Distortion tool like the feature in Photoshop
Could you please add a distortion feature in Illustrator, such as the one in Photoshop, for clipping mask objects and linked images? I know that Illustrator already has one called 'envelope distort' but I find it difficult to use.

Yes, like text-only. And no not like Photoshop.

You don’t mean it to be text-only, do you?
I suppose you just want a tool that can distort anything, interactively, something similar to the way Photoshop does it? -
I know we got like the envelope distort option but like it would be easier if we could just embed it into the toolbar and you can the envelope mesh tool so please implement this into the software. Thank you

@Dubois, just to be sure — can you record a short GIF or a video demonstrating the desired workflow?
There are several ways to distort, and I can’t say the menu path you provided is something that is familiar to me (using English UI at least).Anyway, UserVoice has several entries about the poor UX for the Free Distort, both the effect (Free Distort) and the tool (Free Transform in the Free Distort mode):
1. Live Free Distort: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47631185
2. Make Free Distort work with images: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33628051
3. New Free Distort effect interface: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39689032There are more, but perhaps there is one you find fitting the idea you had?
Please comment back. -

In the Illustrator effects menu you have the function -- distortion and transformation - which does not work. While in Photoshop this one works very well for vector - (edit menu - manual transformation - transformation - distortion) can you do it - thank you
