Skew or Distort a Selection You can transform a selection by using the Skew or Distort commands. This enables you to stretch elements in your image into interesting shapes. When you skew or distort a selection in the Background layer, Photoshop Elements replaces the exposed areas, which the skewing or distorting creates, with the current background color. If you skew or distort a selection in another layer, the underlying layers appear in the exposed areas. See Chapter 8 for more on layers. title.psd @ 100% (layer) Layers ew the Fig. 3, Sk Selectio n.
