Learn how to scale, skew, distort, and apply perspective when working with Photoshop on the iPad.
Transform is one of the basic tools in Photoshop and lets you easily modify your document by performing scale, skew, perspective, distort, rotate, and horizontal/vertical flip transformation operations.
Read on to learn how to transform your document just the way you want!
You can now simply apply your transformations to the selected object.
You can apply transform operations to an active layer, or a selection.
Tap from the toolbar to select the Transform tool.
In the Transform mode, do any of the following:
Simply drag any of the handles of the bounding box that appears to apply your selected transformation. You can also drag the center of the transform bounding box to move your selection on the canvas.
Note: Drag the corner handles to transform proportionally, and non-corner handles to transform non-proportionally. You can use the pinch gesture within the transform bounding box to scale the selection, or to rotate the selection. Use the pinch gesture outside the layer bounding box to pan or zoom the canvas.
Tap the undo () icon to revert to the last transformation action performed. Tap redo (
) to restore the undone transformation action.
Tap Done at the top of the transform mode to save your applied transformations. Tap Cancel to exit the transform mode without saving any of the applied transformations.
