Perspective filter (still) not very stable


Recommended Posts

My experience with the Affinity Photo Perspective Filter (both live and regular) has always been so so. Often it does the desired job (and often it doesn't), but you always have to be careful in the way you use the tool.

For instance:

  • In versions prior to 1.7, i was only successful in applying a perspective when the deformation happened within the rectangle of the original. As soon as i enlarged it a little bit i got bad results (truncation of the deformed layer).
  • Applying additional effects to the deformed image, like an inner shadow, also gave bad results quite often, again truncations.

It looks like 1.7 produced better results when applying the perspective. I have been able to deform and enlarge at the same time. However, when applying an inner shadow it still behaves badly. I've added an example which shows that the inner shadow is applied, but only to the section within the original rectangle.

Would be nice if the developers could make these filters rock solid.
