elements

I want to use vanishing point but I want the text to remain editable wo I can easily swap it out.Â

I also have some images I want to use as smart objects so I can swap them out easily as well.

I'm not sure if this is possible. The Cut and paste doesnt seem to work.
I am trying to follow this tutorial on how to create anamorphic images and I don't know how to use vanishing point. How to create a flat grid like it says. Also, does the number of rows in a grid matter? Because in the picture it's like five rows across and when I create a grid it's at least twenty rows across. I have an art final due in a two days.
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen you open, let's say a PNG file, it creates a default locked Background layer, fine, now edit it, turn it into Layer 0 for example, and save, again as PNG, ...the next time you open that file, you'll get your Layer 0 and not a Background layer, I definitely need to get rid off that behavior, I need that Background Layer to be there! PNG isn't a PSD or TIFF, why is Photoshop saving Layer infos? and where? in the PNG? in a Cache ? I tried a bit of things to retrieve that "Background layer" when opening but PS CS5 still stores that info somewhere...
Â
What I want is to prevent Photoshop doing that. That is, the next time I'm re-opening a file that is not supposed to have layers (like a PSD or TIFF), it opens it with "Background Layer" ! and not Layer 0 if I already opened it / edited / saved in Photoshop.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a photo of a white bus, and I need to put a banner onto the side of the bus. The banner has a solid black rectangular background. After using the Vanishing Point filter to make the banner look like it has the same perspective as the bus, the edges of the banner are jaggy. If I use the Free Transform tool to manually distort the banner into the right perspective, the edges of the banner are smooth. Is there a way to smooth out or antialias the edges when using Vanishing Point?

I'm building a digitial room setting, and want to place a simply painting (extrusion created with Repousse, texture layer merged down onto 3D layer) on the wall in proper perspective, with an extruded canvas like so:
This took plenty of time to accomplish. Nudging, moving, stretching, etc.. You can see my gridlines of course there created by the Vanishing Point filter. Is there an easier or quicker way to match up 3d objects within PS to these perspective planes other than doing it visually this way?
