Thanks for responding. No, neither of those work. I need it to work like stretch/skew in msn paint, only a little more advanced so as to put in a fraction of an integer like 25.5 on the vertical. And "quad" is a seperate box, that first of all even if you select by inverting the object you want to skew, only does so by moving the frame that the object is in, leaves the original image, and if you go beyond that, it cuts it off.
Thanks anyway, still hoping...
