Help on distort

Hello

 

I'm trying to do something like this : 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUOPmiDUlXQ

 

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.

What is the »clean drawing«? A vector Smart Object? 

Could you please post a screenshot taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible?

Did you not convert the clean drawing to a Smart Object before transforming it? 

 

Does the screenshot show the state after cmd-T? 

Could the Layer contain off-canvas content? 

Is the composite channel selected?

If I convert the drawing to a smart object I still have the same problem.

 

The screen shot show the state before cmd-T. I'll post a video of it.

No there is no off-canvas content (good idea thought), when I do Ctrl + T everything looks inside the canvas.

Yes all channels are selected.

 

Here is the video. I can hold cmd or not after distort, the three points : A, B, C are moving together when I only want one (here, B) to move like before.

What is the »distort« supposed to achieve? 

Once the Free Transform is invoked, one can cmd-drag the four corner points independently.

I want to move the four corner points independantly like here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUOPmiDUlXQ

 

When Ctrl + T > Right click > distort and I dont hold anything, three of the four corners move together on the two axis (x;y)

When I hod cmd it changes nothing ... I can post a video if it helps.

Not sure what you mean. 

As in the video the transformed Layer doesn’t even seem to be a Smart Object I would not consider it recommendable to begin with.

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

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.
