- Scale, rotate, and move the duplicate star. At this point, I need
you to make some precise adjustments:- In the options bar, click the icon between the W and H
values to scale the star paths proportionally. Then change
either the W or H value to 80 percent. - Tab to the rotate value ( ) and change it to –16 degrees.
This tilts the star counterclockwise. - Drag the star until what used to be the upper-left handle
of the now-tilted bounding box clicks into alignment with
the intersection of the topmost and leftmost guidelines, as
shown in Figure 11-32.
When the new star appears in the proper position, press the
Enter or Return key to confirm the transformation.
- In the options bar, click the icon between the W and H
- Repeat the previous transformation three times. Press
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+T (or �-Shift-Option-T) to repeat all the op-
erations performed in the preceding step. This tells Photoshop
to duplicate the second star group, scale it proportionally to
80 percent, rotate it –16 degrees, and move it to the left. Press
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+T (�-Shift-Option-T) twice more to further
repeat the operations. The result is the arcing sequence of five
stars shown in Figure 11-33 on the next page.
