One of the cornerstones of professional retouching is to always perform your retouches on their own separate layer. That way you never “bruise” (damage) the pixels of the original image. However, when using the Healing Brush in Photoshop 7, you really had no choice—you had to use it on the same layer. In Photoshop CS, you can heal to another layer. But first, there’s a little setting you have to change. Get the Healing Brush from the Toolbox, then up in the Options Bar, turn on the checkbox for Sample All Layers. Next, click on the Create a New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette to create a new blank layer above your Background layer and do your “healing” there.

When you create a grid box inside Vanishing Point, in addition to having the option of returning that grid back to Photoshop as a 3D object, you also have the option of exporting it as a 3D object that you can import into After Effects CS3 and manipulate in a 3D layer. Just click on the small right-facing triangle in the top of the dialog and in the flyout menu, choose Export for After Effects CS3 (.vpe).
