Select an item to transform
Do one of the following:
To transform an entire layer, make the layer active, and make sure nothing is selected.
You cannot transform the background layer. To transform it, first convert it to a regular layer.
To transform part of a layer, select the layer in the Layers panel, and then select part of the image on that layer.
To transform multiple layers, do either of the following in the Layers panel: link the layers together, or select multiple layers by Ctrl-
clicking (Windows) or Command-clicking (Mac OS) more than one layer. In the Layers panel, you can also Shift-click to select
continguous layers. (See
Selecting, grouping, and linking layers .)
To transform a layer mask or a vector mask, unlink the mask and select the mask thumbnail in the Layers panel.
To transform a path or vector shape, use the Path Selection tool to select the entire path or the Direct Selection tool to select part of
the path. If you select one or more points on a path, only those path segments connected to the points are transformed. (See
Select a
path .)
To transform a selection border, make or load a selection. Then choose Select > Transform Selection.
To transform an alpha channel, select the channel in the Channels panel.
