Reordering Nonconsecutive Selections

When you apply Bring Forward or Send Backward arrangement command on

nonconsecutive selected layers, the layers move up or down the object hierarchy together,

and any space between the layers remains.

Transforming Objects and Layers

Transforms are operations that you perform on objects—such as moving, resizing, or

rotating. Object transforms can be performed either directly using onscreen controls

(transform handles), or by changing the object’s parameters in the Properties tab of the

Inspector. In general, the controls in the Canvas give you a more hands-on method of

working, while the individual parameter controls in the Properties tab are better suited

for subtle adjustments requiring greater numerical precision. For more information about

each transform’s corresponding parameter and its numerical values, see Adjusting Object

Properties in the Inspector.

Important: Applying a mask or certain filters to a group can cause what is called

rasterization. Rasterization converts a group into a bitmap image, which affects blend

modes and interactions with other objects in a project. For more information on

rasterization, see About Rasterization.

Selecting Objects to Transform

Before you can transform objects and groups, you must first select what you want to

transform in the Canvas, Layers tab, or Timeline. Selecting a group or object in one place

also selects it in the others.

When an object is selected in the Canvas, it is surrounded by a bounding box with

transform handles corresponding to the currently selected transform mode. These handles

allow you to transform each selected object.
