Smart Objects
Smart Objects preserve an image's source content
with all its original characteristics, so that any
scaling or effects applied to it in Photoshop are
non-destructive. This means that when you modify
your document, Photoshop re-renders Smart
Objects based on their source data. You can create
a Smart Object from pixel- or vector- based artwork.
For example, a Camera Raw image (pixel) or a
logo from Illustrator (vector) can be a Smart Object.
Enhanced Vanishing Point
With Vanishing Point, you don't have to retouch an
image as if all its contents are on a single flat plane
facing you. Instead, you can work dimensionally
on the various perspective planes in the image.
Edit multiple surfaces with control over the angle
of the connected surfaces either manually
or by entering measurements to set your scale.
