Fist of the mighty Bob Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Is it possible to do perspective warping like seen here in the video ? I once was under the impression Affinity Photo offers this but testing the windows beta I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Staff TonyB Posted November 12, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 12, 2016 Filters->Distort->Perspective... should provide what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of the mighty Bob Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Hopefully I'm doing something wrong but I think Affinity Photo has not the power yet to do the same. Warning, weak English incoming... In Photoshop you can fold surfaces around corners, surfaces that had, say, 90 degrees between them may have 0 after using the perspective warp tool. It's not the 08/15 perspective tool basically every program has. I think you guys have the technology already there "under the hood" (Sort of a 3D Engine) but the bending is quite different. Most notoably I'm not able to select the "middle points" between the two surfaces. Please see the attached pictures, they can better describe what I mean.

Staff TonyB Posted November 13, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 13, 2016 You can use the Mesh Warp tool to achieve a similar result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of the mighty Bob Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Thank you for your replies Top Cat. Mesh Warp tool seems to be spline based and is more about warping than folding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJack Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I did this using the Dual Plane option in the Perspective Tool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of the mighty Bob Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Thanks for chiming in JimmyJack, your post motivated me to try the perspective tool again. I thought I was not able to move the planes without distorting but it's possible by switching to source mode. Overall I think the Adobe version is better tho, because you can freely add planes. But I'm quite happy about this feature from Affinity. If I could only work with indexed pallettes I could probably show Adobe the finger.
