Question

Photoshop reference manual?

Recently I was trying to understand Layer Transform Properties and the last user reference PDF manual I could find, from 2019, had a picture that looked different from the one in my 2022 version of Photoshop CC.  So I tried to find newer documentation and instead I found a thread saying that Adobe doesn't make user  reference manuals anymore.

... so without a reference manual, how DO we look up stuff like this? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Adobe replaced the PDF manuals with online user guides a long time ago

I personally google questions like this or use 3rd party teaching resources. Most people here have favourite online Photoshop teachers or tutorials.

I'm looking for a reference manual, not a user guide.  In this case  I want to know how to look up Layer Properties Transform to understand how that dialog box works.     I don't want tutorials -  I want to look up specific features or dialog boxes.

The 2019 1017-page guide that I linked to in the post you referenced is the last one that Adobe created. Nothing exists that matches the description of what you say you are looking for.

 

Can you post an image of the dialog box you are calling "Layer Properties Transform"?
