Valen Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Is there a method for Deforming an object or selection? Like, I know you can stretch and such, but is there anyway to skew or pull out a single point? It's been a while since I used photoshop (since back when I had a student version), but I think I did something like this there. A simple example of what I mean is if I had a circle, and I wanted to pull out the top right corner so now it's more of a pointer with a rounded bottom left. And if this isn't in, is there a way for me to make this into a plugin? From what I've noticed on the effects plugins, they never seem to use any GUI elements, only dialogue boxes (although I admit I haven't looked at the API yet, I'm a C++ guy so C# is a bit daunting). Thanks for any info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickman Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Use the Rotate/Zoom tool in the layers tab. You can rotate, zoom and skew any object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illnab1024 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 There is no current implementation for transfromation, and I do not believe this could be implemented (well) into an effect with the API structured as it is. Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valen Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks! I tried the method in post one, and it wasn't giving me nearly the effect I was looking for. Never knew about that tool before though, so nice to have it! Thanks for letting me know about the API stuff too, I appreciate the help!

darkfader Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I found it extremely difficult to match up two screened layers at all 4 points in the image. It would be really helpful if it could be done like this: (edit: the upper-right point is incorrect but you'll get the point) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 whenver I have to line up layers I just adjust the transparency so I can see all the layers at the same time.

darkfader Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 That's what I did. But even then it's difficult because when you change one parameter, all four points will move. So that's why my idea was to remember the last 3 points. It requires only a little bit of math. Hmm... I think the current method can't even get it correct in one time since it only pans after the rotationshit and not before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
