Free Transform isn't working... I can only rotate, skew, and resize, but I can't give any depth...

 

if youre trying to transform text, you have to rasterize the layer first.

 

yeah i tried that, still doesn't work.

I have CS if that matters....

 

well what do you mean by depth?

during free transform mode:

holding Ctrl stretches and skews

holding Alt expands contracts image

holding Shift shrinks/enlarges image proportionally

holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift expands/contracts one side of the selected area (can be used to make images appear on a 3d scale).

 

By depth I mean "appear on a 3d scale"

I tried Ctrl+Alt+Shift but I can only get to skew proportionally (horizontal and vertical), but I can't figure out how to expand/contract one side

Thanks btw

 

You need to use the distort tool.
What version you running?

 

I'm running Adobe Photoshop CS Version 8.0


...Where's the Distort tool?

 

I'm not sure if it's in 8.0, if it is though it would be in the same list as the skew, transform etc...

 

AHA!

Found it

Had to rasterize so its not grayed out, and then its in a seperate command from "free transform"

Thanks for the help

 

Yeah that's what were hear for, your welcome.
