free transform - Warping option is gone in Beta ?!

[Jann Lipka]

OSX / Ventura / Ultra 128Gb Ram etc. 
beta 2405

While trying to free transform 
- in release PS version - warp ing is possible - in Beta 
Warp option is gone  - see attached 
Also  HUGE " share " blue blob  are covering interface ( what is under there ? )  - How can I get rid of that .

Can you recheck your version number.  The current version is 25.3.0 20231118.m.2405 

I am using Windows 11 and not seeing a problem with FT > Warp.  There has been a long thread about Free Transform in this forum, but I can't find it now.

As stated I have the latest version 25.3 ( m 2405 ) on OSX
You are reaching  warp directly from edit - transfrom - warp 
that works here as well ( IOW no problems ) 
Try  choosing edit - free transform 
here "warp option " button is gone in beta.
(see attached  optionsbar screenshot  ) 
( regular free transform with handles works as expected on my box )

Could it be in the Beta version that the Share button in the Tool Options Bar is hiding the Warp button?

What happens if you dock the Tool Options Bar?

[Trevor.Dennis]

I only ever use Ctrl T to access Free Transform, and right click for Warp and Perspective, or Ctrl drag handles for Skew and Distort. I am not seeing any changes doing that with 25.3  Am I still missing something?

[Jann Lipka]

Unfortunately the Blue "share" blob is moving together with optionsbar 
and hiding the same area 
( regardless if it is docked or not ) 

[Jann Lipka]

The issue is lack of "warp" in option bar while doing " free transform " 
that option is in release version of PS ( as seen in my screenshot in original post ) 

[Trevor.Dennis]

What is the pixel res of your monitor and what do you have the UI set to?

I had to narrow the workspace to about 1300 pixels wide before I lost the Warp icon.  

Does setting Allow Narrow Options Bar in preferences help?

I ahave Apple Studio Display 5k 
( and second 32 inch screen that is 4k 

But ...
Drumroll _ checking for 
preferences -
Workspace -
Allow Narrow Options Bar 
Fixed this issue . 
( thanks ) 
Now I'm wondering why is this option not on from the beginnig:-)
