Video Transcript

"Adobe Photoshop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems, Inc., and I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Ok. So, on this small little tutorial here, I'm going to show you guys how to copy the tape layer and free-transform it to post it on the other side, so that we can have a final picture. Now, what you want to do is you want to make sure "Tape One" is selected and hit Command or Control-J, on PC. And, of course, it copied the exact same layer. And if you want to actually click right here, as you can see in my row, it's going to hide the effects, which is kind of nice because it gives us a little more room. Now, what you want to do is you can go over here to your move tool, as you can see I just clicked. And you can move your other piece of tape to this side. But you've got a problem, because now it's the same exact replica of this one, but it's not placed where we want it to be placed. So, what you want to hit is Control-T on PC, or Command-T on Mac. That's going to bring up this dialog box here, and all you got to do is click and drag on the corner, just like that. And hit check-mark or hit "Return". And if it doesn't look too good, you can use your move tool now to actually move it around to make it look a little bit better. It now looks pretty good. So now, as you can see here, guys, I have a beautiful picture that is finally done. And we only did it in a short few steps. It is very, very quick and very, very efficient way to do tape, and to do-and the most important thing was using the warp tool to make this little page curl look as the main part of the actual little tutorial here. But I'm actually going to move on, and I can actually show you guys how to make another piece of tape. And it's not so difficult to do."
