Painting in Perspective Mode

[Zirngibism]

Ok, I know that in CS3 extended there's a way to find corners in photographs and sort of skew the editing into perspective with whatever walls there are in the photograph.

I heard that when one brings images into this "mode" but sometimes they get messed up (pixelated I think).

Anyway, I was wondering if, knowing this, it would be a good idea to try painting on one of these "perspective walls". I'm just afraid that if I brought it back into "normal" mode it would be damaged. Anyone know if it would work?

(Sorry, don't have PS with me right now so I can't check)

Thanks.

It's a filter called Vanishing Point, and it's in both Ps CS3 and Ps CS3 Extended (its first release was in CS2). It basically helps editing images in perspective.
If I understand your question correctly, you ask whether you should paint your image first then put it into perspective with VP, or whether you should paint in perspective inside VP straight away, right?
You can paint while you're in the filter, but I wouldn't recommend it--you only get a standard round brush, with diameter, hardness, opacity, and color settings. You'd be much better off painting first then importing it into Vanishing Point as an image. The pixelating you mentioned often occurs when you resize the image in VP. If you resize it first then import it, it should look fine.
