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

This forum is it the equivalent of the uservoice forums for other Adobe. 

Bridge and other Adobe programs have a bug report and feature request page with voting system, on the adobe support site.  I could not find one for Photoshop. The latest release of Bridge also has fundamental pointless changes that have ruffled many feathers.  At least there's a way to properly respond.

How can we be sure adobe folks follow this Photoshop Family thread.  Are there any official folks here already?  Please reassure us that adobe is taking notice...or not.

FYI for those interested:  Screen capture of how to go back a version.

Yup. True and well said.

Very true and well said!

Probably be a reflection, not a comment, upon the rest of our society.<sigh> With easy button, sound bite responses to everything, we'll have to let go of the phrase "it's a brave new world." Nothing brave about it if you don't take any risks. LOL

I too notice Adobe's silence.  Personally, I'm "afraid" to upgrade as I can now get my work done with what is available.  Trust is earned...  Adobe is loosing my trust with these unwanted changes.

Agree. We also use CAD software here, and my colleagues often want these new features and shortcuts to speed workflow and make things easier. However, the more shortcuts they add, the less we are depended on for our actual skill. Eventually we won't be needed and won't have jobs! Not to mention you lose the artists 'hand' in the resulting work. Thirdly, you will be expected to finish things quicker because your manager thinks you are using these magic shortcuts.

There are shortcuts I deliberately won't use because I prefer a natural feel, and some shortcuts look cheap and digital, and end up looking the same as everyone else using those shortcuts. Kind of like how you can tell when someone uses a Photoshop filter. Often someone will ask me to 'just use the filter to get this effect!' I'm like 'nope'

We learned this stuff because we did not have shortcuts, we manually did the work. How will anyone ever learn anything if things are automated, and will art/design look like.

> I personally am not on board with AI too much, because that means the "software engineer" is the artist and not me.>

Mostly I hate anything "AI"  for the same reason, but I have seen it work pretty well in some practical areas. Topaz has AI Clear and AI Gigapixel (with human controls). These are filters that depend upon close up computer analysis to be able to do a better job than humans. I don't own either, but I will probably at least get AI Gigapixel eventually for those times I need to upscale by a lot. (And yes, I know garbage in/garbage out, but if that's what you have to work with, at least make it the best garbage, to paraphrase someone who always has the best of everything. . . ) From what I've seen, it does a better job than On1, which does a better job than PS. So there are certain areas where computer analysis could probably help us—but not if it amounts to Auto color or Auto tone, where all the creative decisions are removed by algorithms.

I can embrace AI/Sensei development (better CAF anyone?), but not if it were trying to "level" the playing field between creatives and people who think 5 minutes is a bit too long to work at creating something. I can remember Painter used to sell itself by saying "you don't need to learn to paint—we can do it for you." LOL 

Computer industries are always trying to make themselves indispensable that way, and it's up to us to push back—asking for the tools that help us be more productive, better creatives, not better robots. We just can't give up, not because we get discouraged. We do, and we can each of us step back for a bit to refresh, but we can't give up because there is literally no other option—unless we can get voted onto the board of directors, that is.
