I wanted to learn to use the Vanishing Point feature in Photoshop. I cut and pasted the text into new PS files with a blank background. Using Vanishing Point, you can create new planes on your original image (the Arch, here) with perspective set in any way you want. I created two planes to fit two of the Arch's steel plates and dragged the text in. It was automatically reshaped to fit the planes I made and, bingo, the text was in perspective, looking like it was painted on the monument itself. Photoshop can get way more complex but this is about as far as I can take it.Bob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-85230394982922798922008-08-01T16:26:00.000-05:002008-08-01T16:26:00.000-05:00I was not aware of the arch before stoppping my yo...I was not aware of the arch before stoppping my your blog previously, now I am fascinated by it.
