Hi

when you select the warp tool etc you get in the tools options bar a square made of nine dots and you can select one.

I thought it selected an anchor point but it appears not.

Can someone tell me the correct name for this "square" so I can search the help files and web

thanks

Ian

There is no warp tool in photoshop;) That box is to control the origin of the transformation but it doesn’t work when your warping, that’s just a leftover from the transform commands option bar options

Ah ha that explains why I couldn’t see any effect.

Ok question the second. 😉

If I create a rectangle and then select image transform warp the bounding box changes dividing the rectangle into nine boxes.

I want to warp just the six boxes to the left but leave the three on the right untouched. Is there a way to lock these boxes?

thanks

Warp using a selection.

I don’t think so, but you could just select a smaller area to begin with, one that is only 2/3 the size of what you originally selected.
