Aaah thanks so much Alfred. I was going round in circles trying to find this.

I’m glad I was able to help, Lillias!

It's great to have this source of help available since the original Serif forum shut down.

At least the official forums have been retained as read-only, at least for the time being (unlike CommunityPlus and DaisyTrail, both of which had valuable content that was discarded when they closed).

Welcome, Lillias! It’s good to see you here.

The Mesh Warp Tool is available by default in the Pixel Studio, but you can add it (via ‘View > Tools > Customize’) to other Studios.

The Mesh Warp filters are accessed from the Pixel menu, either via ‘Pixel > New Live Filter Layer > Distort’ for the live filter or via ‘Pixel > Filters > Distort’ for the destructive version. In each case the Mesh Warp option is at or near the bottom of the Distort submenu.

In the new Affinity Studio what has happened to the mesh warp tool. It has gone from where it was in AD2.
And the options that were available when clicking on the mesh warp tool in AD2 like Mesh, Quad, Perspective, Arc Vertical, Arc Horizontal. Fish Eye etc; have also gone – or perhaps I am just not looking in the right place!
Thanks in advance for any help given.
