Here are my choices in Elements. I tend to use them individually, depending on what I want, though no doubt "Free Transform" covers it all.
Yes that’s it. So you choose Transform, which allows you to enlarge/reduce the image and rotate it. You can also hold down ctrl/cmd and grab a corner to skew it (useful for quickly straightening up a bit of parallax). Or hold alt/opt and grab one of the midway points to enlarge from the middle (or wherever the centre mark has been moved to - very useful when compositing). Or hold Shift and enlarge from one side only. Or you can choose one of the other options such as Skew. Those things are best done as a separate choice. Occasionally you may run into trouble having, say, Skewed the image, and then try one of the other commands as it reverts to original shape but Adobe will sort that in due course I expect. Liquify and Transform don’t always play together nicely either. All-in-all, it a powerful tool for sure.
