awakenedbyowls Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I can see how to do this, only nothing is happening (to the pixels) I can see the object/boundary box warping, but the pixel content inside remains the same. Same happens with images layers. Maybe I'm not doing it right but I'm wondering right now: What is the point in this feature if it only seems to change the shape of the object? I can just change the shape of the object with the node tool then Just trying to take a pixel layer on a road that disappears into the horizon and apply a grainy effect and then warp it into the shape of the road so the textures on the road get smaller the farther back into the horizon the road goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The Warp Group functionality in Designer doesn’t currently affect Pixel/Image layers. It has been mentioned elsewhere in the forums that Serif would like this to be extended to include bitmap layers at some point in the future. If you need to warp a bitmap layer then you need to use Photo. Note: The Warp Group is non-destructive, whereas using the Node Tool is destructive, and it would take a lot of time to do, for example, a perspective warp of text with just the Node Tool.

Am I missing something here or just failing to see what the point in the Mesh Tool on Designer 2 actually is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The Warp Group functionality lets you warp vector objects, such as shapes, curves and text, non-destructively. You can also Warp a Warp Group to make more complex designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Editing in Photo then either copy/pasting to Designer or File>Edit in Designer - gave no change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
