Move, rotate, or scale a selected area

These tools, found in the Transform Layer puck, help to save time by reducing erasing and redrawing time. If you find a section that needs to be moved further away, instead of erasing and redrawing it in the correct position, you can use the Move tool. Rotate is useful for changing the angle of whatever is selected. And, if you have ever sketched something, loved the way it looked, then realized it wasn’t to scale, try the Scale and Non-proportional Scale tools.

Moving, rotating, or scaling a selected area

1. To select a rectangular area of the current layer, flick toward this icon .

   Or, use the lasso tool to select an irregularly shaped area.

2. Drag the stylus until you select the area you want to move.

3. Move the cursor into the selected area.

   The Transform Layer puck appears.

   - To move the selection, highlight the outer circle of the tool labeled move. Click, then drag to move the layer around the canvas.
   - To rotate the selection around its center, highlight the middle circle of the tool labeled rotate. Click, then drag in a circular motion in the direction you want to rotate. The number of degrees of rotation from when you entered the tool displays.
   - To scale the selection bigger or smaller, highlight the inner circle of the tool labeled scale. Click, then drag to scale up or down to display the percentage scaling.
     NoteTo move, rotate, or scale a selected area for all layers, merge the layers first. See Organizing layers.
   - To scale the selection in only one direction, highlight the upper part of the inner circle.

     Click, then drag in the direction you want scaled.

4. Place the selection how you want it and close the Transform Layer puck (or choose a brush).

   The selection is “baked”, meaning you can no longer move, rotate, or scale it on its own. If you do not like its placement, choose Undo and try again.
