Photoshop - brain fade - need help or stiff drink

[GetCarter]

I 'free transformed' this text a while back (so that the 'top' of the letters are narrower than the bottom)



... can I do it now? Can I fk!

I've tried every combination of ctrl/shift/alt - and seem to be able to do everything but that.

Can anyone put me out of my misery?

TIA

Free transform, then hold Control and drag the corners.

[GetCarter]

Thanks but - No... that doesn't work.... however I just figured it out it's the ARC command (under WARP)!

Phew - It was driving me NUTS

awesome awesome photo


not sure of the keyboard short cut, but this is the way i do it in photoshops- select your thing, go up to the menu, Edit- Transform - Distort

Then you can pull in the corners to skew it as you like

hth

i would have used edit>transform>perspective?

drag in top corners

[GetCarter]

Now that's how I would do it but when I EDIT - TRANSFORM ... Perspective is greyed out

(I'm really crap at Photoshop btw)

Maybe you'd rasterised the text?

It must me an age thing!

[GetCarter]

No... not rasterised... but for MY future ref:

Select text - Right click on text - WARP - ARC UPPER - VERTICAL DISORTION

You can go off people you know.

Ha ha, i take it back then, although too much fresh air could clear the mind!

So how long did this 'on road' message take you ? And how many tea breaks ?

Would have been a major job for HRC Roads Dept. !!!

[GetCarter]

The stupid thing is - it really does say 'SLOW' there as the road used to become single track... and because it had ALWAYS said slow there, they just repainted it. If you get in your car, let it idle and take the handbrake off, you will be breaking the speed limit in 30 seconds - let alone putting it in gear and giving it some leather!

Now that's West Coast humour for you !

you have to make a selection of the thing you want to transform. best to make it a separate layer.

they it will become de-greyered.
