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

no mention of the transform tool to be fixed. probably didn’t make it for this release. probably it never will:(

I've updated. . . but not tested everything yet.

February 2019 (version 20.0.3) release -  fixed issues:

i see 20.0.3 update in my CC apps. did someone try it? couldn’t find any information about this update?

Mounir: they did, the problem is that those "customers" they listened to are retired and have no deadlines or set workflows to follow. Nor do they pay their mortgages with jobs that use Photoshop.

Adobe needs to listen to their customers, changing the scaling behavior and the Cmd+z was a big mistake.

Craig... you are not crazy!  Adobe is crazy and stupid!

Unbelievable! I recently updated my photoshop and have been completely frustrated with this. Why change something that's been the same for decades?? It's really slowing down my workflow. I'm sure as soon as I get used to this they will change it back. Also, with the crop tool why is the default containing the entire image and not a free crop? Make no sense at all. I shouldn't have to hold shift to do a simple crop. David is right about the muscle memory, I'm completely thrown off. Please put these back to normal. Free transform and all the subcategories as well as the crop tool. Oh and why does the zoom tool in camera raw keep changing and why would it be different than the zoom in photoshop? Get it together guys!! Don't change things just to change them...I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I can’t add much more to this feedback that hasn’t been raised already, except that I totally agree that it was an unnecessary and contradictory ‘new feature !’


I teach Photoshop for a living and since the latest update I don’t find it’s made new users ( for which the 2019 features I’m sure were introduced) any wiser about a standard convention when scaling/drawing anything proportionally in PS.


I can see a 2020 new feature in the making !

Adding my voice to the chorus: the change to proportional constraining in PS continues to be a big stumbling block in my workflow. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if every Adobe product followed suit, but they don't.

Nor is the change applied universally within PS itself: vectors still require a SHIFT to constrain proportions.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to redo, adjust, and double-check my work since this pointless change.

For example, yesterday I needed to slightly scale a corporate logo. Due to decades of muscle memory disrupted by this needless update, I uploaded the logo with incorrect proportions. Fortunately I caught the error before my client did!

Scaling in photoshop now makes no logical sense, and what's frustrating is historical it worked. The Photographs I've imported don't keep their proportion, and objects like a block of colour I want to change the dimensions are fixed, why? 

 

Why was this changed?
