Fine tuning the Camera Match view

If the control lines are accurately placed, the calculated view may be close enough for your needs. However, it is still likely that the view will need fine tuning. Fine Tune View controls adjust the view while keeping the Camera Match reference anchored to the reference target in the photo.

To fine tune the view:

Select the Camera Match object.

Click Fine Tune View from the Object Info palette.

The Fine Tune View dialog box opens, with a series of control buttons across the top. Each control button, when clicked, controls the slider. Dragging the slider adjusts the view according to the chosen control. When the slider is being dragged (with the mouse button held down), the view updates. When the slider is released, the slider control re-centers itself, allowing for further adjustments.

Start tuning with the vanishing point controls; if needed, continue tuning with the rotate/distance controls.
