Transform submenu commands

Scale Enlarges or reduces an item relative to its reference point, the fixed point around which transformations are performed. You can scale horizontally, vertically, or both horizontally and vertically.

Rotate Turns an item around a reference point. By default, this point is at the center of the object; however, you can move it to another location.

Skew Slants an item vertically and horizontally.

Distort Stretches an item in all directions.

Perspective Applies one-point perspective to an item.

Warp Manipulates the shape of an item.

Rotate 180, Rotate 90 CW, rotate 90 CCW Rotates the item by the specified number of degrees, either clockwise or counterclockwise.

Flip Flips the item vertically or horizontally.

Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point simplifies perspective-correct editing in images that contain perspective planes—for example, the sides of a building, walls, floors, or any rectangular object.

Edit Plane tool: Selects, edits, moves, and resizes planes.

Create Plane tool Defines the four corner nodes of a plane, adjusts the size and shape of the plane, and tears off a new plane.

Once you create a new (child) plane from an existing (parent) plane, you can no longer adjust the angle of the parent plane.

Bounding box and grid alerts in Vanishing Point

The bounding box and grid change colors to indicate the plane’s current condition. If your plane is invalid, move a corner node until the bounding box and grid are blue.

Blue: Indicates a valid plane. Keep in mind that a valid plane doesn’t guarantee results with the proper perspective. You must make sure that the bounding box and grid accurately line up with geometric elements or a plane area in the image.

Red: Indicates an invalid plane. Vanishing Point cannot calculate the plane’s aspect ratio.

Yellow: Indicates an invalid plane. Some vanishing points of the plane cannot be resolved.

Change the canvas size

• Choose Image > Canvas Size.
• Enter the dimensions for the canvas in the Width and Height boxes. Choose the units of measurement you want from the pop-up menus next to the Width and Height boxes.
• Select Relative, and enter the amount you want to add or subtract from the image’s current canvas size. Enter a positive number to add to the canvas, and enter a negative number to subtract from the canvas.
• For Anchor, click a square to indicate where to position the existing image on the new canvas.
• Choose an option from the Canvas Extension Color menu:
• Foreground to fill the new canvas with the current foreground color
• Background to fill the new canvas with the current background color
• White, Black, or Gray to fill the new canvas with that color
• Other to select a new canvas color using the Color Picker
• Click ok

Puppet Warp

Puppet Warp provides a visual mesh that lets you drastically distort specific image areas, while leaving other areas intact. Applications range from subtle image retouching (such as shaping hair) to total transformations (such as repositioning arms or legs).

• In the Layers panel, select the layer or mask you want to transform.
• Choose Edit > Puppet Warp.
• To rotate the mesh a fixed number of degrees, press Alt and position the cursor near to, but not over the pins. When a circle appears, drag to visually rotate the mesh.
• To rotate the mesh automatically based on the selected Mode option, choose Auto from the Rotate menu in the options bar.
• When your transformation is complete, press Enter or Return.

Prospective warp

• Open the image in Photoshop.
• Choose Edit > Perspective Warp. Review the on-screen tip and close it.
• Draw quads along the planes of the architecture in the image. While drawing the quads, try to keep their edges parallel to the straight lines in the architecture.

Liquify filter

Liquify tool is also known as the Liquify filter. It can be used for retouching and artistic effects. You can push, pull, rotate, reflect, pucker, and bloat the pixels of an image

Forward Warp tool Pushes pixels forward as you drag.

Reconstruct tool Reverses the distortion you’ve already added, as you hold down the mouse button and drag.

Twirl Clockwise tool Rotates pixels clockwise as you hold down the mouse button or drag. To twirl pixels counter clockwise, press Alt key from keyboard and drag.

Pucker tool Moves pixels toward the centre of the brush area as you hold down the mouse button or drag.

Bloat tool Moves pixels away from the centre of the brush area as you hold down the mouse button or drag.

Push Left tool Moves pixels to the left when you drag the tool straight up
