Snapping
Snapping happens when you drag on a layer. When you get close to the item you are snapping to, the element moves to ‘snap’ into place, as if it is magnetic to the other element.
There are several options for snapping, to see them all choose View > Snapping and select one or more options from the submenu:
- Guides: Snaps to guides.
- Grid: Snaps to the grid. You can only select this option when the grid is visible.
- Canvas: Snaps to the edges of the canvas.
- Objects: Snaps to the images, texts, buttons and shapes.
If you don’t need snapping, you can turn it off by holding down the CTRL key.
Resize
Use the Selection tool to choose the element. You can now resize it proportionally to fit your design by dragging any corner of the element.
To freely resize, Shift-drag a corner handle of the element.
Resize from center
Holding down Alt while clicking and dragging a handle will resize an object proportionally from its center.
Rotate
The Rotate tool lets you turn your image, text, button, shape, or even a group of elements from any angle.
Thanks and happy designing!
