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&#160;<img src="images/P_OSXFlyoutBtn_N.png" /> displays
