Clicking ALT while in Free-Transform distorts the image

[hubertpires]

The "ALT" button when I use free transform is applying distortion to the object instead of resizing it centered, as it did before. The same applies to the CTRL function.
I can't find any keyboard shortcut that brings back the function I want.

I also checked "Use Legacy Free Transform" and it does nothing...

Hi, if legacy free transform option doesn't work (have you restarted photoshop and checked if the option was selected?) I think you have a problem with the preferences. Please try to reset the preferences:

Done that and it doesn't work.

You can also try to completely reinstall photoshop:

I will try this, thanks

We need to see a screenshot that includes the options bar after you use Ctrl+T for Free Transform so we can see the settings and better assist.

Is there a reason you are using Photoshop 2020 instead of 2022 and have launched it only 4 times?

Don't know, maybe I installed an older version. I installed it one week ago, and noticed that bug.
