Jeremy Bohn Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hello, As described in this thread, I'd like to see an option for the Perspective tool to work more like Photoshop's. To me, Affinity's current tool isn't really perspective, it's just a Skew tool. You can hold the shift key to constrain the movement, but maybe an option could be added so when you move in one corner, the other corner moves in the exact same way so you get actual perspective? Not sure if I'm making sense here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Bohn Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Ya, that animation is just skewing. In Photoshop, the Perspective Tool would move the opposite corner in the same amount, so it would look like your graphic is going off into the distance.

abra100pro Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Maybe my english is not good enough. I'd like to [a modifierkey-]drag on a handle to have the illustration act as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Bohn Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Okay, but I'm talking about Affinity Photo. Affinity Photo's Perspective = Photoshop's Skew. I think it's a misleading name. I'd like to be able to do actual perspective like in Photoshop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think AP Perspective tool looks exactly like the one above. What it lacks is shortening in distance: It is not skew but distort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abra100pro Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Photoshop just does it right, here: the combination of CMD/SHIFT/OPTION and drag is so versatile - Illustrator is by far not there. AD and AP could take a look at PSD, here. Intuitive and very powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
