free transform tool / image to perspective?

[aeon.flux]

Hi guys,

i'm using ubuntu for over a month, especially the graphics programs such as Gimp and Inkscape. They're great, but there's a one thing that i can't do and I really need.

Adobe Photoshop calls it "free transform tool" and CorelDraw calls it "add perspective". The point is that you can add to a picture 3D effect that deforms it, so it looks like 3D. It's not just scew or cut. For example in CorelDraw you can move every corner of a picture to place it anywhere, so the picture automatically deforms itself to looks exactly like 3D.

So example i want to change a picture on the side of this cube so it looks like it was really there.

I was searching for tool like this whole weeks so I decided to ask here.

Thanks a lot

I think I didn't understand exactly what you're looking for. Why is the "perspective" tool in GIMP not enough?

the perspective tool in gimp doesn't work at the moment. (doesnt respond to dragging the pictures corners)

it is possible with the method desribed in the article above.



But you have to put 'preview' to 'grid' in the perspective tool
not to 'image'. If set to 'image', the tool becomes so slow that
it effectivly doesn't work anymore. (at least on my computer)
