# Have been tarting about with the curves in PSPX2


larger here along with some others

No need to post the pic other than I can ask a question without getting incinerated by flames-

I used to have an excellent program that was Windows 95 age which would let you post a bitmap onto a surface and then fuck about in 3d with angle, zoom, orientation of the surface and then render that bitmap to the surface in fairly hi-res. Alas the fucker no longer works with anything XP or newer- is their another prog (preferably free) that I could download to do the same thing? Thanks.

# I'm a little lost as to what you asking here mate
can't you tweak this in Photoshop to the same effect?

# surely a modern photoshop can do it?
Even the GIMP can, it's called Perspective Tool. Unless I'm reading you completely wrong here.

# I have a perspective tool in PSP X2
but it's not got a real-time interface, you have to type in numbers until it looks right etc etc whereas I used to be able to waggle it with the mouse...

# oh that seems a bit of an omission.
in GIMP you just drag the corners around.

# Can't you fiddle around with 'compatibility modes' and things like that?
As for free substitute programs, I dunno, sorry.
