Scale Issue Since Update

Question

Hi All!When scaling an image or text, How do you stop the scaling tool from auto changing the opposite side to which you are trying to change? ie I am trying to make my text very short and very long through scaling however the tool automatically changes the side I am not trying to change to keep proportions. This has only started since the last update and I can't find where to turn it off!Thanks in advance &#128578;Nicole

Hi, You can revert it back to behave like old version.

Perform following steps.

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

To revert to the legacy transform behavior, do the following:

Use Notepad (Windows) or a text editor on Mac OS to create a plain text file (.txt).
Type the text below in the text file:

TransformProportionalScale 0
Save the file as "PSUserConfig.txt" to your Photoshop settings folder:
- Windows: [Installation Drive]:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019 Settings\
- macOS: //Users/[User Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC 2019 Settings/

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