Setting the reference point

All transformations are performed around a fixed point called the reference point. By default, this point is at the center of the layer or selection.

To set the reference point for a transformation:

1 Select a transformation command, as described in the following topics. A bounding box appears in the image.

2 In the options bar, click a square on the reference point locator (). Each square represents a point on the bounding box. For example, to set the reference point to the top left corner of the bounding box, click the top left square on the reference point locator.
