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

Tried photoshop 2019 - scaling behaviour broken - deleted & rolled back to 2018. It wasn't broken, Adobe - why did you break it? People who know this tool to the point of not having to think about it now have to think about it, thus impinging on their productivity - did you consider that?

Did you "Me Too" ?

This is sooooooo annoying Adobe. I have been using Photoshop for 19 years.... and now you change the 'shift' key around. Give is the option to change it back please so we can just get on with our work..... 

I started in Photoshop 2.5 before it had layers and I’d say that while the application isn’t perfect, it is close to brilliant.

The change in the bahavior for Free Transorm is out of character flr Adobe. How long time users use the product is often well considered. Maybe it’s new people on the team? I am sure that the feedback is being heard and that we’ll have something in the preferences for this and it working as expected as set by the user.

I am still doing the bulk of my work in version 19 (CC2018),b but I typically hold off three to four months before mograting to major releases. Proir to the subscription model, I always held off until the .1 or .5 version shipped.

If anything, I jump up to 2019 for the content-aware fill improvments and then jump back to 2018 (both open at the same time). That’s certainly not ideal.

Also, basic math in the value text fields is almost worth all the other hassles. (Almost.)

I have worked in Photoshop longer than almost everyone. I started with PS3 beta release and have been a professional user ever since. In the 90's I beta tested quite often. In all that time, I have to say this is the dumbest idea ever. At least have a simple selection to turn it off. PS The chain link is supposed to turn it on and off, but Adobe didn't bother to make it actually work. Click it and see. It does nothing but change selection color. I just need a product that works. All these useless updates with tools for the ignorant masses has made PS a shadow of what really made it great. Ask someone who started using PS in 1993. 

That would be OK if it were s "scale" instead of "free transform".
But you're praising removal of "free" part.

I was waiting for that modification since a long time...
This change (No using shift as default for constraint), make more sense for me and it become as most of other software do.
It will be nice do, if the default setting(not using shift for constraint) was the same for "Vector''.

I was like what is wrong with shift+alt or shift not constraining for like minutes and googled and came to this topic.. This change was a LOL! 

"Pls dont give them any bright ideas they may just change the name to 'Scale Transform' and keep this backward idiocy they call a 'New and Enhanced Feature'"

Well, if they do that, we should immediately request they add a Free Transform feature like they had in previous versions.

We want this nonsensical change gone forever never to come back period.

The people who make a living with this software wont be using the mobile version so it doesnt make sense to burden us with this childish nonsense.
