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.

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.
