Using guides with the Skew tool

[bob wickham]

In the new version 20.0, when Skew is ON (Edit > Transform > Skew), dragging a new guide turns Skew OFF.
If the guide is already there, Skew works the way it use too.
Is this a new feature, or a bug?

[Chuck Uebele]

That unfortunately is a new behavior.

[Jeff Arola · Accepted solution]

Seems that behavior is due to the new Auto-Commit feature.

Hopefully adobe will allow users to turn that off in the future.

I'm having a similar issue and can't you pull out new guides while free transform is active in photoshop cc 2019. Any fixes Adobe?

[Jeff Arola]

I forgot to add to my previous post that it should work if you hold down the Ctrl key (win) or Cmd key (mac) while drawing out the guide.

Thanks Jeff

It works!

Any way of disabling the use if the command key to pull a new guide as in previous versions of PS?

[Chuck Uebele]

Trouble is, Jeff, if you draw out the guides while holding down the ctrl/cmd when transforming, the guide now disappears, when you commit the transform.

[Jeff Arola]

That's interesting as it doesn't seem to lose the guides here on the mac side.

I'll have to check on windows later or maybe it has to do with what kind of layer/object is being transformed.

[Chuck Uebele]

That's interesting, Jeff. I seem to recall someone from Adobe mentioning that the guides weren't suppose to be available during transform.

[bob wickham]

Why do they think it's okay to change the way something works, that people have been using in their workflow for years. Not happy.
