Vanishing Point simplifies perspective-correct editing in images that contain perspective planes—for example, the sides of a building, walls, floors,
or any rectangular object. In Vanishing Point, you specify the planes in an image, and then apply edits such as painting, cloning, copying or
pasting, and transforming. All your edits honor the perspective of the plane you're working in. When you retouch, add, or remove content in an
image, the results are more realistic because the edits are properly oriented and scaled to the perspective planes. After you finish working in
Vanishing Point, you can continue editing the image in Photoshop. To preserve the perspective plane information in an image, save your
document in PSD, TIFF, or JPEG format.
Making edits on the perspective planes in an image
Photoshop Extended users can also measure objects in an image, and export 3D information and measurements to DXF and 3DS formats for use
in 3D applications.

Vanishing Point dialog box overview
The Vanishing Point dialog box (Filter > Vanishing Point) contains tools for defining the perspective planes, tools for editing the image, a measure
tool (Photoshop Extended only), and an image preview. The Vanishing Point tools (Marquee, Stamp, Brush, and others) behave similarly to their
counterparts in the main Photoshop toolbox. You can use the same keyboard shortcuts to set the tool options. Opening the Vanishing Point menu
displays additional tool settings and commands.
