The Free Transform / Transform commands let you make transformation changes to the contents of a layer. These changes include - scaling, rotating, skewing, and flipping.
STEP 1
To transform the contents of a layer, you must first select the layer in the Layers panel.
STEP 2
Then go the menu bar and choose Edit > Free Transform. This will bring up the Free Transform options in the Options bar.
STEP 3
To scale the width and/or height of the contents of the selected layer, type in the desired scale value in the horizontal and vertical scale input text fields.
A value beyond 100% makes the object bigger. A value below that makes the object smaller.
You can also change the rotation angle. A positive value rotates clockwise. A negative value rotates counter clockwise.
STEP 4
To apply the transformation changes, click on the Commit transform button.
STEP 5
To flip the contents of the selected layer, go to the menu bar and choose Edit > Transform. Then choose either Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical.
