Frank The Tank Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 hi all, i have several images of objects such as the attached image of a blanket. as you can see, the edges of the blanket are uneven. what i would like to do, is to basically pull the edges of the blanket, so that i end up with the object being a perfect rectangle. is there a way to do this with affinity photo or even affinity designer? i didn't find anything about it in the tutorials or in this forum. appreciate your help! frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelrain Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 You could try to make the edges straight with Mesh Warp tool in Photo, you will have to add many, many control vertices. For the crease in the middle Inpaint Brush tool might work; then fix the distortions with Patch tool or Clone brush. Not sure of the quality of the output though :\ Maybe others could help you more, good luck !

Alfred Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I don't think there's any way to straighten out the entire blanket without a great deal of painstaking work, either with the Mesh Warp Tool or the tools in the Liquify Persona.

If you mean the label, you can just copy that and move it back after you straighten the blanket.

gdenby Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 While it might be done w. lots of work, given the amount of ripple in the perimeter, I suspect the mesh of the weave would end up rather distorted.

PixelPest Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Use spray adhesive on the table to layout the blanket more straight - next time. :D Cheers P. Frank The Tank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
