jmliss Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I cannot capture screen because that moves cursor, but when trying to use the tool a "node" cursor displays but it can't be moved onto the rasterized image, its as if it is blocked. For me, this is repeatable for different files. Perspective tool works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmliss Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 The problem also appeared in affinity publisher so I knew it was an environmental issue. I fixed the problem by reassigning my home folder back to the boot drive and the problem went away. I suspect there is some memory issue going on. Sorry for the false alarm. Ticket can be closed.

Staff MEB Posted January 17, 2022 Staff Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hi @jmliss, Contrary to the Perspective Tool where you only need to drag/move the (distortion) grid's corner handles/nodes to distort the image, the Mesh Gradient Tool requires you to double-click the image on canvas to create a node first which you can then move to distort the image. You can create as much nodes as required. So the Node cursor appearing when you select the Mesh Warp Tool is expected -it's just waiting for you to double-click somewhere to generate the first node where you need it.

jmliss Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Thank you for responding. Our posts probably crossed as I followed up saying the problem was my fault, a mac configuraton issue I'm assuming related to memory management. I know how to use the tool and it is working now. Sorry for the fourth alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
