From Andromeda, this filter will put just about any perspective on your image. It's a great filter to have in your filter tool box, especially if you do any Flash animation. I made the above image by creating 8 copy layers of the original switch engine. Then, using Perspective filter, I applied an effect that turns the image. Perspective makes it easy because it retains the last setting used. I was able to go from one layer to the next and simply give a single click to rotate the image to the next position. When finished I imported the Photoshop file into LiveMotion, which retains the layer properties and their sequence. I then turned each layer on then off sequentially in the LiveMotion timeline, which results in the animation. The green grid lines I added for depth effect.
Notice that the beginning and ending images are reversed from each other. Perspective can rotate your image completely around for a look as if from behind. Great for projection shots onto windows or view screens, mirror images, etc.
Below are many of the great effects Perspective can do. Some of the features of Perspective are built-in presets, user-savable settings, rotate, spin, zoom in and out, tilt, and camera in and out, changeable background colors (when you zoom out the camera view, the 'canvas' becomes visible) and a perspective grid view (not like my green grid, just a viewable grid that is not applied with the filter FX..)
