  2. In the Orientation pane, select the desired orientation (2). Click on the radio button of your choice.
  3. In the Bow - Angle/Length pane (3):

    • Change the angle of the bow adjustment. This will determine the curve of the bow.
    • Change the length (position of the handle compared to the corner point). By changing the length, the lowest point in the bow will move further or closer to the corner point.
  4. Repeat for the other orientation and corners until the warping is finished.
