P: Transform rotate handle click zone is too small (for auto-commit change)

i think adding two small green/red buttons to the side of the transform frame would go a long ways towards solving this issue for all users. Preferences could disable, but for people who want/need an indicator for apply/cancel, the UI addition would help guide them

A single tap commit does seem nervous on a Pad. However whenever I try to double click with my pen, that's not easy either. It's usually too slow.

With music IOS apps, they don't bother porting one version to the other. They develop each version to it's strengths and weaknesses.

I've said this long ago, perhaps it is inevitable that more and more users move to Pads/Tablets. I still do not think 1000s of companies are overhauling PCs, re-training employees and re-structuring workflows anytime soon.

Considering the iPad is ALL touch, a single tap to commit would be devastating. I can't quite buy the iPad theory, although I can buy the idea it came up for as "beneficial" to future novice users.

My guess is that they are pandering to the tens, possibly dozens of future users who will make their living "working" in Photoshop on the upcoming "full" version of Photoshop for the iPad, many of those who will do so without a keyboard with an "Enter" key.

Sadly, apparently 3 ways to commit a transform wasn't enough for a large portion of their survey respondents, or whomever they study for the demographics reports companies these days live and die by. I don't get it, either, but I'm okay if clicking on a layer or new tool commits the action. I can live with some compromise.  I'm not okay with clicking on the canvas to commit—under any circumstances. With 3 other options for committing still available to us, there's no reason either text OR transforms need to be committed ON the canvas.

But I don't think they changed it just because they wanted to. I'm more of the view that  "studies" showed a lot of people found all the other ways just too difficult or time-consuming for them. (sigh)

Yeah, but let's use an analogy.   I have a car and the maker has replaced the windshield with frosted glass because frosted glass has come back in style, though I don't recall asking for frosted glass.        The manufacturer says, "well, roll down your window and stick your head out and you'll be able to see fine again."

So instead, we have to waste time online looking for a workaround.   Then, with workaround in hand, we Search for, not find, figure out we have to create, and save in the correct folder a config file, enter in a line of text, and restart Photoshop.     Measure with a micrometer. Mark with chalk.. Cut with an axe.

It's DisableOnCanvasClickToCommitForComplexTransformations  My emphasis.  And IMO, it should be for any transformation. Not just "complex" ones. I see no reason for them to determine what is a complex transformation and what is a "simple one" that we won't mind performing again if we accidentally click outside the box. So they're halfway to fixing it.

I didn't notice the above method to disable this. Glad it's there.

This new behavior is insane. Put your pointer too close to the object and you accidentally rotate. Put your pointer too far from the object and you accidentally cancel the transformation. Shame on you, Adobe.

In case Adobe a) forgot that no one likes the click-commit or b) is hoping that everyone forgets that this is a terrible workflow, I'm here to bump this after losing a lengthy Transform because I clicked 101 pixels too far from my selection.         I'm going to go peel the barcode stickers off my fruit now.
