Long-press a frame to access transform controls.

You can transform both drawings and background images using simple gestures:

  • Move β€” drag with one finger

  • Scale β€” pinch with two fingers

  • Rotate β€” 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 β€” drag the corner handles

  • Opacity β€” 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 β€” transform the image

  • Edit drawing β€” transform the drawing
