I know I am missing some small detail; but for the life of me, I cannot see it. And it is getting frustrating.
I have a photograph of a building. In the first layer I have rotated the building slightly to correct the central verticals. In the next level I intend to skew the image to correct slight keystoning. This is not working. Instead, I am getting the message "Could not transform the selected pixels because the selected area is empty".
I know the message means that somehow the layer I defined for skewing is not connecting properly with the background layer. If I flatten the image it will work, but that is not what I want. And why would the rotate layer work but not the skew one, since they are both affecting pixels in the background layer?
Any suggestions? I am working in CS3 but the problem is the same in CS2.
