When I scan a series of drawings I like to select and export parts of that drawing into seperate jpg files Is there a fast function in AP to cut and copy a selection into a new file? Now cut copy a selection but then the new file is either to small or large for the selection. Furthermore I cannot crop to selection

Now cut copy a selection but then the new file is either to small or large for the selection. Furthermore I cannot crop to selection AP is nog crashing. It is just that AP takes so many handling to perform such an easy job Is there for example an option to create a new file in exact the right amount of pixels. And then paste the copied picture right in the middle of that new file? So that I do not have to move and crop all the time

Thanks, I can do that, but with 'V' I can only scale/skew/rotate. As soon as I want to free transform it seems that I need to use the perspective tool -> there it can only work with a new layer/the whole artwork on that layer. Not with a selection only. Right?

Hi Callum, Thanks, Thats right, can I make a selection within a whole page and then distort that selection. Without first pasting that selection into a new layer Rick

When using the Move tool you can also transform and rotate your selection How can you free transform this SELECTION -> skew / free distort (straith lines), without putting the whole layer into perspective
