Text and Image layers duplicating/ creating copies when resizing it

[Rebeca5E47]

Hola Adobe community, 

When I go to resize an image or text the whole layer copies, making a whole new seperate layer. How do I stop this from happenning? I want to be able to resize without it making a new layer. 

Thank you!

Please provide a description (and screenshots) of what you are actually doing. 

How are you instigating the transformation etc.?

Hi, 

Okay this is what I mean.  I click on a layer, then on the keyboard I press option, command, t, then the layer dublicates. 

How do I stop the dublicating from happening? It slows down the workflow

Why do you click option? 

The default keyboard shortcut for Edit > Free Transform is cmd-T.
