Photoshop 22.5.0 proportional scaling no longer works?

[Eugene Reisch]

So, proportional scaling used to be non-defualt (you used to have to hold shift to scale proportionally)

Then they changed it so proportional scaling WAS the default... and I got used to it.

But now (PS 22.5.0) it's NOT default anymore. You have to hold shift again,

There's an option in 'preferences > general' to toggle on/off 'Use Legacy Free Transform' but that doesn't seem to have any effect

Anyone know what's going on?

I got used to having thing scale proportionally by default and would now like it back

Just click the the link icon to enable it. It will remeber your setting after that. That's all.

Oh my god thank you so much!! I struggled with this for an hour and never noticed that little icon. You saved me!!
