Transforming the Vector Mask

The Edit > Transform commands are very useful when working on a Vector Mask. Because the path is made from a collection of points and directional handles (instead of pixels), scaling, rotating, and other transformations will not degrade the quality of the shape. All you have to do is make sure the path is visible before you choose Transform Path from the Edit menu. You can toggle the visibility of a Vector Mask by clicking its thumbnail in the Layers palette.
