New larger Free Distort effect interface
We really need a global, accurate transform and distort window in the application. It needs more detail, the ability to recall the last applied action and interaction with bitmaps. This is a feature people have been asking for nearly 20 years - I've even designed it for you! Can you build it now?

The preview is too small!

Hello. I’ve inquired about this in the past. The free distort tool is an amazing tool. The problem is the preview it offers is often way too small! It’s too hard to adjust often if you want to adjust it a tiny amount. It’s been years and this has not been improved. Can’t you please make this preview twice the size?
Thanks and please let me know. -

Hello. For YEARS I've been using the Distort & Transform > Free Distort tool and for years I've wondered why is the preview so small??? It's a very useful tool but so difficult to use if you want to move the anchor points a small distance. For the life of me I don't know why this hasn't been improved over the years. I'm attaching my suggestion.
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Yeah, this dialog is a shame.
Perhaps you might want to try Stylism by Astute Graphics, which gives this effect nice on-canvas controls. Sure, you won’t be able to make smooth points, like you show in the mockup, but worth trying.
For anything more complex than a four straight point we have Envelope Distort and free MeshTormentor plugin to make custom meshes with an ease.

Meanwhile there is a Stylism plugin form AstuteGraphics that gives so much to this effect! Including all types of snap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1PcomIcl3Q

The free distort option can have more controls in terms of snapping, or pixels? Basically, a little more control would give a great output. Right now I have to keep doing trial and error every time WITHOUT preview to reach the final output.
