      I'm in Match Photo hell. I can't exit it. I've done a search and seen references to canceling it. I can't find a cancel button anywhere, including right-clicking on the screen for a context menu. I even saved and reopened -it's still there. How do you leave the Matrix?

        Window > PhotMatch > Done

          That was one of the things I tried. Window/Match Photo brought up the Match Photo dialog box, but Done was grayed out, as I hadn't actually done anything yet; I had just mistakenly imported the photo as a match instead of as an image. Then I couldn't leave.

          I ended up deleting the file and turning its skb into an skp. Wow, that's a handy feature.

            The PM window is always confined to a certain scene (that it creates when you import such a photo). Navigating away from the scene - or deleting the scene - will get you out of PM too.

              Gaieus -Sorry for asking, but how, specifically, would I navigate away from, or delete it? Right-clicking gave me few options. About all I could do was close the file.

                Navigate: Orbit or Pan would do it in this case.

                  Just out of curiousity I opened a new file and imported a match photo. I didn't do any work on it, just tried to leave. I orbitted and panned, but it didn't let me out. Neither did clicking on Done (which wasn't grayed out this time). Do these techniques work for you? I must be doing something wrong...

                    Once you have clicked on done you can delete the scene it has created.
                    Right click on the little scene tab and delete it.
