Free Transform Not Working

[Sarah27232145a6ro]

I am trying to distort an image and when i use the free transform tool nothing happens? I can pull from the corners and a box moves but nothing actually happens with the image it just says "Shape Expanded". How do I fix this?

The corner handles are part of the bounding box and will only enlarge and/or rotate the shape. Try pulling and pushing on the handles that are created between the corner handles with the Free Transform tool to alter the shape.

Is it a vector-based image? If so, the Perspective Distort and Free Distort tools should be able to work (unless there are live type objects in the selection). It's possible to distort a raster (pixel) based image, such as a photograph, using Envelope Distort commands.
