Pivot and scale around anchor point

Another thing you could do is to use the Ellipse tool. Alt+Shift drag a circular path out from the desired pivot point so that it completely encloses the image , and save the path. You can then load the path as a selection, and then Free Transform the pixels. If you wanted multiple pivot points, you could make several circular paths, and then, after transforming the pixels, make the other paths active, and Edit > Transform Path > Again (Shift + Control + T).

Ok thanks! ill be sure check out the suggestions area also

But one should first check if an existing one on the subject exists and add one’s support there if it does – otherwise the »votes« might get split and dilute the indication of an existing demand.

Also is it possible to move the pivot to current mouse location? wherever the mouse currently is when the "pivot to mouse" function is activated, the pivot will be moved directly under the current location of the mouse.

P.S. If all of theses questions sound a bit in-depth its because I come from using Blender 3D which has an absurd amount of detailed functions which go beyond most normal programs so I'm not really expecting such functionality but its still worth to ask.

Ok thanks! also is there a way to uniform scale without grabbing an edge? for example currently I want to uniform scale a picture from zoomed in view but I would have to first zoom out to grab and edge to drag it.

I'm using uniform scale by pressing Shift and grabbing an edge to scale but it scales based on the adjacent edge. I need it to uniform scale based on the set Pivot point.

Also the Pivot point resets itself after transform is turned off, when I set the pivot point, it moves back to default center, How can I make the pivot point permanent.

You cannot by default.

Edit: Workarounds might be adding near-invisible pixels to centre the pilot point or centering the intended pivot point in the Smart Object (adding Canvas where necessary) …
