AFPhoto Mac & Win : Mesh warp tool

[catlover]

I have 2 Feature Requests about the mesh warp tool:

I am trying to wRap (not waRp) a picture around a perspective box shape, using the mesh warp tool.

Faux perspective, so to speak.

I could not get the result I wanted by using the perspective tool, because it does not allow for additional nodes.

I created some additional nodes with the mesh warp tool in order to get the perspective (mainly the top) correct. So far, so good.

Until I exited the tool in order to to take a peek at the intermediate result. Not satisfied with how it looked,

I selected the wrap tool again so as to perform some tweaking.....all the extra nodes were gone.

Makes sense, because you exit the tool. Hence my (tentative) feature requests :

Feature Request 1 Mesh Warp : Create a way to "intermediately save" additional nodes ?

Also, there does not seems to be a way to constrain the movement of the node handles

It would be nice to have a short cut key to do just that.

Feature request 2 Mesh Warp : Create a way to constrain the handles ?

Thank you for reading this. C.L.

For some reason, I can't view that reaction.

This has happened before, I can't figure out why. Please help.

Until now, yours was the only reply to your original post, but @276ccm has ‘liked’ it. It’s also possible that someone ‘liked’ or otherwise ‘reacted’ to your post, and then quickly (but not quickly enough) withdrew that reaction.

Looking at that post in a web browser, I see the reaction(s) on the lower right side, on about the same line as the Quote button:

@ Alfred : & Walt.farrell : Thanks both. 

I guess that's what happened : a "reaction" doesn't necessarily mean a reply.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It was only me liking your input about the mesh tool! :-) I could have said +1 too :-)

Hi catlover,
The Mesh Warp Tool doesn't have an equivalent live filter as the Perspective Tool which keeps the mesh/distortion intact/editable. Maybe the dev team consider it for a future update. Good suggestion for the node's handles. Would be quite useful to have more control here. Thanks for your feedback.
