Chaque outil de Transformation (Rotation, Changement d’échelle, Perspective, etc) peut être réglé pour agir spécifiquement sur les chemins, grâce à l’option « Transformer : » dans le dialogue d’Options de l’outil. Cela vous donne un puissant moyen d’action sur la forme des chemins sans affecter les autres éléments de l’image.

By default a Transform tool, when it is set to affect paths, acts on only one path: the active path for the image, which is shown highlighted in the Paths dialog. You can make a transformation affect more than one path, and possibly other things as well, using the « transform lock » buttons in the Paths dialog. Not only paths, but also layers and channels, can be transform-locked. If you transform one element that is transform-locked, all others will be transformed in the same way. So, for example, if you want to scale a layer and a path by the same amount, click the transform-lock buttons so that « chain » symbols appear next to the layer in the Layers dialog, and the path in the Paths dialog; then use the Scale tool on either the layer or the path, and the other will automatically follow.
