13. Press Shift + Alt while dragging the mouse to resize the image without maintaining the ratio. Changes will be applied both side of the image.

therefore, the transform control we can click here and transform control will appear then press and hold alt we can resize the image. you’ll see I can select any layer if auto select is disabled here so like immediately this layer is chosen. if I move this layer it will move but if I move my mouse here on this car image you’ll see this is often not selecting and still the girl layer is moving why because in layers panels.
you see the girl layer is chosen if I select this car layer now I can move the car layer or maybe I can resize because show transform control is enabled.
so what we can do for this thing we will check this option auto select so the auto select option should check now you’ll select any object without a selection of the layer from the layers panel and you ‘ll easily move in your document any object any layer in order that is named Auto Select and show transform control.
