Learn how to use the Free Transform modify shape of an individual layer. Stretch, rotate, warp, flip and skew the image, and change the orientation of the scaling you apply.

Learn how to make your Adobe Photoshop files developer-friendly. Justin Seeley, staff author at lynda.com, will walk through a real-world website comp design for a client and then take you through that comp design process using Photoshop. We'll explore the entire Photoshop to HTML workflow. During this session, you'll learn how to:• Build a document for web vs. print• Take responsive design into consideration• Build wireframe mockups using shape layers• Integrate Photoshop artwork into apps like Adobe Muse and Dreamweaver

In this Quick Tip, Julieanne demonstrates three different ways to display an image with in a shape in Photoshop including vector masks, clipping masks and layer groups.

Simple shapes—circles, squares, ellipses, and more—can be valuable building blocks in an animation. A rectangle shape can be a basic background for a lower-third title, or it can be the base of a complex, three-dimensional clone animation. In this movie, Ian Robinson introduces the fundamentals of building, transforming, and animating basic shapes.

FrameMaker 11 has graphic object properties, which behave somewhat like layers in InDesign. Confined to vector graphic shapes and anchored frames, they allow users to universally change all instances of certain anchored frames, text call-outs, or common shapes and graphic objects.

Take an in-depth look at extruded vector layers in this continued lesson on Ray-traced 3D. Review the new properties including the extrusion parameter, the bevel settings, the material options including reflections, also explore the animate pop-up and environment maps.

See how you can use the new "Create Shapes from Vector Layer" command to convert your Illustrator documents to editable vectors in After Effects. See how a shape in Illustrator ends up as a Ray-traced, extruded 3D layer in After Effects.

Get an introduction to Ray-traced 3D, how to activate it, the 3D layers it adds, and the many options that are available in those layers. Vector layers for text and shapes have greatly expanded options in this version of AE, and most useful for non vector layers are the new "Material" options which include the ability to create after-effects-native reflections for the first time.

In this video, you will see how to quickly convert vector graphics from Illustrator to shape layers and animate the paths in After Effects CS6. In previous versions, this would have involved a great deal of tedious cutting and pasting - but no more.
