Photoshop 2019 maintain aspect ratio on SHIFT key inconsistent

On the new 2019 update the Free Transform tool now has fixed aspect ratio on scale set to default and you hold the SHIFT key to scale non-uniform.

This would be fine if it was always the case.  The problem is that it is not the case on vector objects, the use of the SHIFT key is reversed.

 

Unfortunately it would seem that smart objects are treated as vector objects so when editing a document that has a mix of normal raster layers and smart object layers it can get very confusing when you come to scale the layers.  The raster layers don't use shift to constrain aspect and the smart object layers do use shift to constrain the aspect.

 

If scaling is going to be fixed aspect ratio by default that is fine but please make this consistent throughout all objects in the software.

    Hi

    You can revert to the legacy transform method

    New and enhanced features | Latest release of Photoshop CC

    Take a look at this bit

    How do I turn off the new proportional scaling by default behavior while transforming layers?

    Here's how - we tell Adobe we are removing our subscriptions - and going back to Adobe CS6 unless they actually listen to their professional users of their software to what works for us.  They will only listen these days if it hurts their shareholders profits.

    You CANNOT have the SHIFT key in InDesign and Illustrator and then go to Photoshop and NOT use the SHIFT KEY.

      I still use CS6 EXTENDED as I can't deal with bugs of CC releases. But if we all move to CS6 they are going to leave only CC!

      i haven't found Photoshop too buggy - except that the actual user interface doesn't stay with the images - it works once if i delete preferences then goes screwy again.

      Adobe Acrobat is full of bugs - crashes constantly.

      But I have found there are many crazy decisions being made by Adobe - they must be by people who don't even touch the software. Probably cost cutting and taking advice from someone straight out of Uni – instead of their seasoned professionals.

      Top 3 major issues for me are:

      • Using comments in Adobe Acrobat – to tick the check box - is now a 3 step process - madness!

      • Tools have all been moved around in Illustrator - had to workout myself they are changeable (thank goodness) - no help when I asked Adobe.

      • Adobe Business Catalyst - made redundant - crazy!

      I am at the point if Quark or someone from the past makes a come back with a similar suite I will move straight over. I am a loyal 20 years plus Adobe lover - but I feel they don't seem to interested in their users anymore, so I am becoming less interested in paying a crap load of money easy month for software that isn't suiting Graphic Designers needs.

      But that's similar story with too many corporations now - only care about the money.

        The MOST STUPID change Photoshop have made in the 15 years since I've used it!

        So I need to use shift to keep proportion in LIGHTROOM, Indesign, and Illustrator, but no longer use it in Photoshop - something that is second nature.

        I can't imagine how that feature made it through - dumb!

            I have to say this is the most ridiculous and confusing change to any product I have used in my entire life. Things change, I get it, but to not have simple control consistency with different types of objects and different apps (photoshop & illustrator for example) is an complete and utter shambles.

            Whoever is responsible for this, and whoever let it get through Adobe's testing, should be fired. Absolutely shocking, I'm rapidly losing confidence in Adobe's decision making ability.

            ps. Why the heck should I have to edit config and text files to fix setting. (Massive fail)

              Adobe should definitely add the ability to have Shift as a preference. Most of us that have been in the field are probably the actual subscribers to these programs, but the updates seem more and more to cater to people without working experience or in-depth know how on these programs. Overall, the 2019 update is clunky. Change is good, but these releases just seem bloated and unnecessary at this point.

                Years of muscle memory down the toilet. Who in the UX department thought that this would be a good idea without a preference setting?

                This is what we get from a monopoly, what they think is best for the user.

                  "Years of muscle memory down the toilet"

                  Yup, pretty much this! What is this, Powerpoint? In fact, I just opened Illustrator to make some tweaks to a PSD file and wouldn'tchya know it, AI still uses the "classic" hold-shift control. I could almost get used to the change if it was consistent across all applications.

                    Apologies for the Rant.

                    After using design applications since 1993, the shift key should constrain aspect ration.

                    ADOBE? Why mess with such a fundamental across many many applications and vendors. Stop it!

                    Stop pandering to new users and support the base.

                    Yes I can spend 15 minutes messing around trying to find the preference, or re-write my brain and use the new preference. But you're wasting my billing time. Stop it.

                    Rant over.

                      How is this the default behavior?? Why is there not a simple checkbox to revert this back to normal?? Isn't holding shift to scale proportionally almost standard behavior?

                        Anyone solve this? For non-developers like me? I am a graphic designer and I cannot work without being able not re-size/scale properly. Do I have to just un-install the latest version and put the old one back on? thanks

                          That's what I had to do. Even the developer work-around wouldn't work for me so I'm back on CC 2018

                          This isn't a fix, this is a workaround for developers.

                          I don't have access to the administrator password as I'm a freelancer, working on different Macs every week.

                          This is not fixed. This needs to be a preference checkbox
