• Anchor Points: Static points placed around the border to pin the frame in-place (YELLOW).
• Control Point: Dynamic point used to either pin an area in-place or expanded to Deform Points (BLUE).
• Deform Points: Dynamic points used to either deform an area or reset to a Control Point (GREEN connecting RED).

• Points are calculated relative to the original image, which is why it can be more accurate to add Control Points before executing a deformation.
• Alternately, you can switch to the original image to place Control Points, but it's not required.
• Control Points and Deform Points can be selected, moved, and deleted.
• Adjusting the grid size will directly affect the deformation algorithms, modifying the deformation.
