Hello

I'm trying to do something like this :

I really can't get it to happen the way I did it for the last 10 years. I know there have been changes on the transform tool, that you have to hold ctrl or ctrl + shift to do the opposite of what we could do until now, I tried everything I just can't. I do Ctrl + T then right click > distort, then I can hold ctrl, ctrl + shift, just shift, or nothing, I can't get it to work. I have read some topics on it here but I can't make it happen sorry ...

I'm trying do put my "clean" drawing (100 % black) in the perspective of the drawing underneath (more or less). I tried Ctr + T > perspective too but I can't make it happen.

Do you have any ideas ?

I think there may be a basic misconception here, did you create the clean drawing as that parallelogram?

If so you may have to recreate it properly with vertical and horizontal borders, then the transform points should correcpond to the »corner« points.

Well, I would be suspicious of anyone who claims never to have made mistakes …

I recommend you convert the illustration to a Smart Object before transforming it, so you can adjust the transformation later on (if necessary) without accumulating resampling effects.

Please convert the untransformed illustration to a Smart Object and try Edit > Free Transform again.

Have you tried Photoshop > Preferences > General > Use Legacy Free Transform?

I dint know this one thanks for the lesson. But even if I do this, when I take one corner and move it, the other corners are moving too, even if I hold down ctrl ...
