In this movie I'll show you how to achieve…a modicum of numerical feedback when transforming an object.…And I'll also show you how to reset the bounding box.…I'll start things off by selecting the…object, as usual, with the black arrow tool.…And then I'll switch to the Free Transform tool.…And note if I also bring up the transform panel, which I can also get…to by choosing the transform command from the window menu, and I rotate the object,…watch this rotate value right there.…When I rotate the object, I get no feedback whatsoever, and that is…to say, I don't get live feedback, and I don't see the results.…
So there's no institutional memory where these sorts of distortions are concerned.…By which I mean you can't, for example, right click…inside the object and reset it to its original appearance.…Every change you've applied is permanent.…You can undo it of course, but it's going to be a lot of steps.…And it's really not the free transform tool's fault because…notice, if I enter a specific rotation value inside the transform…
