Live projection, what am I doing wrong?


Recommended Posts

I used live perspective projection in the past but suddenly I do not get it working for me.

I chose layer > live projection > perspective projection

I did the edits, the edits on the background work just fine. I added another picture (the key) but this one is not projected at all.

Do I need to merge the layers every time?

Does Perspective work with Image layer? Doesn't need rasterization to Pixel layer?

Good catch Psenda, you're correct here as Live Perspective Projection can't be added to an (Image) layer - in my testing I've found that the projection is only applied to the singular layer that's selected at the time and it cannot be applied to a layer that hasn't been rasterised.

Unfortunately Perspective Projection can't be applied to groups either. You may find the Perspective Tool suits your workflow better here, you can find out more about this tool here - https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Tools/tools_perspective.html?title=Perspective Tool

Hi,

I am having a similar issue. I used to be able to add perspective to a embedded document so i could embed a saved art board from affinity designer, edit the perspective to fit a mock up i created and then I can click on my embedded document in photo and change the art boards to see different previews. However It's been around a year since I last used it and now I cant use Live Projection on embedded documents any more. It's just grayed out so I cant use it.

Hi mr.harpermayo,

Welcome to the forums :)

I've rolled back to version 1.6.5 which was made live in August 2018, created a new document in Photo and placed a Designer document with 2 artboards as an embedded document. With this document layer selected, I cannot apply any Live Projection, as shown here -

As far as I'm aware, this has always been the case - however your previous workflow would assume otherwise. I will check with our QA team tomorrow and update this thread with any pertinent information :)
