Transforming Paths in Photoshop

After the bounding box is around the path, the transformation technique for paths is the same as it is for selections and selection marquees, except that you can apply the distort and perspective commands only to whole paths. The major difference between transforming paths
and selections is in how you first select the path.

To select all paths:
1. Choose Window --> Paths.
2. Click the pathname in the Paths palette.
3. Choose Edit➪Transform Path and choose your desired transformation from the submenu. You can also choose Edit --> Free Transform Path.

Single path

To select a single path:
1. Choose Window --> Paths.
2. Click the pathname in the Paths palette.

To select part of a path:
