jbb Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Running into an issue where the Perspective Tool in dual plane mode is oriented 90 degrees from where I need it, and 90 degrees from where I've seen it appear in all tutorials, videos, and forums. My photo is portrait orientation. The dual plane perspective tool is oriented with vertex line running horizontally. In all the tutorials and other resources, the orientation of the dual plane tool is oriented 90 degrees from this (again, photos are portrait orientation, but vertex line runs horizontally). Any ideas on what's going on, or how to re-orient the tool? Dragging all the points 90 degrees creates bizarre results.

AffinityJules Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The only time I have ever known that to happen to me (I'm no expert)- is when I have rotated the canvas while the perspective tool is active. This in effect will rotate the dual perspective grid through 90 degrees. Is this what you have done to the image?

I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. These are not my own words but I sure like this quote.

jbb Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 @AffinityJules This seems to be something different. No rotation done. Photo starts this orientation, and no rotating of the canvas. But thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted May 12, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi @jbb, Sorry to see you're having trouble! I too have not seen this happen previously if the document has not been rotated. Could you please attach a sample of the .afphoto document and the image used (separately) to your reply here? Many thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

AffinityJules Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Out of curiosity I opened your file in Photo and the perspective tool did as you described, but, after rasterising the image and trying the perspective tool again it behaved as I would expect it to, namely, normally.

The Pixel object in the file has a rotation of -90 degrees. Rasterising it replaces it with a Pixel object with no rotation and then the Perspective tool works as you expect.

Staff Dan C Posted May 13, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 13, 2021 Many thanks for the files @jbb! As mentioned above, the image has a -90 degree rotation applied, which is why the Perspective Tool is being added in this orientation. I have opened the image supplied as a new document here and I can see it opens with a 0 degree Rotation value, however uploading the file to the forums may have changed the EXIF rotation information from the original file, which Affinity uses to determine how to orientate the image when importing. To rasterise the image and resolve this issue, please right-click on your image layer in the Layers Studio and then select Rasterise, you should find the rotation value is now 0 in the Transform Studio and the Perspective tool should now be implemented in the expected orientation. Please do let us know if this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
