P: Free Transform/Distort tool inconsistency

[luciano13769]

Hello,

using the tool Free Transform (Ctrl+T) in the new version of Photoshop CC 2019 (release 20.0.0) on a Windows 10 64 bit PC, I'm not able anymore to move the handle of a selected area (using the Ctrl button) in a free mode, now I can move it along the vertical or horizontal ax only.

Which setting I have to change in order to have the same behavior of the tool as in Photoshop CC 2018 (release 19)?

Many thanks!!!

oh boi . . .


Speaking of the "Maintain aspect ratio" button, it would help alleviate this issue if it didn't LIE to us now.

Whether or not I've toggled it, and I'm dragging any of the 8 transform control points, PS just does whatever the $&$^%$ it wants.
It no longer honors that button for mouse input.
It DOES honor the "Maintain aspect ratio" button if entering values in the textboxes, however.

Considering this, it starts to feel more like a bug.



There IS a global toggle for making the transform reference point visible, during transform, in the toolbar (linked to the one in preferences), so sure - Why not one more for this?

Actually you can make magic file with magic text and it will be same as in CC2018 https://forums.adobe.com/message/10687200#10687200

Maybe this forum can't handle unicode color emoji?

The plot thickens . . .

[Kukurykus]

Okey I thought that is a quote as you repeated it in other post 😉 Probably that is not moderator, maybe if you pasted that to notepad, copied from that to here it could be displayed...

[Mathias17]

Jaro may be correct. Using color emojis might cause a bug in this forum.
That, or Chris Cox is trying to make me go (more) insane.

[Kukurykus]

Chris Cox is not active from years? What did you say he didn't like last time?

[Mathias17]

No wonder this place went to the dogs.

[Mathias17]

"What did you say he didn't like last time?"

What do you mean, Kukurykus? Are you referring to something I said in another thread somewhere? If so - not quite sure.

[Kukurykus]

I refered to that sentence. I have no idea what happened in past between you 😉

For years I have been able to draw a rectangle, convert it to a smart object, then use Transform Distort and drag the corners smoothly to the precise place I need them. After updating to the 2019 Photoshop, I go through the same process of creating a smart object from a rectangle, but when I try to use Transform Distort and move the corners, they jump around like they are snapping to something and I can never get them even close to the place I need them—even though snapping is turned off.

However, the Transform Distort works smoothly as expected to the rectangle BEFORE I convert it to a smart object. But AFTER it is a smart object, it doesn't work correctly.

I have the same bug (along with many others). I finally had to return to cc2018. The update is just not worth the headache and added time it takes to get a project completed

The Place command seems to have similar issues. I'm still trying to get used to it.

Solution: Holding shift down works with distorting smart objects as it did in the 2018 version. Thank you for the tip!
