Hi NBG,
Welcome to the forums :)

If you select your placed image and then from the context tool bar select convert to curves does the Mesh warp work with the image?

Thanks

Unfortunately, you can only warp images in AP and vectors in AD, as far as I know. Which is unfortunate. I hoped I was ready to prepare (for example) product mockups easily, but nope.

Do you have Affinity Photo installed if so you can jump to Affinity Photo using File > Edit in Photo...

So it makes no sense for me to upgrade to V2 😞

But isn't the image a "vector" because i converted it into curves before?!?

I own AP V1 but this workflow makes no sense... i want to warp a whole group (incl. images) the way i want... and not switching between AP/AD and putting the puzzle together 🙂

You mean like Illustrator can do?

Exactly. But AD doesn't warp images and AP converts vectors into bitmap when you want to warp them. So no use in MANY cases.

Well, you can warp it in AP, but as I said, you'll lose the ability to edit vectors, since they get converted into a bitmap.

I was a bit disappointed too... The warp feature is awesome but it would be even better if it worked with any object groups, no matter the content.
I hope they include this on further updates.

As a workaround until Serif gets it straight, er, warped, you may want to work with image placeholders first. Then switch to APh and warp a copy of the actual bitmap manually to match the placeholder. 
I haven't tested it yet but I was already thinking about this workflow yesterday. In theory, it should work.

Another workaround would be to trace the bitmap image.

Oh, wait… :/

Which takes 2 mins to launch and prompts you to flatten the image, then automatically places your image in a warp group and crops all content to the canvas size 👏 🤯 I'm so exhausted by all the random things that happen when I use Affinity apps to accomplish a quick task.

@Megnusin, you're two years too late. :P 

  1. Pixel persona
  2. Layer → New Live Filter Layer
  3. Voilà.
  4. You're welcome.
