OPT + SHIFT Resize proportionately from centre

[csscms]

Hi There, Can Photoshop please use the OPT + SHIFT shortcuts properly?

e.g. Consider the attached image where the top layer is off the artboard. Currently, resizing in Photoshop is a multi-step process: scrolling, zooming, resizing yada yada.

But if OPT + SHIFT worked the way it does in InDesign, Illustrator, AE and other apps, we could resize the layer from the top/bottom handles. Currently, grabbing top/bottom/side handles (not corners) distorts the image even when shift is held which is a daily frustration sorry. And yes, it's been like this for years!

Sure, you guys probably impliment requests based on upvotes etc but please, would it be possible to just fix well-established, foundational interactions like this? We use them all day, every day, in every app and when one app doesn't play ball, it creates constant friction. It doesn't have to be this way - right?

Cheers, Ben

YES BUT DOES IT WORK FOR YOU OR IS IT A BUG!

Please see my earlier comment "I beleive it could be a bug. I can run it up the flagpole internally and see what I get back. Glad it works for you if you turn off the feature but it shouldn't conflict with using Shift as it does."

With Use Legacy Transform OFF I can use Shift+Opt on the handles. With it ON they break - hence its most likely a bug.

@Kevin Stohlmeyer Was there any word on this?

It's still a daily (often hourly) frustration sorry.

I haven't heard back on any prioritization. The feedback I received is you have a workable solution for now as a workaround using the preference.

You guys want me to toggle a preference each time I resize from the centre? That isn't a workable solution, that's crazy sorry.

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

Its not a solution - just a temporary workaround for now until the fix is deployed.
