[Aph] Can't use Mesh Warp tool on more than 1 layer?

[Alex_M]

Is this possible to do in Photo? I tried but it doesn't seem to work. It always affects only one of the selected layers. None of the other layers are locked and all are rasterized and it still doesn't work. On the other hand, Perspective tool works fine on more than 1 layer. Is this a bug? Any workaround for this? I need to deform more than 1 layer but preserve them as separate at the same time. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

No, I previously posted a feature request at the following link though:

Ability To Use The Mesh Warp Tool On Multiple Layers

So no other way to go about this except merging the layers? That kind of sucks. I hope it gets implemented soon.

You can record a simple Macro (one command) to warp one object then replay the macro on the other objects you want to warp.

Identical objects will warp identically

Similar objects will warp proportionally

All objects will be rasterised but remain as individual objects

Very clever! I never would have thought of doing that but it works. A pity though that you still have to apply the macro one at a time to each pixel layer.
