You can move, scale, or rotate an image layer
relative to its canvas plane or relative to other image layers (if
the canvas plane contains more than one image layer).
To move, scale, or rotate
an image layer
- Choose Windows > Editors > Canvas Layer Editor to open the Canvas
Layer Editor.
- Select the image layer you want to move,
scale, or rotate. (Select an image layer)
To transform more than
one layer at once, link the other layers to the selected one by
turning on their icon
in the Canvas
Layer Editor.
- Choose Paint Edit > Modify Layer > Transform Layer from the Palette, or Edit
> Transform layer from the Canvas Layer Editor.
A manipulator appears
on the active image layer.
- Click and drag a manipulator handle to
transform the image layer.
When you move the mouse over the manipulator,
a context-sensitive cursor shows the current transform mode (move,
scale, rotate).
NoteTo move only horizontally or vertically,
hold the
key and move the mouse in
the desired direction. You can also use the arrow keys to move by
small increments.
To
enter exact numerical values, use the text fields in the option
box.
- Press the Accept button
in the lower right corner of the screen to apply the transformations
to the layer(s).
NoteChoose
Edit > Undo to undo the image layer
transformations.
NoteYou
can Undo an unlimited number of
times, all the way back to the original state.
