&ow I want to create a 'anishing point for the screen of the laptop. (an! )hotoshop users*

including m!self* don$t !et ha'e )hotoshop "S% or "S+* so this tutorial won$t utili,e the useful

'anishing point filter a'ailable in these 'ersions. Instead* we$re going to manuall! create a fa-e

'anishing point.

Select the screen part of !our laptop using the lasso tool. hen cop! !our selection* create a new

photoshop document* and paste in the selection. o to image/image si,e and double whate'er

!our image si,e is. In this case the original screen was %0px wide* so I simpl! doubled this to

0px.

hen paste this new larger screen bac- into !our original document. )ositioning it roughl! where

!ou thin- it loo-s good in terms of perspecti'e.

Step +:

&ow select !our line tool and a nice bright color for it and draw lines each corner of !our large

screen through to the matching corner of the original screen and past to a 'anishing point. 2o this

with each corner of the laptop screen* until !ou ha'e something li-e the image below:

Step :

&ow duplicate !our larger laptop screen and select edit/free transform. hen in the menu near thetop of !our screen 3see diagram below4 change the 5 3width4 and H 3height4 percentages from

100 to 70.

(o'e this resi,ed image so that it matches up with the perspecti'e lines that !ou created earlier.

8e sure to place this resi,ed screen la!er behind the largest screen la!er but abo'e !our original

laptop photo la!er.

9epeat this process of duplicatingresi,ingaligning using the resi,ing percentages of 0* ;0*

and 60 from !our large screen la!er. 9emember that !our original laptop photo is

Step iew

a grid o'er !our image and then use the free transform tool to resi,e !our photo to fit nicel! into

the grid s?uares. (a-e sure that the photo fits into an e'en number of grid s?uares for it$s height

and width. In this example the photo is resi,ed to be grid s?uares wide and 6 high.

Step 6:

&ow duplicate !our photo la!er* as !ou want to retain a cop!. 8e sure to hide the duplicate la!er

and go bac- to !our original. Select !our single column mar?uee tool from !our selection palette

3it$s under the 9ectangle and @lliptical mar?uee tools4. Asing !our grid clic- the grid line that mar-s

the center point of !our image and delete a central 1px column. hen switch to the single row

mar?uee tool and do the same to delete a 1px line across the center of !our image. Bou want

these lines to be a l ittle larger than 1px though* so grab !our magic wand tool and clic-

somewhere outside of !our photo image. his will select all of the area surrounding the photo* but

also the 1px lines cutting through it. hen go to select/modif!/expand and expand the selection

b! +px. hen hit delete to achie'e an effect li-e the image below:

si,e of !our largest4. 5ith !our photo la!er selected 3the one !ou$'e Cust cut up using the grid4 go

to edit/transform/distort and distort the photo so that it fits exactl! o'er this smallest laptop screen

image. o fit it well !ou ma-e need to reduce the la!er$s opacit! to allow the screen underneath to

Step 1%:

Bou should still ha'e !our original photo la!er* as it was duplicated for safe -eeping near the start

of the tutorial. 2uplicate the la!er again* and mo'e it so that it is the first la!er abo'e !our laptop

image la!er. hen go to edit/transform/distort and fit the photo nicel! o'er the laptop screen.

hen hide all of !our 'anishing point guidelines and ma-e sure that all of !our chec-erboard photo

la!ers are 'isible. Seeing as all these la!ers are within the same la!er set select the la!er set and

drag it to ma-e the graphic more central in !our document.

Step 1+:

1px brush selected and then once !ou ha'e created !our bend! pen line right clic- on it and select

#stro-e path$. hen simpl! duplicate !our line la!er until !ou ha'e multiple white lines across !our
