    "Now let's focus on a particular part, and bring that part out more to our scene. So, what we're going to do here is as you can see, I've already went into edit transfer, and what I want to do is actually escape out of this first. Because what I want to do is I want to take this layer, and this layer here; grab those two layers, and let's just link them together, like so, and when this comes up right here, the little chains right here, these two are linked. So now what I'm going to do is, let's now let's go to, should I go to free transform, or should I, yeah, let's just go to free transform. This is what I'm going to do, I'm just going to come out here, and let's shrink our picture just a little bit, so I can have some room to play here. Let's go ahead, and close my files out, like so. Now, what I've got here as you can see, I can just grab this now, pull this, and actually skew it to something that's more to my liking. Now what I really like is I kind of like this part down here. This is very much to my liking. This gives it that whole real good spacey effect. Let's do it like so, see if we can, let's go ahead and expand this canvas. Well, I can't do it right now because I'm in edit mode, but that's fine, that's fine. Let's go ahead, and we'll force this around to make this take a shape that I'm looking for. Let's bring this out, like so, we'll bring it back in like, there we go. Go ahead, and hit enter, and there we go. It is there, but what's wrong with it is like now it's really huge, so what we need to do is go ahead and crop this. So I go ahead, and hit C for my crop tool, and come up here and just crop this out, like so. Hit enter, and there we go. We're going to pause right here, and we'll pick this up in the next part."
