Sorry if this has been asked before, I have tried searching for the answer, but it's alluding me!

Since the update I cannot find how to switch on the handle guides when resizing. I have to try and guess where the edge of the image is until the cursor changes shape.

Can any help tell me how to switch the guides back on?

Thanks

Go to Photoshop Preferences, General, "Reset Preferences on Quit". After quitting Photoshop and relaunching, transform controls appear as they should. You'll lose all of your Photoshop preference settings, so you'll need to go through all your preferences settings and put them back the way you like them. I suggest making screen shots of all the different preference settings before you reset them to make it easier to set it back up the way you want.

To reset : In Photoshop CC, Adobe has added a new option for resetting the preferences. The option is found in the Preferences dialog box. To open the dialog box, on a Windows PC, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen, choose Preferences, and then choose General.

There seems to be some "conflicting" possible settings that are not worked out behind the scenes. It seems resetting to Adobe defaults as a starting point seems not just a "nice feature' but a necessary one for Photoshop.

I spent a significant amount of time trying to figure out how to sort this. I am very greatful for this thread.
