3. Choose the Move tool (press V). Then press Ctrl+T to switch into Transform mode, or choose
Edit Transform Scale. Click the Maintain Aspect Ratio button. (The icon looks like two
chain links.) This mode ensures that width and height values remain equal when you scale the
layer; otherwise, distortion occurs.

Click inside the Width text box, and then press and hold the Down arrow key to decrease the
numeric values quickly. Release the Down arrow key when the values in the W and H text
boxes reach 20%.
4. Place your mouse inside the entourage’s transform bounding box (the cursor is shown inside
in Figure 4.29), and drag the figure down to the ground line.
