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

I personally find the “fix” to only solve one third if the problem with the update.... and I don’t find that there is enough of a benefit to use the new version otherwise.

Do yourselves a favour and reverse the behaviour with a text file in the PS settings folder (takes 1min, honestly) - the first response here explains how...

But (and it's a big but) it's still unbelievable this 'feature' made it through in the state it did, and that it's STILL NOT RESOLVED! 

The feature is named 'Free Transform' for God's sake. That makes it an unacceptable decision in itself, let alone the implications for other PS tools, as well as multiple tools in multiple apps across CC.

What the heck is going on over there - seriously?

I do hope you're right Cristen  🙂 

I am with all of you on this. Dont stop here though. Take to Twitter with your comments as well. The debate on there is fierce. Hopefully Adobe will hear us and at least make it an option in Preferences at the least.

OTOH, playing the optimist, maybe they're redesigning the whole thing, from preferences to Options bar, which is more than a "bug" fix. I'm not exactly getting used to choosing the right modifiers since I move between too many apps on both desktop and mobile, but I am starting to get used to checking myself while I'm transforming to see if I'm distorting, not distorting, depending. <G>

Same here Lonny!

I’m sure that Adobe wants to hear that people are getting used to it but I will never use it until they give me the option to return to legacy behavior...not only for the free transform,but the click to commit and horrible new text behavior as well. I will stick to the 2018 version as long as possible and when it no longer works I will use non-Adobe alternatives.

for now, I'll just stick to 2018, hoping that they'll fix it someday.

This means every constrainable item in all Adobe software suite needs to be changed, else it will never make sense.

I'm sure someone will always create a workaround like the one I use now, so I'll always just set it and forget it. I refuse to break a habit of a convention that still applies in other software I use.

You are probably right. 

I'm starting to get used to the way the tool behaves. They say it takes between 21-66 days to break a habit. 

Maybe Adobe is hoping that the problem will go away and that we just go with the flow an deal with it. They still need to make the tool consistent across all their software and they need to address the Constrain Link on the toolbar which does nothing.
