To edit a QuickShape:

1. Click its layer or path name in the Layers or Paths tab, respectively, to select

it. If on a Shape layer, make sure the layer's path thumbnail is selected (it

has a white border; arrowed below) to allow the path to be edited with the

Node Edit Tool or Shape Edit Tool, i.e.

2. From the Node Tools flyout, use either:

• The

Node Edit Tool (Tools toolbar) to click on the shape

and readjust any of the shape's handles.

• The

Shape Edit Tool to select, move, resize, and deform

individual shapes.

(If you only have one shape on a layer, you can use the Move

Tool and Deform Tool.) To resize without constraint, you can

drag any shape's handle; to constrain the shape's proportions,

hold down the Shift key while dragging. To deform the shape,

drag a node while the Ctrl key is pressed.
