3 If you are creating a complex cylinder, do any of
the following:
• To add an anchor point to a cylinder, select the
add anchor point tool ( ) in the dialog box, and
click the right side of the wire frame. For example,
you can add an anchor point to more closely fit the
cylindrical wire frame to a picture of a bottle.
• To change an added anchor point from a smooth
anchor point to a corner anchor point and vice
versa, select the convert anchor point tool ( ), and
click the point. A smooth anchor point creates a
gentle curve when you adjust it; a corner anchor
point creates a sharp corner.
To delete an added anchor point, select the delete
•
anchor point tool ( ), and click the point. Only
round or diamond-shaped points can be deleted.
For Field of View, enter a value between 1 and
4
130. Alternatively, drag the slider to the left to
increase the apparent field-of-view, right to
decrease it. This can make the wire frame fit the
image better. If you know the field of view angle
used to photograph the image, you can enter
it here.
To delete a wire frame:
1 Select the selection tool ( ) in the 3D
Transform dialog box.
Select the wire frame, and press Backspace
2
(Windows) or Delete (Mac OS).

• To move the object, click the pan camera tool
( ) in the dialog box, and drag the object.
• To rotate the object in any direction, click the
trackball tool ( ), and drag the object.
• For Dolly Camera, enter a value between 0 and
99. Alternatively, drag the slider to the left to
magnify the transformed object, right to shrink
it. This has the same effect as if you were dollying,
or moving, the camera further from or closer to
the image.
• For Field of View, enter a value between 1 and
130, or drag the slider to the left to increase the
apparent field of view, right to decrease it.
The 3D Transform dialog box previews only the
active layer. As you manipulate an object in
three dimensions, you can align it with the contents
of underlying layers.
To align an object with an underlying layer:
Duplicate the layer with which you want
1
to align.
Within the existing stacking order, place this
2
duplicate layer directly under the layer you are
transforming.
Merge the layer to be transformed with the
3
duplicated layer.
With the Display Background option enabled in
4
the 3D Transform options, manipulate the object
on the layer.
When the layer is aligned, disable the Display
5
Background option, and click OK.
