Transform drawings and images

Long-press a frame to access transform controls.
You can transform both drawings and background images using simple gestures:
Move — drag with one finger
Scale — pinch with two fingers
Rotate — drag the rotate handle
To transform only part of a drawing, tap Select and use your Apple Pencil to lasso around the part you want to edit. Only the selected strokes are affected: move, scale, rotate, or flip them, then tap Done to apply.
Background images can also be moved, scaled or rotated. They offer two extra controls:
Distort — drag the corner handles
Opacity — use the slider to fade the image, ideal for tracing over references
If a frame contains both an image and a drawing, a picker will appear:
Edit background — transform the image
Edit drawing — transform the drawing
