Ask, Help About Pixels to Curve

[Taufiq G]

Anyone know how to make the photo.jpg (pixel) to become a cover book ?
The node tool is can be used by shape, but i don't know why pixel can't use node tool convert to curve.
Thankyou very much

also it's can not be done by transform tools (S*) because there is a space in the book

Afaik, this is not possible in designer, you have to use photo for this.

Hi Taufiq G,

Welcome to the forums

If you wish to create a Curve object with an image, this can be done using the Fill Tool. Create a quick shape or draw a Curve, then select the Fill Tool and change the Type in the context toolbar to Bitmap. This will open an Explorer window where you can select an image and then control it's Extend, Quality and Aspect Ratio Lock on the same context toolbar. 

This object should now be curves, full manipulatable using the node tool, but be 'filled' with your image. I'm not certain if this will create the desired effect in your document, as dutchshader has mentioned the perspective tools are found in Affinity Photo and not Designer.

If you haven't yet tried it, you can download and install the 10 day free trial of Affinity Photo, open your .afdesign file in the app and use the perspective tools, then save the file and re-open it in Designer. I hope this helps!
