: Warp raster using an arbitrary polygon In Photoshop, is there a way to warp an irregular image selected area, but with controllable number of sides (let's say 8), by these boundary lines instead

@Mendez620

I discovered this method in Illustrator while doing a curved label:


Place a raster, embedded, not linked.
Convert the raster to a Symbol (F8).
Put your "arbitrary polygon" above the symbol.
Press Ctrl-Alt-C or choose the menu item Object: Envelope Distort: Make with Top Object.

I think you already know about Transform-> warp and it's not giving satisfying result.

Only similar option I remember is a Puppet warp

Quick guide:
1.Select layer
2.go to edit->Puppet warp (triangular grid will appear on the object)
3. Add several anchors to object by clicking
4. Click and drag to move the anchor and portion of object

When you exit Puppet warp tool, anchors are lost

Hope this will help.
