P: Free Transform Maintain Aspect Ratio broken

I absolutely disagree with Hannah's statement "people have come to expect that grabbing the corner of a window will transform it to scale" -- I am one of the many people that expect to move ONLY THAT CORNER unless I hold down some extra key indicating I want to do MORE than that, or unless some toggle button is set to indicate a proportional restraint. Photoshop is not some beginner's simplistic fool-around toy. It should NOT be changed so carelessly.

Agreed, shift to constrain is a fundamental graphics convention used by EVERYONE. Adobe doesn’t understand, or doesn’t care (or both). Either way it’s so embarrassing.

May I point out that the shift key works as a constraint for other things, such as the move tool, rotate tool, transformation with the distort, etc? It even works in Microsoft Word when you insert a jpg and move it. The inconsistency drove me crazy as I'm sure it does others. I'm fine now because I wised up and I went back to v19.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Carol  me too!

Holy cow, was it THAT difficult to just hold down the Shift key? It's now a mess.

I've just uninstalled 20 and gone back to 19. I'm wondering how I will know if Adobe will fix all the bugs without my having to check here constantly. Given the comments on another thread about filters crashing PS and completely losing files even after saving them beforehand, there's no way I'm going to risk going back to 20. 

Maybe do a version 21 after everything is fixed...while testing to make sure new, improved miserable bugs don't appear?

Adobe CC is NOT cheap, BTW.

Except do it right for Gods sake! Identify it’s fundamental to graphics software and change the probably 100s of places it needs to updated across the suite. Anything less is sloppy, lazy work. I’ve been hired after other dev companies have created these kinds of confusing, jaw-dropping inconsistencies and I’d have a black mark next to my name if I let this stuff through.

Yes, people tend to scale proportional than warping the image. I'm glad Adobe finally got that - at least some of it. Even if you want to scale just one side you actively choose to scale this side by grabbing it! Duh'...

Same goes for the numeric scale option in the top bar. Adobe, it's the same thing! Activate the proportional link icon by default! What's wrong with you??? It's one click more every single effin time!


By the way, the unit in this input should always represent the one chosen in the ruler or info palette. You can still change it of course but the default should orientate itself on the global option!

Lo strumento di ridimensionamento libero non funziona
(il ridimensionamento mantiene sempre le proporzioni)
È necessario premere il tasto maiuscole

This is very frustrating! I hope it gets fixed soon.

Using constrain off/on button works only for the values you enter/scroll manually within the boxes.
