Duplicating Areas

Once you have the planes defined, you can use the other tools from Vanishing Point's tool palette. If you use the Marquee tool to make selections, you can hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) and drag within the selected area to move a duplicate of the selected area. As you move the selected area, Vanishing Point will scale the image based on the perspective plane on which you drag (Figures 16.62 and 16.63). But since this chapter is all about retouching, let's check out what can be done with the main retouching tool in Vanishing Point—the Clone Stamp tool.
