Vanishing Point in Photoshop Elements?

Hello everyone! 

Is there a "Vanishing Point" equivalent/alternative in Photoshop Elements?

I'd like to place a text on a car.
I'm using  version 21.0.

tHIS IS PSE 2014- ALL THE OPTIONS YOU SEE are basically the same for all versions.  Change the layer style to overlay- try the different layer styles and use what you like. 

There are other tools you might like in Filter>distort.

Really don't think vanishing point would be a good idea for putting an image on a car, but use whatever makes you happy.

If you want to do something like the following screenshot, you can use the Transform>Perspective tool on a text layer.  But you will have to simplify the text layer before doing so.  I used the Skew option for this example. 

 

 

 

Elements 24 introduced the Warp tool  in the Transform menu which is not shown in Glenn's screenshot:

Have you asked in the Elements forum?

Reading your post again, I wouldn't use VP to place text on a car.  However, I have never used Photoshop Elements so don't know what tools it has.  A quick Google tells me that PE can do Free Transform, but does not have a Pen Tool, so can't do work paths. It does apparently have Smart Objects, so when you create the text layer, make it a Smart Object, and use Free Transform to place the text on the car.  I can't really demonstrate.  Least ways, I could with Photoshop, but that is not going to help you.   

 

We can move this thread if you like?  

Whoops.  Someone has already done that.
