Ability To Use The Mesh Warp Tool On Multiple Layers

[- S -]

Currently it only seems possible to use the Mesh Warp Tool on a single layer at a time, therefore this feature request is for the ability to use it on multiple layers selected in the layers panel at the same time. 

With other tools, E.G. making a selection around a part of an image and then using the Move Tool, it works on all the selected layers and still keeps the individual layers separate.  The Perspective Tool also works like this, as does the Liquify Persona.  The Mesh Warp Tool however doesn't.  For example:

With all layers selected, the Mesh Warp Tool will only work on one of the layers:

 

If you group the layers first, then the Mesh Warp Tool will work on all the layers, however doing so means the layers get rasterised into a single layer, which is a no go.  In addition, it's no use if layers you want to alter are already organised in various different groups:

 

Perspective Tool works OK:

 

Selections work OK:

 

Liquify Persona works OK:

+1 I need this on a job right now and I just realized it doesn't work.

For a workaround you can you can 'Merge visible' the layers you want to warp. That creats a copy of these layes and you can always go back and make changes and merge again. Not perfect but it should do the job.

I understand it's an old post but maybe someone will come here searching for the solution and I thought it might have been nice to write it down for you.

You actually can warp multiple layers now with the live filters: live filters-> distort-> mesh warp
