Free Transform Tool

[SammyJ]

Hi All

I am new to Photoshop and have downloaded some eyelash brushes experiment with.

I am having trouble with the Free Transform tool though. When I click the icon, it selects the whole image and not just the lash I painted.

Anyone have some hints on what I could be doing wrong?

At the moment I have two layers; the original, and a second layer for the first lash. I have tried selecting just the lash layer and also selecting both layers but to no avail.

Regards
Sam

Sam, is your eyelash on a transparent layer. If not, it needs to be. If it is, then if you hold the control key down and click the layer icon in the layer palette, the active pixels will be selected. Then hit control + T to invoke the Transform tool.

Wow! Quick Response! Thankyou so much!!!!

I had duplicated the original layer, so I deleted that one and created a new layer.

I feel a bit silly now!

Thanks again, this forum is wonderful!!!!!!
