multible layers with warp tool?


Recommended Posts

hi. im havin trouble with the warp mesh tool. i have selected two layers that need to be warped together. i dont want to merge them yet, just change/warp them together. i can do other stuff, like move them together with the move tool. is there a way to do this? 
in the picture you can see that only the red layer is warped, even though both the red and the yellow sewing machine-layer is checked.

Unfortunately warp is currently limited to a single pixel layer.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

It also works on groups. In @globso's case, the two pixel layers need to be grouped first (creating a group within the parent group). Keep in mind, that warp is a destructive feature and will create a merged pixel layer of the warped layers, so you might want to copy the pixel layers first in order to keep some backups.

Good to know, but in this specific case applying to a group only leads to a rasterized combined layer. Which is not what the OP requested.

Hence my comment that the OP might want to keep a copy of the layers as backup.

Thanks, to bad, but thanks for the work around suggestions. ill test to copy the layers and then warp together, if it gets bad ill delete and do it again and so on:P lets hope for an upgrade on this feature in the future.

Try this...

Start Macro Recording
Select the first layer and Warp as required
Stop Macro Recording
Select (just) the second layer and replay the macro
