Dear Members,

Let us try to use vanishing point to adjust the perspective effect.

1. Open Corel DRAW.
2. Type the text, say “Inside”. Stretch it to make it bigger.
3. Effects > Add perspective
4. Press top point over the letter “I” towards right side (top left point of the perspective).
5. Press top point over the letter “e” towards left side (top right point of the perspective).
6. This will make the effect, which is tapering towards the top and widened towards the bottom.
7. If you have sufficiently compressed the top portion of the word ”Inside”, you will find the point is displayed in the window, on the page similar to the letter “X” which is called vanishing point, which is situated on the top of the word.
8. We will try to adjust the effect using this vanishing point.
9. Place the mouse pointer on the vanishing point.
10.  It will turn into cross hair cursor, which indicate that you can work with it.
11. Press the mouse button and drag the vanishing point towards left.
12. You will find that the whole upper tapering part of the perspective is moving towards left.
13. Please make a note that the base remains stationary.
14. Now, move the vanishing point towards right.
15. The upper part is moving towards right.
