NBG Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 Hi, i tried to recreate this https://youtu.be/QS3PrrOHJIs?t=627 with an image - it doesn't work. So if i want to warp an album art including an image i can't do the same effect with AD?! Adalbertus 1 Quote
Staff Callum Posted November 11, 2022 Staff Posted November 11, 2022 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 C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
NBG Posted November 11, 2022 Author Posted November 11, 2022 Hi Callum, i did already but it doesn't warp the image, it just stretches the outer parts: Quote
Stepaan Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 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. Quote

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?!? 6 minutes ago, firstdefence said: Do you have Affinity Photo installed if so you can jump to Affinity Photo using File > Edit in Photo... 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 🙂 Quote
firstdefence Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 You mean like Illustrator can do?

Stepaan Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 Just now, firstdefence said: 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. Quote
Stepaan Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 Many of those new features are only half done. The same applies for embedded images layers. AP can't save images with Layer type which Publisher can handle (?!) Quote

tmarq Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 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. NBG 1 Quote

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.

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.

loukash Posted March 13 Posted March 13 @Megnusin, you're two years too late. Pixel persona Layer → New Live Filter Layer Voilà. You're welcome.

Megnusin Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Thanks for the tip @loukash🤙 I ended up just using the crop/rotate/pan/tilt feature on my iPhone 🤷♂️ Way more intuitive🫢 loukash 1 Quote
