Tip of the week

Transform and copy Sometimes you may need to use an object more than once in a document and perhaps you want it to be at different angles or sizes. Instead of creating multiple layers and doing everything manually, try pressing Ctrl+Alt+T (PC) or Cmd+Alt+T (Mac) and then using the Free Transform tool as you normally would. Your transform will take place on a copy of your object, leaving the original completely untouched.
