Vanishing Point tools
Vanishing Point tools behave like their counterparts in the main Photoshop toolbox. You can use the same keyboard shortcuts for setting tool
options. Selecting a tool changes the available options in the Vanishing Point dialog box.
Edit Plane tool
Selects, edits, moves, and resizes planes.
Create Plane tool
Defines the four corner nodes of a plane, adjusts the size and shape of the plane, and tears off a new plane.
Marquee tool Makes square or rectangular selections, and also moves or clones selections.
Double-clicking the Marquee tool in a plane selects the entire plane.
Stamp tool
Paints with a sample of the image. Unlike the Clone Stamp tool, the Stamp tool in Vanishing Point can't clone elements from
another image. See also Paint with sampled pixels in Vanishing Point and Retouch with the Clone Stamp tool.
Brush tool
Paints a selected color in a plane.
Transform tool
Scales, rotates, and moves a floating selection by moving the bounding box handles. Its behavior is similar to using the Free
Transform command on a rectangle selection. See also Transform freely.
Eyedropper tool
Selects a color for painting when you click in the preview image.
Measure tool
Measures distances and angles of an item in a plane. See also Measure in Vanishing Point (Photoshop Extended)
Zoom tool
Magnifies or reduces the view of the image in the preview window.
Hand tool Moves the image in the preview window.
Magnify or reduce the preview image
Do any of the following:
Select the Zoom tool
in the Vanishing Point dialog box, and click or drag in the preview image to zoom in; hold down Alt (Windows) or
Option (Mac OS), and click or drag to zoom out.
Specify a magnification level in the Zoom text box at the bottom of the dialog box.
Click the Plus sign (+) or Minus sign (-) button to zoom in or out, respectively.
To temporarily zoom into the preview image, hold down the "x" key. This is especially helpful for placing the corner nodes when defining a
plane, and for working on details.
Move the image in the preview window
Do any of the following:
Select the Hand tool in the Vanishing Point dialog box, and drag in the preview image.
Hold down the spacebar with any tool selected, and drag in the preview image.
