The main use for breaking the X and Y Zoom values is to grow or shrink a
layer in only one dimension. This can be great for making false perspective
or intentionally causing a layer to appear thinner or shorter.

There’s something to note about the default size: layers are initially sized
according to the scaling method you select under Layer Settings (Fill
Frame, Fit to Frame, etc). A Zoom of 100% refers to that size. For example,
when the default ‘Fit to Frame’, the image is sized so that the entire image
fits into the window. This becomes the default size, or 100% Zoom.
Finally, you can change your Zoom value in the Preview window by using
either the mouse wheel or the anchor points on the layer outline. Click on
the layer in the Preview window and roll your mouse wheel back and forth
to see the Zoom changes. Click on an anchor point and drag your mouse
cursor to see the Zoom changes applied that way.

Tilt
The Tilt options are used to control the perspective tilt of a layer. There are
two types of tilt you can apply to a layer, Vertical Tilt and Horizontal Tilt.

Tilt values are measured in degrees and can go from -360 to 360. When
using a Vertical Tilt, a positive value will cause a layer to look as if it's
leaning forward. Moving the slider to the left creates a negative tilt. This
will cause an layer to appear as if it's leaning backward.
