Interpolation setting missing with Free Transform

[alexjamesritchie]

Hi, I just updated to Photoshop cc 2019 and this setting which I use all the time is missing. Does anyone know how to get it back? I know you can set it from preferences for your entire document but it seems like a lot to do when I want to change it just for one transform.

All layer types or just some layer types. For example Shaper layer are vector layers. Fills are solid colors or patterns or gradients.  File Place feature transform not have this option. Editing a smart object layer associated transform with a transform does not have this option either.  Perhaps if you set Photoshop Transform Preferences before using transform.  Photoshop will use that preference.    I do that in my scripts when I transform smart object layer  I would like Bicubic to be used.  First I save the current preferences setting set the preference to bicubic, transform the layer then restore the saber setting.    Photoshop operation is not always consistent.  CC 2019 hit Transform hard all layers are no transformed in the same mannor.

Here is what I do in scripts to resize Smart Object layers to fill frames.

var userResampleMethod = app.preferences.interpolation;      // Save interpolation settings

app.preferences.interpolation = ResampleMethod.BICUBIC;    // resample interpolation bicubic

if (LWidth/LHeight<SWidth/SHeight) {                                        // Smart Object layer Aspect Ratio less the Canvas area Aspect Ratio

   var percentageChange = ((SWidth/LWidth)*100);                   // Resize to canvas area width

   activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(percentageChange,percentageChange,AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);

   }

else {

   var percentageChange = ((SHeight/LHeight)*100);                   // resize to canvas area height

   activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(percentageChange,percentageChange,AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);

   }

app.preferences.interpolation = userResampleMethod;                // Reset interpolation setting

I then add a layer mask to confine the smart object image layer to the shape of the frame.
