Transforming a Group
If you select an entire group, all layers and groups nested in it are treated as a single layer.
One set of transform handles appears on a bounding box that encompasses every layer
in that group. All layer transforms occur around a single anchor point belonging to the
group.

2D Transform Tools
Before you transform a layer in the Canvas, make sure the pointer is set to the correct
tool. These tools can be selected from the toolbar. Selecting a 2D transform tool in the
toolbar activates a corresponding onscreen control in the Canvas; you modify layers by
manipulating the active onscreen control.
There are eight 2D transform tools, available in a pop-up menu on the left side of the
toolbar:
Select/Transform: Scales, rotates, and repositions selected layers.
