Ushur Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Well using Adobe Photoshop offers you some transformation tools, I like. In some cases they could come more handy but you can do a lot of things with those. I am missing those tools in Affinity as I am working on skins for example and so some distortions are useful. For a selection of pixels I want to have the ability to set the rotation point to set a fix corner or midpoint for scalation (so this point will stay where it is) to have negative scaling (like mirroring) to get an distortion transformation tool These would be very helpful.

fde101 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 @Ushur, You can do at least the first three already using the move tool after making your selection. To set the rotation point, turn on the "Enable Transform Origin" button on the context toolbar, then drag it to where you want the rotation to anchor. To use that same point to scale around, hold down the command key (on Mac - if you are using the other platform check the status bar for what key to use) while dragging one of the handles. Depending on what you mean by distortion, if your selection is not an entire layer try Layer -> Duplicate Layer to make it into one, then try either the Mesh Warp Tool or the Perspective Tool; one of those might do what you want? debraspicher, IPv6 and Momento 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, so much, @Ushur ! You just saved my day. Happy New Year, by the way!
