Vanishing Tool In Photoshop CS

The Vanishing Tool is a new tool in Photoshop CS. It is not found in Photoshop 7. You can do a number of things with this new tool. I will show you a trick with the Vanishing Tool.

Step 1 : I have opened this photo of a truck which I will elongate and add more wheels.

Step 2 : Press ALT+CTRL+V to access the Vanishing Point Tool and click on the Zoom Tool.

Alternately you can access it by going to Filter>Vanishing Point.

Step 4 : Click the Create Plane Tool or just press 'C'.

Step 5 : As soon as you click the Create Plane Tool the cursor will change as above.

Step 6 : I have clicked on a corner of the Truck's body and then dragged till I have a grid as above with the Create Plane Tool.
Step 7 : Now with the cursor I have dragged the grid at the back of the truck,

Step 8 : I have clicked the Marquee Tool.

Step 9 : I have drawn a selection with the Marquee Tool.
Step 10 : I have set the Feather at 3.
Step 11 : Press ALT and drag the selection with the cursor. The truck body has been extended and has more wheels.
Step 12 : I have again pressed ALT and dragged the selection which has further elongated the body and added more wheels.
