Scaling text & images

Hello Guys...

...I am scaling text and images in CC and have noticed that I have to press SHIFT in order to scale either.

I thought that the latest Photoshop CC lets me adjust both of these (in scale) by simply using the "corners"

and not need to hold down the shift key?

Could someone put me right on this, please?

Hi @phil180

Adobe gives us a choice. After you start the Transform, look in the options bar. There is a link icon inbetween Width and Height. If it's pressed, the controls are linked and will work together.

On a side note, it's a best practice not to scale text, but to change the typesize instead.

Thank you for your reply....

....I got onto Adobe, and it seems there was a bug in the system and they had to do a system reset!

Thanks Jane x

Hi @phil180

I'm glad it's fixed for you, but I'm curious — did you call Adobe after you checked the Link button and Preferences or before?
