I cloned away the hanging plant and covered it with a perfectly lined up (and in perspective) brick pattern. We can clone in perspective by grabbing the Clone Stamp tool in this dialog box and Alt/Opt clicking where we wish to clone from and then simply painting over the object we’re looking to clone away. This option will be grayed out if you select more than one plane. TIP: You have to select just the one plane you want to work with. If the perspective plane your drag out doesn’t quite line up like you think it should in your image, simply change the “Angle” option up in the top toolbar until it looks right. You are able to “break out” new planes from your initial plane and create additional planes along the same perspective as your first plane by holding down your Cmd/Ctrl key and hovering over any of the middle anchor points and simply pulling a new plane out and dragging it as large as you like. Find the straight lines in your image and follow them, it makes things much easier! 2. We’re going to follow the lines along the edges of the alley to establish a perspective plane that runs along this alley. The active tool will be the Create Plane Tool. Create a new layer and then go Filter>Vanishing Point. Drag the second line to the next endpoint.I like to create a new layer above my image before entering Vanishing Point so I clone or paste or edit up on a new layer instead of my original image.Once the first line’s ready, hold down the Alt/ Option key and select the endpoint of the first line.
Start the line and drag it to the end point.You’ll need to create two measuring lines instead of one to be able to read the angle between them. You can use the Ruler tool to measure an angle in your image by creating a Protractor. Depending on how you need to edit your measuring line, do one of the following: Drag one of the line’s ends to resize the line, select and move the line to a different place in your document, or drag the line out of the image to remove it from your document completely.To edit a measuring line in Photoshop, follow the steps below. If you draw the measuring line in the wrong place by mistake, you can always edit it. If you already have a measuring line drawn in your document, it’ll be displayed on the screen when you select the Ruler tool. If you didn’t modify the measurement unit, they’ll be calculated in pixels by default. You’ll see the ruler scale and info panel appear around your image.Īside from the angle, all measurements on the Info panel are shown in the measurement unit that you previously set. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + R (for Windows) or Cmd + R (for Mac) to do the same. If you can’t see the Ruler tool when you open your image in Photoshop, select View from the menu, then select Rulers.

How to Use the Ruler Tool in Photoshopīefore you can start measuring distance in Photoshop, you need to learn where to find the Ruler tool and how to read the measurement attributes. These lines are non printing and are only there to help you position your image or the elements of an image properly. The lines can tell you the size of an object you’re measuring, distance between objects, as well as angles and exact coordinates of an object in your photo. With the Ruler tool you can create measurement lines between any two points of your image in any direction.
Photoshop has a handy Ruler tool that allows you to do that. If you’re looking to create a perfect image in Photoshop, you’ll need to mark distances in your photo precisely and create or cut out objects of calculated sizes.
