Free Transform tool not working

[64784228]

I cant get the Free Transform tool to work in new 2019 Photoshop. cannot just stretch or squash an image. No control over unlocking ratio tool in top toolbar. 2018 works 2019 doesnt.

Please any suggestion. So far update has been very, very disappointing

Totally stupid change. Change it back please.

You replied to a thread from 2018 and things changed several years ago.

You can change the behavior back yourself in one of two ways:

• Preferences > General > Use Legacy Free Transform
  or
• After you choose Edit > Free Transform, click the Link icon inbetween the Width and Height controls. If the Link is enabled, the controls work in tandem. If it is off, they work separately.
