SHOW TRANSFORM CONTROL missing at the top

[saml25]

It used to display here. Now i have to click the gear in order to access it. Can somebody help?

Since this is a change at the program level, I don't know of a way to bring it back other than to downgrade to an earlier version that has it. I think you could get used to the extra step of clicking on the gear and checking the box there when you need it. Some Tools have a "Legacy (old way) Mode", but I don't see it here.

You could place a feature request here:

Thank you! I was not aware that was part of a program update. I thought I clicked something.

With Photoshop version 25.12 update, the "Show Transform Controls" is back to the original location

Photoshop 26.9 appears to have done away with the Show Transform Contrls option again 😞

The Move Tool automatically triggers the Free Transform option from the Edit Menu and there's no way of deactivating it while the Move Tool is selected.

Anyone find a fix for this on PS 26.9?

@Paulo-SPIRIT disable this option in the preferences and restart Photoshop

@Ged_Traynor That worked! Thanks a lot 🙂
