Oh we gotta get you on the latest version of Photoshop... you are so missing out.  The application has really evolved since then. 

 

Example CONTENT AWARE FILL is finally working the way it was intended.  SKY REPLACEMENT is amazing and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

 

I know you may have your reason to stick to the older version of Photoshop.  But in the end having the latest version will really help you out.  Plus when you subscribe to the Cloud you get all the new updates... and support is guaranteed.  Whereas, older versions of any software lose support after awhile and many new computers will not run older versions of software.

That's not the question, tho...

Either way, idw a newer version as this version fulfills my needs without consuming too many resources as I have a low spec pc.

What do you want to do? 

A plain Free Transform (Edit > Free Transform)?

Then why alt? 

Shouldn’t ctrl-T be the default keyboard shortcut?
