The Object Transformation Tool

These two Tools allow you to Select, Move, Scale, Stretch, and Rotate effects and photos that are inside the effect. There are two types of Bitmap Transformation tools in DreamSuite: Transform Effect and Transform Photo. Both work in essentially the same way. When the Transform tool is active, move the cursor around the transformation handles, and you will be presented with scale, stretch, rotate and move options.

When using the Scale or Stretch cursor, on either tool, you can hold down the SHIFT key to constrain the scale to proportional dimensions.
