Keep Things In Perspective With Photoshop's Vanishing Point

Take a look at the sign below - changing the sign text to read something different would be a difficult task using traditional methods. But it is much easier when using Vanishing Point.

The Vanishing Point tool is a great feature in helping you to work within an image that has elements in a specific perspective, without having to jump into the entire 3D package in Photoshop.
To begin, activate Vanishing Point by clicking Filter > Vanishing Point. A giant dialog box appears. Now create a plane that simulates the perspective of the sign by activating the Create Plane tool.
NOTE: If your grid boundaries are red and there is no grid pattern, this means the shape you created cannot be a true perspective. If that happens, adjust the corner points until it becomes a blue grid.
Go back to the sign image, and reopen the Vanishing Point dialog box. You will find that the perspective grid created earlier is still there. Press CTRL+V or Cmd+V to paste the new sign graphic into this dialog box. At first glance, it will look like it didn't work. See below.
NOTE: Drag the pasted layer around in the perspective window until you find the edge, then grab the corner or edge handle to scale.
