P: Free Transform/Distort tool inconsistency

I'm not sure this problem is related to that original poster stated...

In the new version of photoshop you hold shift to not constrain the proportions however the feature doesn't always work. Sometimes transform works like it use to and other times it works the new way. Needs to be fixed to be one way or the other, not both and having to guess if I need to hold shift or not this time.

I place a vector logo onto my document. When I click one of the transform controls (top right corner in this case) the logo instantly is stretched when it goes into "transform mode." VERY frustrating.

You are lucky Windows 7 is still supported for 32 bits Ps, but as you may read many others not:

Can you imagine the amount of changes to the software if they actively try to force iPad user workflow into a desktop app?

What's next, we need to use 2 mouses or pens to replicate 2 finger gestures?

Also - it's not happening anytime soon. Large companies are not overhauling their investment in desktop PCs/Macs retraining entire employee base, restructuring IT depts, changing email systems, networks, etc. At my work, we are still on Win 7 for a reason. It's too much of an overhaul for too many complex systems, and not worth the cost.

This would not be the time to meld iPad features and workflow into desktop Photoshop. It would be way better for them to develop them seperately and refine each program specifically for it's user base.

Yes - they still would earn money keeping distinct versions (just other way configured user settings that costs nothing) but when we see there's no any logic in their doings there's most possibly some uprising theory comes true. What could made them to follow this way? When you read what people say we all can agree that's nonsense. Woud so huge company be so unresonable to not simply say so stupid? In my opinion they know what they do, otherwise they would have passed long time ago. There had to be some unofficial agreement between magnates where one had no interest desktop users were stopping inculcation of their well-thought world market domination plan.

I've also gone back to PS2018. I don't think this behaviour from Adobe should be accepted. It's just very poor decisdion making

Sensible approach and I would certainly hope so too!

I would hope that Adobe would understand that it's best to keep PS versions for Desktop and iPad suited to each device?

Haha couldn't work it out as there was a lag! Another bug?
