s5b Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I can't seem to find the warp tool in the user interface for Affinity Designer v2.2.0 on macOS (Ventura 13.5.2). I'm sure I've used it before, but now I can't find the tool in the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen. I have the "Designer Persona" selected. I have an image element selected, and I'm sure that I've warped these kind of things before without resorting to the "Pixel persona". Am I going mad? (Madder?) All assistance greatly appreciated. Cheers, S t u a r t . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) If you mean the vector Warp Group functionality, that’s available via either the Layer menu or as an icon in the Layers Panel (when in the Designer Persona). The pixel/image warp functionality of Photo is not available as a Tool in Designer, in any Persona. Edit: But, as stated below, the raster Warp functionality is available via a Live Filter in the Pixel Persona of Designer, rather than as a Tool on the Toolbar like it is in Photo. (Underlining above added as part of edit.) Edited October 9, 2023 by GarryP Added clarification. s5b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Garry mentions, the Vector Warp functionality in Designer can be found under Layer > Warp - you can find out more about this functionality here: Warping Objects 3 hours ago, GarryP said: The pixel/image warp functionality of Photo is not available as a Tool in Designer, in any Persona. The above is not true however, as Affinity Designer version 2.1 added this functionality through the Pixel Persona, under Layer > New Live Filter Layer. You can now find both Perspective & Mesh Warp Filter layers for warping Pixel content in Designer under this menu, which is covered further below: Live Mesh Warp I hope this helps s5b and GarryP 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 46 minutes ago, Dan C said: The above is not true however Being a bit picky, I think it was true, as written – i.e. “not available as a Tool” (the OP asked about a “tool in the toolbar”) – but I did forget to mention that the functionality was available via the Live Filter menu, which slipped my mind at the time, so thanks for pointing that out. I’ve edited my earlier post to make that clearer in case anyone stopped reading at that point. Dan C and s5b 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
