JoeFine Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Greetings. I know there must be an easy way to Skew a 2D image? I have a background image of a TV studio... with placeholders for monitor screens. These screen are on various angles - I need to position a 2D TV monitor image into these positions. Any help would be new year fantastic. Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NilsFinken Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Easier than you think: Place the cursor just outside one of the anchor points of the image until the two arrows show. You can skew vertically or horizontally. Quote Lenovo laptop with Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, Windows 10 Home.

PixelPest Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I doubt skewing will do 100% when it´s a real photograph - most likely you need the perspective tool from Affinity photo for that goal. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelPest Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 A rendered image from an orthographic camera will work with skewed images. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NilsFinken Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 A photograph (jpg, 6.5 MB) skews beautifully in Designer, but you are right that it does not add or allow for proper perspective in Affinity Designer. Only Photo offers that. Quote Lenovo laptop with Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, Windows 10 Home.

JoeFine Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks for the replies, most appreciated. But none of them did what I wanted. I did however find the R: & S: options in the bottom of the Transform panel... that seems to do most of what I need. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 R&S just rotate+skew the image there´s no perspective involved. Just curious. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like JoeFine mentioned, it's the S option in the bottom of the Transform panel at the bottom right of your screen, in the affinity designer app. S is for Shear.
