Transform Tools
The primary purpose of transform tools is to change how an image or a specific component of an image appears. Let’s
understand some of the commonly used transform tools included in the toolbox:
Ð ÐMove: Moves selections and layers.
Ð ÐAlign: Arranges layers and/or other objects by aligning them.
Ð ÐCrop: Resizes the image by cropping it.
Ð ÐRotate: Rotates the currently selected layer, path, or selection.
Ð ÐScale: The active layer, selection, or path is scaled by the Scale command.
Ð ÐShear: Moves a portion of an image to a different position.
Ð ÐPerspective: Modifies the active layer’s, selection’s, or path’s perspective.
Ð ÐFlip: Flips selections and layers.
Ð ÐUnified Transform: Combines perspective, skewing, scaling, and rotation
Ð ÐHandle Transform: It is utilised for adjusting scaling.
