The changes to Warp in Photoshop 22.5.0 seem disappointing to me.

As far as I can tell no one asked for the 90˚-angle-locking of the bezier handles of non-corner points so the attempted implementation seems like an obvious failure and I think the »Implemented«-marking of the Feature Request should be reverted.

»This feature has been implemented in Photoshop 2020 (version 21.0).«

A reminder: The feature request was implemented wrong and needs fixing.

I just had a situation again where the additional grid lines would have been useful if the feature had been implemented correctly and without the unrequested 90˚-angle-locking of the handles.

So I wonder: Is this being worked on?

Yes, Christoph, ideally the mesh would respond identically to a bezier path being manipulated with the pen tool. Corner nodes should be convertible to rounded and vice versa.

Unfortunately the new Warp features seem to be implemented in a somewhat nonsensical fashion; apparently the angle of the handles of non-corner-points snaps to 90 ̊ when any one of a point’s handles is moved. 
This seems to completely miss the point for what the Warp should be able to achieve with regard to emulating the distortions of photographed surfaces (edit: especially when compared to Illustrator’s Envelope Distort).

It's no good guys, for some reason they have just implemented teh warp tool from illustrator rather than improve the transform warp tool in photoshop. You will notice that you cannot adjust points on the outer edges without them spinning and warping areas you don't want to warp. They have added four bezier points instead of two which creates a warp in all directions instead of being able to control the shape as previous.
They have also gotten rid of the guide lines on the default mode which are essential to a standard warp - if you want guide, you get extra points which you didn't ask for.

I don't know how to make it appear as legacy mode, but I am using 2018 until they fix it.
Once again Adobe throws out the old, but this time implements old tech (illustrator warp) to solve a problem which has been clearly documented and plenty of forward thinking posts to give advice of what is useful for the people who actually use this program.

Thanks for nothing photoshop team, for getting my hopes up that you listened to anyone in the forums at all.

It only took 8 years, but I just want to say, thank you Adobe – at last!
