Anchor-point in transform tool

Hi,

I have Mac OS Mojave since a week ago and updated today Ps to version 20.0.0.

I don't get an anchor point using the (free) Transform tool, and (therefore) the tool for setting the anchor point is all greyed out. Haven't seen this problem registered as known issues at Adobe, so therefore this post.

Regards,

Micke

    If you invoke a Free Transform via cmd-T there is a checkbox in the Options Bar (»Toggle reference point«), have you tried that?

    Otherwise please clarify further.

    OMG I 100% thought it was greyed out and wasn't an option! I didn't realize the box next to it was a checkbox. I just spent 5 minutes trying all different configurations to click on the other one. 😅

    What are you talking about (what with there being no »Free Transform Tool« in Photoshop)?

    And have you bothered perusing the »What’s New« of the documentation?

    Why respond like that? Your tone is so unhelpful. 

    He is talking about the movable anchor point when you use the free transform tool. Its not there for him. Why bother responding if you are going to respond like an older brother who had a bad day at reform school.
