More problems since updating to PS 2021.

Once I place an image (png, jpg, etc), I cannot resize it. I used to be able to select it and have the option to drag the corners to resize, but that option is no longer available. I have to delete the image and bring it in from my external source all over again if I want to change the size.

Is there a way to revert back to PS 2020? I've had nothing but problems since updating.

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

Make sure you have "Show transform controls" checked in the options bar at top.

I recently upgraded Ps and this happened, samesame. Then luckily an error msg appeared saying theres not enough memory RAM to transform the layer. Bingo! Went into Prefs > Performance, up’d the default by another 5gb n viola...have to play with this a bit yet, worked. Good luck out there! INJOY

If you're looking for a quick and easy way to resize images (png, jpg, etc.), check out mbtokb.net. It's an online tool that simplifies the resizing process without needing to re-upload your images. Give it a try!

Please help. I read this entire thread.
* I have the latest updates. Show Transform Controls Enabled.

* I recently reinstalled the app.

This morning it worked fine. Saved PDF file. Saved a PNG file. Closed Photoshop.
An hour later, reopen file and now I can not resize any objects or images again. I have closed the app and still the same issue.

Is there a Preference setting that can prevent this from happening?
