Transform Tool Question

[jennyf92]

I know I saw the answer for this somewhere, but I don't remember where.

Does anyone know how to make the entire bounding box visible (i.e., the corners) when using the transform tool when the edges of what you are resizing are off the canvas? I know there is a quick key for this, but I can't remember and my search parameters are not clear enough to find the answer through google.

Thanks so much!

Oh man - I'm not sure. I know I can see my bounding box all the time, but I'm not sure how I got it this way...

Thanks, Kelley. I hunted around a bit more and found my answer:

CTRL + 0 or CMD + 0 (Mac) puts all your handles in view when the item you are trying to transform is hanging off the canvas.

Jen, with the Transform tool selected, you'll see a check box "Show Transform Controls" on the top bar.
! You have to have the window Options checked (top bar -> Windows -> scroll down to Options).

is this the one you meant?

YEs control 0 - I take the show transform controls off as it drives me nuts!!! Unless it's a photobook - in which case it's very handy!

I always use CTRL and the mouse wheel to scroll in and out of my page to see the handles when they are outside the page. then CTRL+0 to get the page back to workable size. not sure if that's what you mean, probably not, but it's a useful tip (to me anyway :giggle: )

I'm just the opposite. I can't stand them being off :25r30wi: I rarely take them off unless I'm making a word with alphas.

How do you resize/rotate stuff if you can't see the transform controls ?
