### 7.8.29 Shape Tools/Distort With Arrows

This function allows you to distort an image.

You control the distortion with small arrows. You create the arrows by clicking and dragging in the left picture. Only clicking creates fix points. This ensures that a point has the same position in the result. The right picture is a preview.

By clicking on an existing arrow it is selected and can be edited. Selected arrows can be deleted with delete, too.

The color field controls the color of the arrows.

Reset deletes all arrows.

Distort With Arrows can create an animation. The Steps text field contains the number of animation steps. If Steps contains a value larger than one, pressing OK will create a layer for each step. You can view the result with Web/Animate Layers and save the result as animated GIF.

If Steps is less or equal to one, the active layer will be replaced by the result.
