Ctrl T does not work., Modify is not an available option, and in my version of CS2, when I hit File > Transform, there is no option for "transform selection.
Hit "Select" at the top menu then "Transform Selection"
Crtl T. allows me to resize what I have
selected, but not the selection area independent of what I have selected, so I can select a smaller or larger area before transforming (or cropping) it. Any other ideas?
If you have an area already selected, Phosphor was absolutely correct when he told you to Right Click on the picture and you’ll see a contextual menu appear.. then Select "Transform Selection" (NOT free transform… free transform will select the portion of the picture within the marquee, just as Crtl T does)… after you select "Transform Selection" then when you right click again you have the choice of selecting free transform to adjust the marquee itself..
The same procedure also applies to the alternative when Phosphor said to go to the top menu and go to Select—
