: How can I envelope distort a circle into a polygon? I have square layer, containing a circular image surrounded by white, and I need to envelope distort just the circle into a polygon shape.

@Kaufman565

It always distorts the (square) bounding box, rather than the underlying shape (circle).

For precision envelope distorts of non-rectangular shapes - which are almost always a lot more complex in reality than it seems they "should" be when you imagine them - it's usually best to use a mesh then sculpt them into shape by hand by pulling parts of the mesh around:



Tip for symmetrical editing of mesh corners: grab opposite corners all at once, hit s to switch to the Scale tool, hold shift and drag to pull or push them all the same distance from the centre.
