When using the Distort tool, is there a keyboard command that will isolate only that point you have clicked on to move so that no other areas of the image will move? I’m working on panoramas and because I’m not using a tripod but a bubble level in the camera’s hotshoe occasionally there is some mismatching in sequential photos, especially where there are lots of horizontal and vertical things to match. When I use the Distort tool to try to match things up I’m getting too many things moving in the photo so, I might be creating a perfect match on, say, the bottom part of the photo, but the top part becomes mismatched because of movement caused when using the Distort tool. Thanks for any help.

Not sure what you mean when you say "Distort tool" in PS 7. Are you talking about Transform? You might look for a stitching/panorama program. There are free or cheap ones out there.

Yes, the Distort tool in Transform. I have a panorama program. I need to tweak the photos within the panorama and use the Distort tool to sometimes do that, hence my question.

Hold down Command (Mac) or Control (PC) while dragging a handle.
