Finally finished!... Huh?... The eyes are misplaced!

Have you ever had this experience?

After finally finishing, you realize, "The eyes are in the wrong place!" or "Ah, I want to transform/correct that spot!"

I've "transformed/corrected" it!... But there are too many layers, it's a hassle!

And when you finally try to "transform/correct" it, as shown in the image below, you find there are so many layers that it's hard to get motivated, isn't it?

 

So many... 。。。_| ̄|○

Even with many layers... it's perfectly fine!!!

So, this time, I will introduce a method to solve that problem.

 

What kind of method can solve it?

 

It's a very simple method.

 

It's "folders".

Put all those many layers into a folder!

Put all layers into a "folder"...

Select all layers with the "Shift key", put them into a folder, and make sure the "folder" is selected.

Enclose the area you want to "transform/correct" with a "selection tool".

Then click "Scale/Rotate".

And in this way, you can easily "transform/correct" it.

This allows you to "transform/correct" all layers within a folder at once.

No, no, no, I only want to transform/correct "a few layers"!

Instead of transforming/correcting all layers, you can also transform/correct "just a few layers" using the same method.

 

Just like before, select the layers you want to transform/correct with the Shift key and put them into a folder.

Then, just like before, you can make corrections by enclosing the area you want to transform/correct with the "selection tool" and clicking "Scale/Rotate".

 

Also, though not included in the video, you can use "Mesh Transformation" found in the "Edit" menu, without using "Scale/Rotate".

A final word

The method I introduced this time was not taught to me by anyone, nor did I learn it from a manual.

 

It's a method I "came up with" and succeeded when I tried it.

 

I'm sure if you look at the manual, this method will be described.

However, it's difficult to read all the many manuals, isn't it?

 

So, if you ever think, "Maybe if I do this, I can achieve that?", please try it immediately.

 

Thank you for reading to the end.

If you like, I've also prepared a video, so please take a look.

 

*For those with hearing concerns, I recommend setting YouTube's "automatic captions".

Since I edit the captions myself, they might be easier to understand 😓

Also, for international viewers, please set "automatic captions" to your native language and watch.

I run an illustration channel on YouTube.

If you like, subscribing to my channel would make me...

 

Cry with joy and sing! 😊

 

Thank you in advance.
