Paint with a color in Vanishing Point

  1. Select the Brush tool.
  2. Specify a brush color by doing one of the following:

    • Select the Eyedropper tool and click a color in the preview image.

    • Click the Brush Color box to open the Adobe Color Picker to select a color.

  3. In the tool options area, set the Diameter (brush size), Hardness (the amount of anti-aliasing on the brush), and Opacity (the degree that the painting obscures or reveals the image beneath it).
  4. Choose a Healing mode:

    • To paint without blending with the color, lighting, and shading of the surrounding pixels, choose Off.

    • To paint and blend the strokes with the lighting of the surrounding pixels while retaining the selected color, choose Luminance.

    • To paint and blend with the colors, lighting, and shading of the surrounding pixels, choose On.

  5. (Optional) Specify the paint application options:

    • To paint continuously, automatically conforming to the perspective from one plane to another, open the Vanishing Point menu and choose Allow Multi-Surface Operations. Turning this option off lets you paint in the perspective of one plane at a time. You need to stop and then start painting in a different plane to switch perspective.

    • To confine painting to the active plane only, open the Vanishing Point menu and choose Clip Operations To Surface Edges. Turning this option off lets you paint in perspective beyond the boundaries of the active plane.

  6. Drag in the image to paint. When painting in a plane, the brush size and shape scales and orients properly to the plane’s perspective. Shift-drag constrains the stroke to a straight line that conforms to the plane’s perspective. You can also click a point with the Brush tool and then Shift-click another point to paint a straight line in perspective.
    The Brush tool honors marquee selections and can be used to paint a hard line along the edge of the selection. For example, if you select an entire plane, you can paint a line along the perimeter of the plane.
