The Layers Transform Panel allows you to precisely adjust size, position, alignment, opacity, and skew for any layer in your template, including images, texts, uploaded photos, and cliparts.

1. Alignment Tools

The row of alignment icons at the top lets you quickly position a layer relative to the canvas:

• Align left
• Align center horizontally
• Align right
• Align top
• Align middle vertically
• Align bottom

These tools help you place elements precisely without manually dragging.

2. Width & Height

Manually set the exact size of the layer by entering values in pixels.

• Adjust Width
• Adjust Height

This ensures consistency, especially when creating multiple similar templates.

3. X & Y Position

Controls the exact position of the layer on the canvas:

• X = horizontal position
• Y = vertical position

Useful for aligning elements across different products or layouts.

4. Skew (X & Y)

Adds perspective-style slants:

• Skew X = slants left/right
• Skew Y = slants up/down

Great for stylized effects or playful text designs.

5. Flip Tools

Options include:

• Flip horizontally
• Flip vertically

Ideal for mirroring cliparts (e.g., left-facing vs. right-facing poses).

6. Opacity

Adjusts the transparency of the selected layer:

• 0% = fully transparent
• 100% = fully opaque

Helpful for overlays, shadows, or blending graphics with customer photos.

Notes & Best Practices

• The Transform panel works the same way for every layer type, making your workflow consistent.
• Use numeric inputs (size, position) for templates that require exact precision.
• Combine opacity + alignment to create layered, professional compositions.
• Skew adjustments work best on text or decorative elements.
