Once you have set the image, you can use lines, grids, and pins to start extracting 3D data from your 2D image. Cropped images and tilt-shift images are offset from the lens center, using Calculate PP for 3VPs allows you to compensate for the offset.

After you have added the animation you will add a screen to the end of the arm. Once the screen has been added you will then animate the screen scaling to create a smoother transition when the screen pops out. To create some added interest and realism you will also add some lights to the scene to help emphasize the contact shadows on the concrete.

If you have issues with boiling textures, jagged lines, lots of noise, then you are having issues with aliasing. Anti-aliasing increases the sampling of a pixel to help find the most appropriate value to display, providing you with a more accurate representation of your 3D scene. Learn about the various Anti-aliasing modes, the Min. and Max. Levels, the threshold and how to use “Use object properties” in conjunction with the Compositing tag’s “Force Anti-aliasing” checkbox to control the Anti-aliasing on a per object basis, giving you fine control over the sampling within your scenes.

As lights that do not cast color, do not exist in reality. He further explores how we interpret white objects in reality based on assumption of the objects color based on its surrounds.

In Photoshop, he shows how by using a layer mask with an exposure adjustment layer you can create a more flexible version of dodge and burn.
