STEP 4 To modify the camera angle, Press N to select the Camera Rotate tool, click the X-, Y-, or Z-axis points on the Axis icon to choose the camera orientation, and then click and drag on your 3D image to orbit, roll, pan, walk, and zoom different aspects of your 3D image. STEP 5 To apply lighting to your 3D object, select Window > 3D to open the 3D panel, click the Create A New Light button at the bottom of the 3D panel (it’s the New icon next to the Trash icon), and select the type of light you’d like to apply (point, spot, infinite, or image based) from the pop-up menu. You can then adjust the settings for the new light source in the 3D panel. STEP 6 When you have finished editing the 3D object, continue working in Photoshop until you have completed your layout. Figure 31-3 shows this 3D image in an advertisement.
