When I open an image in Photoshop Free Transform is on by default

I have recently upgraded to a new PC. When I open an image in Photoshop the free transform “blue border and handles” are on by default. Despite selecting another tool, or accepting/pressing Enter, I can’t get rid of them. This means I can’t run any Actions. I can rersize the image using the controls, but the borders/handles remain. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Zbysiu

    Could be a number of things. Start by unchecking these, with the Move tool selected:

     

    Next, go to View > Show and uncheck “Layer Bounds” (and maybe Smart Guides).

    Hi, and thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately, your suggestion didn’t work, but I had another idea - What if the loaded Actions were somehow corrupt? I recorded a simple resize Action and have tried it on several different image formats; DNG, JPEG etc, and it works. Just need to figure out what’s going on with my Actions. Apart from the Resize Action I recorded just now, only the default Actions are loaded. So, at a tangent to this, if I delete these Actions, can I reload them again?

    Hi, For some reason, despite Clearing All Actions, or Resetting All Actions, the default Actions simple don’t function. I have loaded a set of Actions from Tony Kuyper’s TK9 Plugin, and though I haven’t gone through each individual Action, those I have attempted have worked.

    I can’t remember when I last used any of the default Actions so I’m not too worried by their loss, but there is a slight niggle that there may be other problems down the line.

    Once again, thank you for all your assistance. Much appreciated.
