Chapter 3: Objects And Attributes
If you select Transformed Dimensions, the object’s original dimensions will be retained after being
transformed.
If, however, you select Untransformed Dimensions, the object’s dimensions will change when the
transformation is applied.
In the example above, a 2” x 1” rectangle is horizontally skewed by 20°.
When Transformed Dimensions is applied, the rectangle maintains its original width when
horizontally skewed.
When Untransformed Dimensions is used, the rectangle’s width changes.
Freeform editing of floating image selections
Use the Freeform command to place floating image selections in freeform edit mode. When you put an
image selection in freeform mode, rotate and skew it by dragging special handles.
To float a copy of a selection:
1. With a paint object in edit mode, make a selection with the Marquee or Lasso tool. The
selection can encompass the entire paint object.
2. Do one of the following:
Choose Image | Select | Float.
Ctrl-drag the selection. This moves the selection and puts it in freeform mode.
