Note: This new way of Free Transform is for Raster-Based Graphics (non-vector such as photos). When using Shape Layers, the legacy behavior of holding the Shift Key is required. There are other instances such as using the Crop Tool, where you will also need to hold the Shift Key to scale proportionally.

To free transform proportionally, simple drag and scale
Hold the option key to scale from the center

To commit changes:
1. Press Return
2. Press Check Mark in Menu Bar
3. Click anywhere outside

To Skew while in Free Transform: Hold Cmd Key and grab center handle on the top or sides.
To Transform in Perspective: Home Cmd Key and grab corners.

Right/Ctrl + Click for Transform Options (Skew, Warp, Rotate, Flip…)

Thank you so much for this, I could NOT figure out what was wrong and actually reverted to using an older install of photoshop, you've saved me!

[ImKibitz]

Simply thank you so much for including the extra part on how to revert back.
Really appreciate the video bud!

[gcprost]

Thanks. I was looking for the centre of rotation.

[janikdk]

Much appreciated! I changed it back to legacy behavior. - I understand the reason behind the change, but as long as either Illustrator or InDesign have the same functionality - you are going nuts!

[GBLynden]

Thank you! After watching 10 other videos, yours is the only one that addresses this.

[MrsD]

Thanks for the tip in the end, mate! It's been 20 years of PS usage for me (yes, started with ver 3), imagine my hand crooked and glued to all these shortcuts.
