P: Free Transform - ability to set Maintain Aspect Ratio as default

That's all that needed to be said! Great news, thanks!

It's on the request list - there's nothing more to say for now.

Chris, John, anyone?

Will you take a second to respond in some manner?

Good idea... 99% of all transformations use maintain aspect ratio. if you have a working day with 100 internet pictures, this would save time and concentration.
All recurring workflow processes could use shortened workflows by option (save JPG/TIFF as.... quality...comprimation). The image size window creates a time-robbing preview of the picture (must be made for beginners and is absolutely ennoying if you are under time pressure).

No, not MOST of the time but ALL of the time. When have you ever had a client ask you to distort their logo or product?!? This is the MOST frustrating issue with Photoshop and would make me the most happy if it changed. Please make it STICKY!

Simply making this STICKY would make EVERYONE happy! PLEASE, I thought this latest update might fix this CONSTANT problem for us design professionals! I am sick to death of having to click this button!

Is anyone listening to those of us using Photoshop since version 1.0?!?!?

If for no other reason to to make me shut up about this after a decade, can someone please explain why you refuse to add the ability for us to lock the maintain aspect ratio when using Free Transform or Scale?

Every other tool remembers their individual settings AND in fact, the Clone Sources panel even remembers your maintain aspect ratio settings!!! So why not the most important one?

Please just explain why you absolutely refuse to incorporate this?

Apparently adobe has already been a engineering thinking program with a CEO knows nothing about art but marketing, look how flash ends up with adobe. People most time need a picture scaling to main aspect, but adobe doesn't think so, while interested in adding trees flames and frames stuffed into a 2d app to make it a 2G fat freak.

Adobe, you going to do anything at all for this very basic request that shouldn't even have to be requested to begin with?

I mean honestly, how many people did you guys have in your test groups that weren't concerned with maintaining the ratio of their photos and wanted to distort them freely most of the time? This is just a no-brainer.

Oh, and if management deems it OK to provide a feature requested by the people buying thier product monthly now, see if it's not too much to ask that they allow you to fix this all the way back to CC 2014.

Please allow us to keep our preference on this. It gets really, really, really old having to select the tiny little link button every single time. Maintaining proportions of an image should be the default anyway.
