I am trying to adjust the horizontal plane in the middle of a photograph so that it is truly horizontal. I want the sky line to stay the way it is. I want to adjust the shore-line in the middle of the photo so that it is truly horizontal. So, I am using the Perspective Warp tool. However, once I insert the Perspective Warp lines and hit the Enter button, nothing changes. The Warp lines disappear, and the photo does not change at all. How do I get the Warp lines to make the changes? I can't get the Perspective Warp tool to actually make any changes to the image.

Hi

Place your grid in Layout mode then , in the options bar switch to Warp mode and move the grid. Then hit enter or press the tick button.

The very non intuitive silly thing is you can actually move the handles in layout mode and the results are worthless when you switch to warp. It does nothing. You have to switch to warp before moving the handles. The UX does not make sense.

I have the same problem. And the suggested solution makes no sense.

With the layer I want to change selected, I go to Edit>Perspective Warp.

The cursor changes to the perspective warp tool, and the object I previously selected (the layer I want to warp), becomes UNselected. The options menu opens at the top. The options menu is set to "layout." The undo, cancel, and check are "available" but the other tools (the various lines, home...) are greyed out.

I place the cursor where I want the object to go and manipulate the corners until the box is the shape I want the finished layer to be. Then I hit "warp" and move the image. But it cuts off the image, like there's an invisible mask.

Did you find the fix? Same issue here, It used to work flawlessly and now it's broken since the updates

Since I updated to Version 25.9.1, Perspective Warp, Warp does not function, and the sub categories of Warp, like Split Warp Horizontally , are all ghosted. What a mistake.

Hello! I am having trouble with Perspective Warp. When I choose Edit > Perspective Warp, I do not see layout or warp modes in my options bar, so how does it work in Photoshop Version 20.08 on a mac?

It works the same way, but it looks like you have the narrow options bar enabled in preferences, so you have symbols for those functions instead of words.
