Deforming
The Deform Tool (Tools toolbar) lets you move, scale, rotate, or skew a
selection or layer. Start by making a selection if desired, then choose the Deform
Tool. For either selection or layer, a rectangle appears with handles at its corners
and edges, and a fixed point (initially in the centre of the region). If there's no
selection, the rectangle includes the whole active layer.
For example, a layer can be deformed using scale and skew operations.
