Scaling Images with shift no longer works after update (20.0)

After updating to CC 2019, I am not longer able to scale images evenly simply by holding shift.

I went to keyboard shortcuts and found a "scale" shortcut that was unassigned, so i assigned it to "S" as it simply wouldn't let me assign shift:

Now it seems to only want to scale evenly and won't let me scale however I want simply by dragging the corner of the image. Sometimes it doesn't go evenly when I transform with Ctrl+T and scales evenly after I press S, but wont let me go back to scaling unevenly.

Any Ideas?

    It's a new feature. The old behaviour has been reversed. Default = proportional (constrain). Shift for non-proportional. Few people see any logic in this change.

    Plenty of forum posts on this

    The new behaviour can be disabled.

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

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

      TransformProportionalScale 0

    3. 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/

    If it wasn't broke, why did they fix it?!

      The SCALE feature does NOT work!  It is locked in proportion and does not allow flexibility.  HELP!

        Although I see (and have implemented) the text hack, I wanted to add my name to the growing group of incredibly frustrated users. The first rule of UI is you don't randomly change a behavior that has been the de facto standard for 20 years. Shift-constrain is the way virtually ALL programs work.

        I'm assuming the next time I upgrade PS my "PSUserConfig.txt" will not automatically migrate to the new install. So six months from now, I'll update Photoshop and be surprised that my system has reverted back to the "new" scale system. Then I'll be to busy and limp around with it for a few weeks, re-igniting my disappointment in Adobe for making this change. Finally, I'll take the time to manually go in and turn off this misguided "feature" again.

        *sigh* . Ahhh, progress.

          Photoshop 20.0.4 has just been released and Adobe is NOT listening to its users! What a surprise. They have not made any changes to deal with this issue. There needs to be a toggle for this behaviour in preferences at the very least.

            Hi,

            did anyone face this trouble? When I use a Free Transform (Ctrl+T or by Edit menu), holding the Shift button doesn't keep aspect ratio. I have to make sure that Lock Aspect Ratio in the Control Panel is On, itit takes some more attention than I'm ready to pay for this operation )

              Hi, Go to Edit>Preferences>Performance and enable Legacy Composting then reboot your photoshop.

              That's for compositing issues, not issues using the Transform tool.

                This is so STUPID and ANNOYING that i don't understand who could get that idea.

                EVERY iteration of Adobe programs brings more and more STUPID ideas that make work harder and less intuitive than before.

                Not only this is less intuitive, but the tool itself doesn't scale object from center as it used to be with shift.

                  Proportional scaling (without holding Shift) is now a default. Holding Shift while scaling now behaves in precisely the opposite manner, despite decades of precedent and the fact that every other application uses Shift-drag for proportional scaling.

                  Why? Who knows. This is easily one of the most unnecessary and counterintuitive changes Adobe has ever made.

                  Details and instructions for how to disable it are at the link below.

                    Thanks so much. I followed the instructions and got it fixed. Still seems silly its not a simple check box somewhere

                    The "AppData" folder was a hidden folder so I had to make is show up by going to "View" and checking "Hidden Items"
