Distorting with the free transform tool

Distorting an object varies the size and shape of an object by dragging the corner points of the free transform tool's bounding box. As you drag the corner handles of the bounding box, the object's shape is distorted accordingly.

To distort with the free transform tool:

1. With the selection tool, select the object or objects to distort.
2. Select the free transform tool .
3. Start dragging a handle on the corner of the bounding box (not a side) and then do one of the following:
• Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
• Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective.
