photoshop shape distortion

Post by alex.barylski »

I've done this before, but can never remember how the f*ck I did it and now i'm driving myself nutts...

I have a couple shapes locked togather and I want to distort only one corner at a time...

So I select the move tool and mouse over the corner selection box and hold down CTRL and click the selection rectangle on the bottom right...but when I move the damn thing....the top right also moves in synch with the bottom - UNDESIRED EFFECT!!!

I want only to move the one corner at a time..????

WTF do I have to do...I have clearly messed something up in photoshop becuz I'm usre I just used CTRL before and it worked

Ideas???

Thanks in advance :)

Im pretty sure it depends on the type of layer you are trying to distort.

What happens if the layers aren't linked?

Are you rying to distort a type layer at the same time!?

Thats it... :oops:

I seem to remember distorting linked layers, but clearly I was on drugs...cuz the minute I rasterized the layers and held down CTRL...

Bingo...I distorted my image the way I wanted too :)

Thanks :)
