Using the Camera section, found in the Photograph Setup area in Photo Lab, is a way of limiting what is visible in the rendering view.

• By moving the Clipping slider further to the right, you will effectively cut out objects and surroundings that are closer to the camera. This distance is controlled by the slider. The more you move the slider to the right, the more contents around the edges are cut out.

• The Perspective slider controls the camera’s viewing angle, similar to adjusting the focal length of a camera lens. Moving the slider to the right widens the viewing angle, allowing more of the drawing to be included in the image, similar to zooming out. Moving it to the left narrows the viewing angle, making objects appear closer and more focused, similar to zooming in.

  You can also adjust the perspective by rolling the scroll wheel on your mouse forward or backward.

• The Elevation slider adjusts the camera height, where a zero value means that the camera is placed on the floor. Elevation is measured in actual dimensions (meters or feet and inches, based on what distance unit you have selected in the Region Tab of your Control Panel.)

  You can also change the elevation when you holding down Ctrl and dragging your scroll wheel on your mouse.

• The Pitch slider controls the vertical camera angle, i.e. if the camera is directed upwards or downwards. A value of -70 degrees (minimum) means looking straight down; a value of 90 degrees (maximum) means looking straight up. Average pitch is between 5-15.

  You can also adjust the pitch by holding down Ctrl and dragging your right-mouse button.

Besides clicking and dragging the slider, you can also enter specific numerical values in the field to the right of each slider.
