Editing lenses

After you create a lens, you can edit it. For example, you can add areas to it and remove areas from it.

Lenses can be selected and transformed in the same way that you select and transform objects. For information about selecting and transforming objects, see “Working with objects” on page 447 and “Modifying objects” on page 453. You can also change the shape of a lens using a special effects filter. For more information about special effects, see “Applying special effects” on page 423.
