Whether rather more useful tools is your transform tool. Now I use this a lot through this  class and a lot of my own work. So it's often used as a shortcut. So the long way is under edit  and it's this one called free transform tool here. Now I use the um,  I'm gonna use the shortcut throughout this course  and it's really good one for you to learn as well. You can see on a Mac it's command T,  and on a PC it's control T.

Okay, so I'm gonna hit command T on my keyboard. Watch this 'cause I've got my grid viewed here. Okay, if you haven't got your grid showing, go to view show  and go to guides. Okay? And watch this  because my guides are out, it'll snap to it  and say, I want it to get quite bit bigger  and I'm wanna snap it out to,  so it spans four columns here for this button. Great.

So it'll snap to the guides if it needs to. You can turn the guides off and it won't. Now a couple of other handy modifier tools  is let's hit escape. Escape gets rid of our transformation  and let's go to T or control T on a PC and watch this. If I hold down the shift key while I'm dragging one  of these corners, can you see that the height  and width is exactly the same? So if I undo that, if I don't hold the shift key down,  I can move it any old size I like, which is handy,  but also really good if you hold shift key down.

Now if hit escape again,  let's look at one other modifier key. So command T and is the alt key. So if we're holding the alt key down  and say, I wanna make this  and these four columns for holding the alt key  to this one side watch, what happens can see the opposite  side comes along for the ride and that's the alt key. If I hold that down while I'm stretching it out,  when you're finished and you're finished transformation  and you like it, hit enter on your keyboard or return  and that'll commit that  and that'll finish the transformation. You're ready to go.
