I opened this program for the first time (must have come pre-installed on my laptop) to help my mom with something that I'm used to doing for her in Photoshop CS5. I need to paste one image over another, adjust transparency of the top image, and free-rotate the top. On my Android, I can do the pinch-twist maneuver to do this, but it isn't working on my laptop's touch pad, and I can't turn on the "transform puck" referenced in the online manual. All I can do is move the top image around, flip, rotate in 90* increments, and distort it. Can't seem to resize at all, nor manually rotate less than 90*. I thought maybe that was an option reserved for the Pro version, but then I was able to do it on my Android with the free app. What am I missing here? Can someone help me out?

Are you on Windows or on Mac?
If you are on Windows there is the Windows 10 App and the Windows Desktop Version.
The Windows 10 App has no puck for transformation. You can translate and rotate only by touchscreen. If you have the Desktop version and you still see no puck by clicking on the transform tool then this must be a new bug. Transform tool in desktop version
There is no real "pro" version anymore, by the way. All versions are available free for download. There are only differences between the Mobile Apps and the desktop versions (Sketchbook Pro Desktop )
Windows...and that seems to have been the problem. I didn't realize (nor would it have occurred to me) that software pre-installed by the manufacturer on my non-surface laptop would have been designed for surface devices only. (But then, I've got a few other quarrels with the ppl who built and sold me this laptop, so I shouldn't be surprised. LOL) I found and downloaded the free Desktop version and it works like a charm. Thanks for clarifying that!
