CC 2019 Photoshop resize proportion problem

Hi. I used the edit - free transform tool with the layer selected and the box to resize shows up over to the side of the layer, so it is not letting me grab it to resize. What am I doing wrong?

This is so ridiculous that Adobe would make this change to something so basic as a proportional 'transform' - 

I do not understand what is happening to the company - change for the sake of change is NOT good

While it is an extremely annoying change in CC2019, to do the restrain-proportions resize, when you place or free-transform a layer, click on the resize boxes to resize proportionally with ONLY the ALT key (or without if centering is not important). If you press SHIFT, it will NOT keep the proportions, sadly. 

Basically, just don't hold down SHIFT while resizing and it'll do what it's supposed to do.

I hope this helps some people. 

I was having the same issue, but following "Edit > Preferences > Performance and Check Legacy Compositing" resolved the issue.

Hi there,

It's a 3d element?

Hi,

Can you please try these methods.

1: Transform proportionally by defaul

Photoshop now transforms most layer types (such as pixel layers, type layers, bitmaps, Placed Smart Objects) proportionally by default. Shapes and paths, that is vectors, still transform non-proportionally by default.

When transforming a layer, you no longer need to hold down the Shift key while dragging a corner handle to resize a selected layer to constrain its proportions. Anytime you drag a corner handle during transform and move it, the layer resizes proportionally. Holding down the Shift key now resizes non-proportionally when you drag a corner handle during transform.

To resize a layer proportionally during transform, do the following:

1. Select the layer(s) you want to resize in the Layers panel.
2. Press Command + T (Mac) / Control + T (Win). Alternatively, choose Edit > Free Transform.
3. Drag a corner handle on the bounding box to resize the layer.
4. Commit the changes.

2: Go to Edit > Preferences > Performance and Check Legacy Compositing

If mentioned above method works for you that will be great.

Otherwise can you please reset photoshop preferences and reboot photoshop.
