To the users of Photoshop software to explain the detailed analysis of the transformation of the principle of replication.
Make a transform copy trajectory
The first thing to understand is that the transformation of replication, is certainly related to the transformation, the so-called production of transformation replication trajectory, is to layer first use shortcut keys Ctrl+t (below abbreviated for CT) to perform transformation operations, and then use cast to perform transformation replication, that is, ct+cast operation. So which layers can make a transform-copy trajectory?
> Smart objects-You may not (but can perform a transformation copy trajectory, which is a bit difficult to understand, as detailed below)
> group-CAN, but cannot replicate (we can convert it to a smart object and perform a transformation copy trajectory, and if we really need a group transformation copy, you can use the shortcut key ctrl+j to copy one more group and then use the cast transform to copy it.) Of course, the group is not a layer)
> Adjustment layer is parameter layer, so of course it is impossible ~
We often use cast to perform rotational replication, rotate and zoom replication, linear zoom replication, and so on, usually using shape layers to achieve the graphics we want. However, in some special cases, we need to use smart objects.
Each time just opened the PS, the transformation of the copy trajectory is the state of zero, this time we must first make transformation copy trajectory. Draw any graphic with a layer (shape layer/pixel layer/type layer) that can make a transformation copy track. Then the CT (reference point, rotation, movement is after the operation of CT) transform operation, and then use cast to perform transformation replication (record trajectory, just copy one or more can be).
When making a transformation copy trajectory, the system will record the transformation of the trajectory, but again to create a transformation copy trajectory, the system will record the latest one, such as figure;
Perform a transform copy trajectory
After making the transformation copy trajectory and the system recording, the trajectory can be executed to any intent layer, that is, the layer directly uses cast (not using CT) to transform the copy, as shown in figure:
Interestingly, when the system records a trajectory, no matter where you move this trajectory, the transformation copy that follows will still revolve around the original path that was not moved, so when you make a transform-copy trajectory, the first shape you draw is then centered as vertically as possible before the transformation, so that the layer that you perform later is better displayed.
The graphic position of the transform copy trajectory layer affects the effect of the entire transformation copy. As long as you make a trajectory, you can make more transformations to copy graphics, depending on the different graphics, different locations, as shown in the picture above, the Blue Note and the yellow note position is not the same, the shape of the transformation copy is not the same. When we perform a transform-copy trajectory of a smart object with animations, different animations can be produced in various locations.
Warm tip: Create a new canvas of the same size you can also perform a transform copy trajectory of system records
> Use pixel layer/type layer/shape layer to make transform copy trajectory, operation: ct+cast
> Any layer can perform a transform copy trajectory, action: CAST
> System records the most recently made transformation copy trajectory
> Perform transformation copy track layer different shapes, different locations affect the entire transformation copy effect
Well, the above information is small compiled to you photoshop this software users of the detailed transformation of the principle of translation and sharing of all the content, you see the users here, now small to believe you are very clear it, Hope that the contents of the small series to share the content can bring useful help.
