  • Getting to grips with drawing in Photoshop CS

    Hi,

    I’m a fairly experienced user with a range of other programs..Corel Draw..Publisher…but something I’ve never come to grips with in Photoshop is the way to easily manipulate it’s drawing objects!

    In Corel Draw and Publisher..skewing…Rotation…Resizing..is all a simple click away by putting the mouse over the appropriate handle…or at the most a double click and then adjusting…..

    In Photoshop I have to draw shape…eg. rectangle…
    then press Ctrl T…
    then right click and choose the appropriate option one by one…
    then perform manipulation…

    I guess it’s a small thing..but I was just wondering if there was some kind of ‘magic bullet’ method where more options are available like in Corel Draw and Publisher? Or is this just the nature of a program with many more options?

    Thanks for the great forum and any comment.

    Hmmm..with a bit more playing I’m discovering this isn’t so bad after all…just found the rotation thing is available easily..

    Sorry for asking such an easy question!

    Skewing and distorting can also be done with key-modified click-dragging transform box handles.
