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

Yep totally agree. It's change for the sake of change and has messed with every single user's muscle memory. Whoever decided this needs a long hard think about what they have done. 

terrible decision. Why not take all the other settings and make them do the complete opposite of what they've done for many years? Sounds like a great idea right!? Nope.

I agree with you once again but why you for the next time create new post instead of answering in subtheard that answer should belong too? 🙂 Probably that's mistake but if intentional then okey 😉

CS6 is good to keep around as an emergency backup when you have problems with the primary app or maybe need some esoteric backwards compatibility. 

That's why I kept CC2018 when I was pushed into upgrading to CC2019. New software ALWAYS goes on probation. Damn good thing I did, too. Needed Adobe techs to root around and fix settings so I could open the new stuff in CC2018, but everything seems to be back to normal now that I am rid of CC2019.

I thought the same yestarday, but those users had to still have CS6 (that I stil use only, thoug have buggy newest one). It is generally still the same Photoshop, we could live with. But I think that wouldn't be enohg as CS6 is at bottom of their Ps releases, so we are still stuck to CC program.

A lot of these so-called smart filters etc don't seem to reliably or consistently perform as advertised, it's almost as if they're one-trick ponies that don't behave predictably outside the scripted demo that I've seen repeated verbatim at product launch demonstrations.

This drives me nuts.

It's like a car building the clutch in the middle.

I think, they want us crying here together in a closed room so nobody takes a notice.

There are now many reviews out on many sites about the new CC2019 features. If you comment there in the open blogs, this reach many more people so there can read about, check it, an discuss about it.

Maybe Adobe would react slightly quicker than.

If 500,000 users go back to cs6 for three months while cancelling their subscriptions will have a HUGE (approx $10mil per mth) impact on their bottom line - I bet we will have an update within the first three weeks with all the 2019 bugs fixed and within the next month all the years old issues attended to.

I am prepared to fire up cs6 tomorrow if neccessary. heck, I still even have cs5 32bit running on windows 7 for times when I need some old plugins.

But. But. But... They have to do SOMETHING with my $53.00 a month that they suck out of my wallet. Before moving to subscription there was some corporate motivation to put out a good product because a crappy release could affect their bottom line. Now there's no reason at all and this is exactly what a lot of people predicted and why so many were so vociferously against subscriptions.

Slower development cycles lead to releasing better, more reliable software.

Enough with this planned-obselescence crap already!
