Hi 🙂

 

I have installed the latest Photoshop-Version!

But now there is a big Problem with the new "enhanced" Warp-Tool...

 

I can't make a rounded Warping anymore!

If I try to adjust the handles, it makes a Rotation...

And I'm not able to Warp (for example) an Label with an rounding to an Cup anymore...

It's a little bit hard to describe, because my English isn't perfect 😉

 

But I have try it out, and it's definately not possible anymore like it was before...

Hi there, 

 

Sorry to hear about that. Could you please share your exact workflow with us? Are you getting any error message while using the warp tool? Which Operating system you are on now (Mac Catalina Or Windows 10) 

 

Thanks,

Mohit

Mohit,

 

This post has largely been ignored for months with no resolution hence me contacting you directly here. Please understand that literally tens of thousands of us as packaging designers use Photoshop to render mockups of designs around bottles etc. With this new warp tool, we can't use the software as it gives us no control of the grid constraints. I think I speak for many here, (despite few commenting as unlike Illustrator feedback/bugs is built directly into the help section so its hard to know how to complain - I digress) who work in packaging the tool is totally useless now.

OK - what we want is this.... 

1) Control over the beziers so we can determine how the warp conforms to the shape (like illustrator does) - at the moment you move one thing and everything moves.
2) Create some kind of virtual grid so we can see how our movements of the beziers is distorting (warping) the section.

Currently, I can't use Photoshop as a result of this new update as its totally inaccurate in how the grid warps !! Please fix it, its been months now and I'm seriously considering switching to Affinity. 

PLEASE ANSWER THIS MESSAGE SO WE HAVE SOME HOPE THIS IS GOING TO GET FIXED!!!!!!!

Scott, sorry but the new warp tool behaves 100% identically to the old one if you set it to the default mesh state. 
I'm not sure what you mean by "you move one thing and everything moves" ? I have perfect control over the mesh and can select whichever nodes i need to move and they change as i expect them to. 
I do agree though, that it would be nice if there was a definable grid overlay (like liquify) which allows you to view the mesh. But it's definitely not essential for doing packaging work. 
Compared to the old warp, this new tool is 10x better for doing packaging mock-ups. Are you sure that you've learned how to use it properly?
