Hi, I use Photoshop frequently and just updated to 2020 today. I immediately noticed that whenever a layer is selected with the bounding box showing, there is no visible difference between just having the layer selected and editing the layer in transform mode. In the previous version of PS, the bounding box would highlight and the line would become thicker to confirm it was being edited.
I tried resetting preferences, but there was no change. I can't seem to find if this is a new aesthetic update in 2020 anywhere. Anyone have any ideas on a way to fix this? Thanks.
I believe in CC 2019 The bounding box was changest to be a path bounding box older version used marching ants not paths lines. I'm on windows and see the pathe with transform scale.
Yes, it has the solid line or path line. In 2019, the bounding box still highlights or becomes a thicker path line when in transform mode. It basically goes from a 1 px line to a 1.5 px line to indicate visually it is being edited. It reverts back to a 1 px line once you hit enter or exit transform mode.
2020 stays a 1 px line regardless of being in transform mode or not. It's annoying for someone like me who is used to the visual indicator that it is being edited. It's probably an aesthetic choice someone made for 2020, not imagining it would influence how some people work.
HA ! i literally tried everyhting for hours to fix this. You know what it was??... a little box at the top of the workspace called "show transform controls". hahah... see attached pic
thank you this has been making me crazy. been looking for a solution to this fir months. it is so difficult to work moving between on so many layers having to hide the box manually every time...UGH
Oh dear lord, that was EXACTLY the problem, the tiny "show transform controls" box at the top, and it took me over one hour to solve the issue! THAT BOX SHOULD NOT BE AN OPTION, JUST LEAVE THE DANG THING ON!
