I’m not quite sure how to accurately explain what I’m trying to do, but here we go. Suppose that I have a rectangular shape that I want to squish or stretch, or warp to perspective. It’s a very easy thing to do to a high degree of accuracy by simply selecting the whole thing and using the free tran…

Not sure but I think a transformation mask is none destructive, try this istead. The transform tool does not know that something was already transformed and therefore always starts from the beginning as it was just a new thing to transform.

I’m pretty sure I’m going to misunderstand something here, but if I recall corectly, the box is as big as your selection, so you can get a smaller one by either tracing a smaller selection or by going in the selection menu and using the ‘select opaque’ option. If what you want to do is have a box t…

It’s called the ‘content bounding box’ or ‘bounding box’ and it encloses the full left-right and top-bottom content of the image being transformed. The Move tool has a similar bounding box but with no control handles.

[image] F035: If what you want to do is have a box that matches the angle of your figure, I don’t think that’s possible. To the program, it’s just a bunch of pixels, unless they’re very primitive shapes like lines and waves or something. Then they could theoretically be identified, but it’d be l…

As mentioned earlier this can be done when using a transformation mask instead of the transformation tool. [image] Transform Masks How to use transformation masks in Krita.

Would you mind explaining step by step what you mean?

Most people when they want to transform something they use just the transform tool. Usually they take the layer or a selection, activate the tool with ctrl + t or by clicking the button, then they configure their transformation and than apply it. What this does in detail is that it takes all the pi…

Okay, I understand the principles and the use of a transform layer, but I don’t think it really solves my problem. Suppose I have this picture [example 1] it’s the original image, as it manifested from the primordial ooze, and no un-rotated versions of it exist. What I need to do is stretch the…

[image] Michos: Whether I use the transform tool on the paint layer, or on a transform mask - the bounding box is always gonna be rectangular. Yes because the layer itself is rectangular and the transform tool is not aware of the content other than where some color is. In your case you would…
