Selecting and Transforming

In this chapter, we are going to learn about the Selections and Transform tools. They are the last two buttons found on the Advanced Features tab at the top-left corner of your workspace. The S-shaped icon is for the Selections tool and the arrow-shaped icon is for the Transform tool. Both of these tools are often used together, to demarcate and edit specific parts of your artwork. This allows you to have better control.

The Selections tool is used to isolate the area of interest, and the Transform tool is used to make further modifications to this selected area. In this chapter, we will look closely into how these tools help you to select and adjust sections of your image while leaving the rest untouched.

We’re going to cover the following broad topics in this chapter:

  • The Selections tool
  • The Transform tool
