                <div><div class="section"><p>Vanishing Point simplifies perspective-correct
editing in images that contain perspective planes—for instance,
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.</p>
<div class="fignone"><img alt="" id="tr_19" src="images/tr_19.png" /><div class="figdesc">Making edits on the perspective planes in an image</div><br /></div><p>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.</p>
