Free Transform and the Shift Key in Photoshop

Learn how to maintain the proportions of content when resizing in Photoshop. Details below...

Free Transform now works differently in Photoshop. Holding down the Shift key is no longer required to maintain the aspect ratio while transforming. The old method can be reactivated using the "Use Legacy Free Transform" option within the General tab of the Photoshop Preferences. These preferences can be found under the Edit menu on Windows and the Photoshop menu on a Mac.

I’m so glad I found this channel, I thought I was going crazy . I prefer the original way of using the free transform tool 😃

Here 7 months later after re-install. Thank God!

I didn't even update anything... It suddenly changed...

Edit: it's not working... When I check that, the transform now scales _not in proportion_ both when I _hold shift_ and when I _don't hold shift..._
