Lesson 5
Transformations

​Experience:
In lesson 4, you learned about free transform. You'll have the opportunity to practice what you've learned here in lesson 5. You'll learn about Photoshop's undo capabilities, and the History Panel - a powerful undo feature on steroids. You'll learn about using Photoshop's crop tool. You'll also learn about smart objects - Photoshop's method of letting you do non-destructive transformations. I'll introduce you to the content-aware tools - they are almost magical.
