Today we are going to have a look at 4 different applications of Perspective Tools in Affinity Photo. You can use them in a wide variety of ways, not just for perspective correction, but also to create new compositions or put new things into your photos. Make photos more dramatic or bring back the zen of a easy situation. So many possibilities.

carl123 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hi Nice and clear video but I believe you are mistaken when you are demonstrating the Live Perspective Projection You effectively say ... "You cant use any other layers and you can't put text on the projection" In reality, you simply add these layers as normal then use the Merge Down command to merge them into the Background layer This video will show you how he merges down an image layer at around the 5:04 mark You just do the same for Text Layers or other layers you create nicolasfolliot 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Multi4G Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Oh, wow, that is why that didn't work for me. I used "Merge visible" instead of "Merge down". That said, the "live Projection" is not really any more useful than using a single plane perspective tool and doesn't really have any "live" features to it, like the smart Layers in Photoshop. So i am still pretty disappointed by what it can do. Still thank you for telling me. I will make a Video about that functionality asap.

carl123 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 If you use Layer > New Live Filter Layer > Perspective Filter, rather than the Perspective Tool you will find that Text etc does not get rasterised and remains editable at all time. By using the Perspective Filter it is also easy to readjust the perspective should you need to do that at anytime You may find that useful information for your next video.

carl123 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Sure, this one is my favourite use for the Live Perspective Filter If you use an embedded AP document as the object you want to apply the Perspective Filter to, you get the option to Edit the embedded document which will give you the original flat document to work with. If you have 2 screens (or display both documents on the one screen) you can see the Perspective image change in "real time" as you update the (flat) embedded document.

Multi4G Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm experimenting with the live perspective filter and text right now and it does some very strange things. This text is not rasterized, yet you can clearly see pixelelation. Also, unless i put it into a group is a vector rectangle that is the full size of my image, the text will be cut off at the edge of the "box" that it out around the original text (not a text box, just the "movers"). Pretty strange. Not sure if i am missing something here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hard to be certain with the images you have supplied but there is currently a bug with the Live Perspective Filter which distorts the image and you may be encountering that. You can work around it but it's tricky and currently takes a bit of playing around to get it to work as required. Development are aware but no time frame at the moment for when it will be fixed. PS Working at 100% zoom helps a lot when trying to work around the bug Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

MCFC_4Heatons Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 why is there not a simple perspective tool for quickly creating symetrical perspective like the option in Photoshop > Transform > Perspective .... These solutions seem to make simple tasks much harder and more time consuming or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hart Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I consistently need to correct perspective of photos of a rectangular object which isn't on a copy stand, so the camera sensor plane and the planar object are never perfectly aligned. Coming from years of Photoshop use, I have the same request: a perspective tool that works like Photoshop's Perspective Crop. With that tool, you set the four corners of the tool to the four corners of the image and hit crop. There's no step 2. Using Layer > New Live Filter Layer > Distort > Perspective > Source lets me drag the grid to the corners of the image, and seems like it should work as above. But when I use that, I get a distortion of the image, changing its aspect ratio to make it wider. Layer > New Live Filter Layer > Distort > Perspective > Destination (the default) works fine, with no distortion, but requires a little more work and finesse: 1. Switch to move tool (arrow) 2. Pull four guidelines from rulers set to the four outermost corners of the distorted image. 3. Layer > New Live Filter Layer > Distort > Perspective 4. Move four corners of the perspective grid away from the image until the image aligns with the guidelines. 5. Hit Return 6. Crop to the new borders of the image.

Bernd Woick Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The grid must not warp with the photo when moving the points. It has to stay at a right angle, otherwise you can not judge the effect. Is there a switchover option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
