I rarely use these, but they are useful for some things, so worth covering. In this episode I also cover how NOT to use them, choosing other tools, instead.

The tools I consider “Transform Tools” are the Free Transform Tool, the Rotate Tool, the Scale Tool, and the Shear Tool. There are a couple of functions that are unique to these tools, so you have to know how they work, just in case.

We’ll take a look at:

• Which tools do what
• What differs the Free Transform Tool from the Selection Tool
• The powerful feature of the Rotate and Scale Tools that you’ll need
• Alternatives to the Transform Tools
• A Bonus Scene
• What does the Shear Tool really do, anyway
• Are there any tool options for any of these
• How to transform many items at the same time
• other stuff
  

Knowing how to transform shapes and text is important to building a document, and in this Episode you’ll see how the Transform Tools will help get you there.
