P: Transform/Resize is constrained by default - Want ability to go back to legacy behavior

@ Jeffrey Tranberry !
You promised a solution that works for everybody ! Now it's March! Whats going on ?

Adobe seems to have their heads completely in their hinnies with the new changes, and you are correct Michael Stephenson— this forum is the biggest joke of all that Adobe has forced us to use.

CAS is a transformation. Hold shift and you can stretch just the horizontal sides. Be sure to release the mouse BEFORE releasing the shift key.

i can confirm that content aware scaling no longer works... i'll file a bug report about this. In the meantime, you can revert back to CC2018 if you need the feature.

For the love of god can you PLEASE give us back the old behaviour ... or at least the choice. This is doing my head in.

While I am at .. this forum utterly confusing, where is the reply button to a post ? I have to keep making new posts because there doesn't appear to be a simple reply button. I find this forum to be the most frustrating/confusing to navigate that I have ever used.

Perhaps I can impart a little humor in this situation. Here goes:
As the story goes, one afternoon a couple just leaving a costume party as a Cow decided to take a shortcut home across a field.



We will call the guy in the front of the cow costume, Mr. User. Let’s call his wife who was the back end of the cow, Mrs. User.

Mr. user and Mrs. User began their journey across the field. Romping along, they were having a great time, until they saw Mr. Bull, we will call him Adobe, was charging toward them.

Mrs. User said in a panic, “What are we going to do.”



Mr. User said, “I’m going to bend over and eat some grass and, if I were you, I would brace myself!

Content Aware SCALE does not work. Tried to strech layer horizontal but it stretches all the selection. 
1. Select area i want to stretch. 
2. Edit, Content Aware Scale
3. Try to strech just the horizontal sides. 
But no, it stretches the whole image which is pretty unusual because it has worked before for me with no problem. I had to end up using Content Aware Fill...
No idea what is going on. Help please!

I have had terrible times with this. On the mac, proportional transform seeems to work by pressing the fn key instead of shift. But that is an unecessary workflow disruption.

Yes, please!! No more stupid 'improvements' that wreak havoc on those of us who use this program on a professional basis!!

Ohh ok. I only use CC19 for the new Content Aware now. Thank you, I updated it just so it's updated.
