So, now that’s understood, back to the Symmetry tab! You’ll see you can change the guideline colour (using the slider at the top), and adjust the ‘Thickness’ and ‘Opacity’ using the sliders at the bottom. When complete, you return to the canvas to draw using your guidelines or symmetry set up. You don’t actually draw on the canvas in this mode. Something to understand before going further – this screen mode is to edit your guidelines set up only.

There are several assisted guide tabs here and you’ll see Symmetry at the far right. You will then enter the editing guide screen. Then tap on ‘Edit Drawing Guide’ just below it.

To access the symmetry options, tap on the spanner icon in your top toolbar to access your Actions Panel and select the ‘Canvas’ tab. Stay tuned, I’m working a new kit to make special use of this awesome new feature. Go out and make another action, and you won’t be able to use that button (though you can still undo). Like in Liquify, this will only reset while you are still within the filter itself. Within the Warp settings, tap the ‘Advanced Mesh’ to bring up 16 individual nodes, giving you a much finer control.Īll transform actions can be undone by choosing the ‘Reset’ option. You are able to fold and curve shapes or layers around on themselves. The warp effect itself can be used in Freeform and Distort transform modes, giving you adjustable nodes that controlling different areas of the object. You’ll be familiar with Freeform, though the button actions have been redesigned to be a lot clearer (flip horizontal, flip vertical etc) and you can now ‘fit to screen’. You’ll see three tab settings : Freeform, Distort and Warp.

When you select the arrow icon in the top menu bar, the transform options appear at the bottom of your screen.
