Description Just warming up before the plunge...

A tip to any noobies learning perspective (a.k.a. anyone like me!): if you're frustrated and overwhelmed by perspective, the fastest, easiest, most leisurely, straight-forward baby-brained way to learn how to find the horizon is following these four steps (are you ready?):

1)Go to View>Turn on Rulers 
2)Click on the Shape tool> Set it to Line ( / )
3)Drop a picture of a tiled bathroom in your PS doc
4)Find two intersecting lines>Take the Move tool and Click on the top Ruler> Drag the horizontal line it makes to the point the two lines intersect

That's it! 
Note: Be mindful that, depending on the angle, there may be multiple vanishing points but the horizon where your lines intersect will be constant (so don't panic!). Absolutely there will be natural vanishing points that won't be clean and simple to find, that's why you're practicing this method in a relatively controlled environment, where the clues are easy to put together.
