How to Get Out of 3D Mode inPhotoshop


In this tutorial, you'll learn how to get out of 3D mode in Photoshop. Whilst in 3D mode, your layer will not appear correctly as it still needs to be rendered into an image first, so we'll explain that process here.


If you prefer to follow along with a video tutorial, here's a quick video from the Envato Tuts+ YouTube channel you can't miss:





What You'll Learn in This Photoshop Tutorial


In this tutorial, I'll teach you how to get out of 3D Mode in Adobe Photoshop. Topics we cover will include:



  • How to reset the workspace to its default setting

  • How to render a 3D layer 

  • How to convert the rendered 3D layer into a smart object



1. How to Reset the Workspace to the Default


Step 1


So you've just finished your 3D project in Adobe Photoshop, and you're ready to learn how to turn off 3D mode in Photoshop and continue working as you would normally. In this tutorial, I'll take you through how to exit 3D mode in Photoshop.

Step 2


In 3D mode, the workspace is almost completely different, and you will need to get out of 3D mode in Photoshop in order to use tools as you normally would, such as the brush tool, the type tool, the paint bucket tool, etc. 


The viewport also completely changes as it displays gridlines, a 3D gizmo, and 3D navigational tools. So let's begin to learn how to get out of 3D mode in Photoshop!

To exit 3D mode, first navigate to Window > Workspace > Essentials (Default) to reset your Adobe Photoshop workspace back to the default.

2. How to Render the 3D Layer


Step 1


Now, to remove all the 3D options such as the navigation tools and grid, you need to right-click on the 3D layer and select Render 3D Layer. The rendering might take a while, but you can stop it at any time by pressing the Escape key.

Step 2


After the rendering is finished, right-click the 3D layer, and choose Convert to Smart Object. This will prevent any accidental changes to the 3D layer. And that's how you exit 3D mode in Photoshop!
