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

No sense what so ever on the new transform, just plain retarded after 20 years do they ever ask users what they think, just read the post WTF

You are godsent!

Take what I say with a grain of salt, since I only got Affinity for iPad yesterday. But when I watched a tutorial on gestures, my head started swimming. It looks like they use the same concept there—no gesture (shift) for constrain transform, gesture to unconstrain—but it also appears to be inconsistent. It looked to me like shapes (vector) were different with free transform using no gesture. They came out a long time ago, so maybe PS is copying them?

It's going to be a confusing world out there. I still want the option to constrain or not on the Options bar,  so if we click on the link, it's constrained AND a sticky setting. Unlinked, unconstrained, AND a sticky setting.  We can have a preference, too, but the Options bar lets us choose on the fly.  As for the iPad, I'll probably click my way through it all, ignoring gestures as much as I possibly can, and hope menus and icons work as well on the iPad as they do on the desktop for apps where I don't remember all the shortcuts. It's not as if I'm using the iPad to be highly productive.

Buckle up for this brave new world.

As a Photoshop user since V3, I would venture to say Adobe's mindset started when they purchased Aldus Photostyler and thus eliminating their real competition.  Monopolies always choose to do what they want as opposed to serving their loyal client base.  

Adobe has no real competition so they do as they please without regard to their clients.  Adobe of late has been making more changes that hurt professional users and woo novices.  

Adobe, I plead with you to LEAVE THE BASIC OPERATION OF PHOTOSHOP ALONE!  Make your product perform better and give us a way in the prefs to "opt out" of any major changes.  Change all you want in Photoshop Elements for the novices and kids.  If you want Photoshop for the iPad... call it Photoshop iPad, making it a separate application.  You are in the process of screwing yourself royally and don't seem to realize it.  Listen to your professional users.  They pay your salaries.

Remember, Rome fell and you can too!

Maybe we should all go on every forum we can find and every youtube channel that teaches photoshop and lightroom and spread the word of the horrible program it has become. More and more I am using ACDSee as an alternative to both photoshop and lightroom. I still have CS6 running like a boss here and CS5 32 bit for some plugins I need.

The problem is that the soon to be released Photoshop for iPad has the same underlying code as the desktop Photoshop. I think that's really what's going on. 

Adobe is not going to listen to us.

I read online 'The Verge' which reported that "Bringing a program like Photoshop to the iPad is a monumental task. The project started 18 months ago when two Adobe engineers asked to carve out time to bring the Photoshop codebase to the iPad. “There was just a lot of doubt until what we call the “proof of life” moment,” says Scott Belsky, Adobe’s chief product officer. Senior director Pam Clark agrees: “We fully admit we were surprised when the engineers showed up, and it was quite powerful and smooth.” That “proof of life” product inspired the design team to start focusing on the app’s user experience, with each new build focusing on a different Photoshop workflow."

I am a little disheartened by Adobe's lack of response for the discontent over this feature that no one wanted. If Adobe is going to change a core behavior and say it's for user experience or consistency, then why are you forcing long-time users to edit a buried preferences file and why are none of the other Adobe apps the same. At the very least, please make it an option in the Photoshop preferences. This was not a cool move for people who use Photoshop every day.

So as of now there are ninety, count 'em, metoos tallied at the top of this page. Does anyone really think that Adobe pays any attention at all to this, not even a zygote of a blip on their radar. They simply don't care and go on collecting our monthly due. They care about one thing and one thing only. That should be readily apparent at this point.

It's a stupid unfair move. Adobe updated 20.0.1 and in that update they didn't even bother to look at the transform tool. 

I'm beginning to think that Adobe is going to ignore the complaints in this forum about the scaling behaviour.

I'm hoping that more of our friends add their woes about the transform tool here and vote by clicking 'ME TOO' on top of this page. Hopefully Adobe will get the message that we want to go back to the existing behaviour of the transform tool that was in Photoshop V19.

Spread the word so that Adobe gets the message.

I refuse to use the buggy Photoshop V20. I wasted so much valuable time and expense trialling the new version and it's not worth it to me to keep using V20
