PsPPhotoX2: Jagged distortion problem - seeking help

[Mike A]

Hi All,
I'm an experienced digital imager - but absolute PSP newby.
I'm trying to help someone out who has PsP Photo X2. I've downloaded the demo.

the task at hand is to simply distort and place a logo on a flat box.

I copied the logo onto a new layer, above my base image, selected the pick tool and Ctrl Shift dragged the corner points of the logo to match the required perspective of the box.

The problem: the logo is now horribly aliased (jagged) - it almost looks like a preview.

Have I missed a step, or am I approaching this the wrong way?

Is your logo image maybe to small or very low resolution to the point where it is being stretched severely when attempting to adjust the perspective angle. Also is this new layer a raster or a vector?

Where did you download the demo of PSP X2, because currently the only demo that you can download via Corel.com is the PSP X5. Anyway, it looks like that the resolution of the logo is much lower than your base image, so when you "selected the pick tool and Ctrl Shift dragged the corner points" the image became jagged. What you can do is to try and look for a hi-resolution version of that logo.
