Using the Transform Tool

The Transform tool at the top of the Tool well is used to manipulate the contents of a layer, and works even if the only layer you have is the base photo layer. A layer may be repositioned, sized or rotated using the Transform Tool. When the tool is selected, handles will appear on the edges of the selected layer. You use these handles to manipulate the image. When you are done, click the Apply button in the Tool Options bar.
