bernster Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 My image is a 2D rectangle or square ie 90 deg angles. I want to look at it from a different direction so that it becomes a parallelogram (all sides still parallel but now there are 2 opposite acute angles and two opposite obtuse angles). How do I do that please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Yeap! you can draw a rectangle and then use @toe_head2001's Distort This effect. It can help you but as its name implies things will be distorted and the parallelogram' s lines will not have the same thickness all around.

If it's the latter, use the shapes tool and there's a parallelogram there (remember to draw it on a New Layer) If you want to transform an existing square you could try Distort This or Quadrilateral Reshape from here Thanks for replying. Yes, I want to manipulate a square image, so that it is seen as if walking to one side and looking on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Quadrilateral Correction Reveal hidden contents Yes, It's exactly like that. I want to insert an image of a Welsh flag on a side of bag that is seen, not front-on, but from the side.

bernster Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thank you Eli and Welsh Blue. Would you mind shrinking the logo so that it occupies about 60-70% of the width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Open your bag on paint.net. Add a layer and place your flag on this layer. Use "Distort This" to adjust the flag at your will. You may want to change the layer's mode to OVERLAY if you want to have the bag's texture on your flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 You might try my (beta) Perspective Transformation plugin. I need to finish that thing and release it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
