Warp

With this node you can map cells of a source grid to cells of a destination grid thus digitally manipulating artwork to fit printing substrates that have (or in the printing process take) a shape that is different from the artwork's original shape.

Attention: License required

Warping (except for Conical Warp) and 3D requires an extra license key. Please contact the Sales Representative for your region. For some 3D applications an IC3D license is needed.

It has the following configuration options:

Input File: here you can select the input file. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder. The default is set to use the full file URL from the previous node.
Layer Names to Warp: here you can specify one or more layers to warp. You can separate several layer names with a comma. The layer names can be specified with a wild card. For example, if you put Layer*, all layers starting with the word Layer will be selected.
Image Resolution: here you can specify the resolution to use for the images that are warped. Options:
- Keep original objects: if you select this option, the original artwork will be kept after warping.
- Allow distortion: if you select this option, the file will be printed with possible distortion applied, but only to objects.
  Objects will be moved to the destination grid on the corresponding position and rotated accordingly to the shape of that position of the destination grid, without distorting the artwork itself.
- Reverse Warp: if you select this option, it allows warping the selection from the destination grid back to the source grid.

Output: here you can select the output type. Options:
- Postfix: if you select this option, you can define a postfix that will be added to the newly generated file. The new file will be placed on the same location as the original file.
- Custom: if you select this option, you can specify a path where the new file will be placed and a postfix that will be added to the new file. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.
