Does anybody know how to do that?

When I open PS, the aspect ratio box doesn’t lock, when I use 'transform tool' I want to keep the aspect ratio of object most of the time and I have to lock the box every transform action. But if I can lock the box by default setting, I don’t have to lock the box every time and I can save time that’s what I need your help. Is that make sense?

There is no »transform tool« in Photoshop – the word »Tools« has a specific meaning in the context of Photoshop. 

 

And again: If you want the new features you have to upgrade.

Thank you and my bad, but at least you know what I'm trying to say.

I was keep researching and just figured out there are some script that I can control aspect ratio setting without upgrade.

Thank you again for the reply.

Is that the options bar for expanding the canvas? Your discription should also contain the actual Tool you are using.

 

IIRC (as I don't use PS all that much) the icon you have circled is to lock the right value to the left value. Change one, Auto change the other. Is that correct?

 

Not sure you can.

Lock aspect ratio for what?

The Crop Tool?

 

It is set BY original Image ratio, IIRC.

    I suspected the original poster might be talking about »Maintain aspect ratio« as it applies to Edit > Free Transform. 

    Maybe they can post to clarify.
