Hi everyone !

hope you will understand my frustation.

In this new photoshop CC Nov. 2019. The resize tool is tottally differrent from the oldest versions.

We can't understand why in hell y'all had to make it like that, its been a thousand year (it's just because of my frustation) we are using adobe products.

And they all work the same way (Hold the SHIFT key to keep the proportion resizing objects).

I'm a huge adobe fan and for real (for real) y'all had no reason to change these particular option and the worst is, all the other programs are okay.

Y'all better fix that out

hope you will understand my frustation.

As others have said, you can switch back the behaviour in Preferences - General - Use legacy free transform but to do that you will need to ensure you have updated to version 20.0.5 released a few weeks ago.

Adobe Product Development and support is not going to change. I have been using Photoshop for 20+ years.

New Features in Photoshop 2019

https://digitalsynopsis.com/design/adobe-photoshop-cc-2019-new-features/

2 major pain points in Photoshop have always been the Undo (ctrl/cmd+Z) which only went back one step and the resize handles that had to be dragged while holding the Shift key. Other software doesn't work that way. So it was time for Photoshop to get in step with other products. I realize change is hard at first. But the more you use it, the easier it gets so I have resisted the temptation to use legacy preferences. But it's there for people who want it.
