Hi guys

I have an image on a transparent background, I'd like to add perspective to it when I do [Edit > Transofrm > Persoective], but I get the following error..

"could not transform the path because the selected portion pf the path does not include any pixels"

Any ideas on what I;m doing wriong? could it be that I have an image [exported from JPEG] rather than a native shape?

Thanks for your thoughts..

I tried, Filter>Distort>Lens Correction

That kind of half works, still not the effect I'm looking for

Any ideas..

Hi woozer,

You have most likely had the color layer active rather than the vector mask layer that is equipped to the color layer active. By transforming the vector mask layer, you should see results.

By activating, you have the vector mask selected when applying your transformation (CTRL+T).
