DonKC Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 All I want to do is to grab/select and individually, without moving other points, move the corners of a distorted image to recreate the non-distorted image. I know how to do this in about 5 other pixel programs within seconds but after a half hour of searching I cannot seem to find out how to do this with Affinity Photo. I've tried using the Perspective Tool, Mesh Tool and that's a mess. So, what's the secret on how to do this with Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSG Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I just used the perspective tool - is this what you were trying to achieve? Dan C and DonKC 2 Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi DonKC, Welcome to the forums The Perspective tool in Affinity Photo is the tool I'd personally choose to transform this image, I've created a quick video of this below- Perspective tool.mp4 Are you looking for a different result?

DonKC Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 IanSG, Dan C Yes, I tried that (but I set the Perspective Tool to Source which fit better to what I expected), but for whatever reason the photo's proportions were stretched vertically, which then caused me to use the Move tool using the center top point to "scrunch" the image vertically, and that then exposed the white border, which then caused me to use the Crop tool (and then I changed Levels and a BW adjustment). I would prefer adjusting a selection using four corners to distort the image back to its origins as I manipulated and adjusting the vertical elongation at the same time. For the very few times I have to do this, this will work (and I was totally misled by the user documentation). Thanks for your responses!

BTW, is that a Framus guitar? Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonKC Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Framus guitar? LOL I bought it at Woolworths for ~$50 and a no name as far as I know. So, SG is Gibson SG, right? Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, SG is Gibson SG, right? Well, at least the action was low enough for you to play barre chords . Yes, the Gibson SG (Solid Body) - Gibson's best selling guitar!
