I would love it if anyone can help me out please...Thanks in advance to you master skinners out there! ..I have already pulled my hair out...:( lol
drPhibes Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 If you're using Photoshop you can use the "free transform->skew" tool on the text layer.
uscstaylor Posted October 6, 2016 Author Posted October 6, 2016 I use paint shop pro. Does that have a tool as well...?
drPhibes Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 According to google there is a deform tool in PSP, which at least sounds like it might do some of the same things as free transform in PS. Other than that I have no idea. I haven't used PSP in 17-18 years, and my memory is a little rusty.
uscstaylor Posted October 6, 2016 Author Posted October 6, 2016 Nope it doesn't. I cant figure this out and its driving me crazy...
GeorgeLKMT Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Select the object, press Ctrl+T, right click, skew. Alternatively, Edit->Transform->Skew. Edited October 6, 2016 by GeorgeLKMT ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■
uscstaylor Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Hey Guys I found the Skew Key command in PSP. After you have made a new raster layer you type the number you want then select the "Selection Tool" and on the top tool bar under the "Effects Tab" is the Geometric Tab then the Skew key is in there. The Skew numbers I was looking for were -4 and -31, this made the numbers a perfect match for the F-18 Skin. Man what a relief. I gotta tell ya it was a pain in the arse...lol Thanks guys for all the help and suggestions. BIG SALUTE! Edited October 7, 2016 by uscstaylor
