I have an image with two layers and a circular clipping path.
In Photoshop 8 I could edit/free transform layer 2 to any size I wanted without doing anything to the path.
In photoshop CS, when I try to resize layer 2, the edit/transform command turns into the Edit/ free transform path command ?!?!? What's that about?
I have no wish to do anything to the path. I want to free transform the layer and leave the path as is.
Surely there is a way to do this in CS. Any ideas out there?
Thanks for any help!
#1
Go to the paths palette and deselect the path, then do the transform.
If you want ot see hte path while doing the trasnform, press ctrl-H, start the transform and press ctrl-H again to view the path while transforming

There is no way to deselect the path on the paths pallet that I can see. The options are Duplicate path, delete path, fill path, make selectin, stroke path, clipping path, etc..... no option to deselect path. But that ctrl-H works like a charm. Without going to the paths pallet Ctrl-H deselects the path and the layer can be resized independently. Thanks a bunch! Maybe you can elaborate on how to deselect the path using the paths palate? Something I am not seeing?

Just click off that particular path, elsewhere in the path palette.
