Transforming and warping a vector object

In this movie, I'll show you how to…transform and work this vector based smart object.…Around the contours of this fellows arm.…Notice that my smart object is selected here in the Layers panel.…I'm going to go ahead and rename it…tiger tattoo because that's what it's going to be.…And then just to get my bearings, I'm going to go…up to the Edit menu and choose the Transform command.…And notice here in the sub-menu, that we can scale, rotate and skew this layer.…But we can't apply the distort…perspective or warp effects.…Now that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the layers are a…smart object, it has everything to do with the fact that it came from Illustrator.…

But there's a very simple, if not particularly…obvious solution, and that is to go ahead and…select that layer, then go to the Layer…panel fly-out menu choose Convert to smart object again.…Even though it's already a smart object…>> We're going to place it inside of another Smart Object.…If you loaded…my D-Key shortcuts, I've given you a keyboard…
