Zoom without distortion

Post by activelive »

Hi all,

How can I zoom the image without distortion?
In photoshop it is "convert to smart object" command.
How can I do it with Paint Shop Pro?

Thanks,

Duplicate the original layer, if you have distorted too much delete the duplicate and start over.

PaintShop Pro does not have any sort of smart object as of yet. Though it has been in our wishlist so we're still hopeful.

The image will not distort until the transform has been applied however. So you can resize to your heart's content until you click off of the layer. Once you click off the layer the transform is applied and distortion sets in.

Yes it does mean we have to be careful and purposeful in our attempts to work with images but I count it only a minor annoyance.
