When transforming an object for example to see how much transformation is needed compared to the sketch from the client. I need to move the transformation object to the side and then undo too see the difference in scale. When pressing apple-z twice the transformation is set to where I started the process and I need to start over. This has never been the case in earlier versions of Photoshop.

Is Eartho correct?  Is that the behavior you're having an issue with?  It has been there for several releases now...

Thanks,

i think you're asking for undo/redo behavior instead of multi-undo?

edit>keyboard shortcuts>legacy undo

I could use that, too. With or without FT being a bit buggy.

I guess that in previous versions of Photoshop, there wasn't an undo to an adjustment while using the Free Transform tool. Can't recall it ever being a frustration in the past but over the last month I've had several instances where I was using Free Transform, I had the cursor hovering over the corner handle, could see the correct cursor icon and then when I went to scale I got a skew (or possibly distort) result, since CMD Z doesn't do anything, the only action was to cancel out completely or apply the changes and then CMD Z. And since I was using Free Transform and stringing several adjustments at once it was something that stood out to me as a new issue. Now the issue of Free Transform being buggy MAY have been fixed because as I'm typing this I can't get the issue to replicate but still got me thinking that having history/save states during Free Transform could be a useful feature.
