1. Re: How to limit size of the Transform Tool box?
Mike Gondek2 Nov 11, 2010 11:30 AM (in response to RichPate)That does not happen to me with a psd placed into another psd as a smart object. what file format are you placing? Do you need to use smart object, this really does not help if you are resizing bitmapped images(unless you are going back and forth between smaller to bigger).

2. Re: How to limit size of the Transform Tool box?
RichPate Nov 11, 2010 4:13 PM (in response to Mike Gondek2)Thanks Mike. Based on what you had to say I did a little experimenting. Yes, indeed, just a straight .psd file placed in another .psd image worked just fine with the Transform command, when converted to a Smart Object before or after being placed.
However, I was selecting all the layers in a .psd file and placing those into another .psd file, and then converting them to a Smart Object. That doesn't work -- so I have changed my workflow.
And yes, I go back and forth to the transform command in resizing, experimenting with perspective and warping, depending on how other elements in the composite come together. So converting to a Smart Object is helpful. I try to do my pixel-based editing on the image prior to placing and conversion in order to save time later in not having to open the Smart Object, edit, then save.
