- Learn how to bring back the old way to scale objects in Photoshop!

TLDR - Edit, Preferences, General, Use Legacy Free Transform :)
This tutorial goes over how to bring back the legacy behavior in Photoshop where you had to hold shift to scale proportionally. For whatever reason Adobe decided to change this behavior in a somewhat recent update to the tool, and if you're a long time Photoshop user to me, it's pretty hard to break old habits which makes that change frustrating.
Luckily changing the behavior back to needing to hold shift in order to scale proportionally inside Photoshop is quite easy to do! Hope this is helpful.

I want the exact opposite. Today I was editing something and all of a sudden the scaling was acting like this setting was enabled but it wasn't and now I can't change it. I have to hold shift no matter if the option is enabled or not. I'm very new to Photoshop so it's alien to me to have to hold shift to rescale shit
The same thing happened to me and I can't seem to find an answer. Did you manage to find out what happened and reverse the setting to not having to hold shift in order to scale proportionally? Thanks!
@@agathagb1502 I had the same issue, just uncheck the "maintain aspect ratio" in the transform panel and it should go back to normal, at least for me it did.
@@arditgjikolli4523 thank you !
@@arditgjikolli4523 where is the transform panel?
@@sjorsvanrijsbergen256 hi, when you transform (ctrl+T), you see a chain on there, you can try to click on that and see what happens. I hope that helps.
OMG!!! This is super helpful. I've been struggling with this for a long time, cuz I often need to switch between PS and AI, and the AI SHIFT still works in the old way. Thank you so much~~~
Exactly. The question is WHY??!! I’m actually annoyed that they called it ‘legacy’. The default should be the standard that they set themselves. Thanks for sharing.
It was a strange move to me, especially since Illustrator continues to work the way that Photoshop used to, thus causing potential user confusion when transitioning the tools.
Thsi change they made drove me crazy for years. THANK YOU for showing us how to fix it.
Thank you!! This has been driving me bonkers. I also use figma where you DO have to use shift to scale proportionally so this is a life saver.
hi how i turn it on? im using mac
the "legacy free transform" is uncheck
but i doesnt transform propotionally
pls help
So helpful! I hated the "new" way. Thanks!!!! :)
Thank you a million
My tolerance for photoshop has returned 🙌
Success!
Perfection! Adobe makes the dumbest "upgrades"! Thanks!
Very very very helpful. I've been working around an year with the new controls but never felt comfortable as in the Illustrator these controls were NOT changed so I always had to double think if I am working in the Illustrator or in Photoshop.
Thank you so much.
OMG THANK YOU saved me life!
Hi, may I know how do I find the legacy transform in Photoshop CC 2019 ? Couldn't find it as per your video guide and it's annoying to always encounter the reversed behavior where holding SHIFT key will enable the free transform. Thanks
You just make my day! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - WTH are they doing? I'm still trying to figure out why "Select" "Color Range" won't select the right color range. and Thank you again
Thank you so so much for this tutorial !
It helps me a lot !
THANK YOU!!!...GaWw...why do they always seem to change something that works!? Ughh!!!...Thank you so much for your very much needed guidance!
Thank you thank you thank you
Legend, thank you
I am a new user. What if it switches legacy even if I didnt check the box? I prefer the new version
Better not get used to it. Literally every other applications use the logic "Transform Uniformly if SHIFT is pressed, otherwise Transform Freely". Literally every other: Illustrator, Figma, After Effects, Publisher, Word and millions of them. Adobe decided to change this just by implementing unnecessary feature, they tried to fix what is unbroken.
I understand, it is your personal choice to like or not to like this, but you will feel the annoyance and hard time to get used to if you decide to work on another application.
yessssssssss, thank you!!!!
Happy to help! :D
thankyou so much
Thankyou man
thank you
Thank you! You're a lifesaver! Unbelievable.
The inconsistencies between Adobe products is one of life's greatest riddles.
Tank you! :D
thank you this was exactly what i was looking for
do you know how do i disable generative expand when cropping?
Very helpful, thank you. 😊
thank you so much. you save me today.
how do u maintain scaling down or up in the middle of the transform anchor points without distorting the object/text? Thank you!
I have the same problem. If anyone knows the answer here, please help
Thanks lot
Using PS 2020. Not working at all.
Thank you!
really helpful thanks
Thanks 🙏
T H A N K YOU!
Thanks for sharing this tip. I do think it was an annoying switch but I kinda get it. For a new person using photoshop, the new way is more logical
Yes, I think it's all about what you're used to. It's jarring if you were very used to the old way, but if you're used to the new way, then that's what's "normal." :)
thanks!!!
for illustatör?
i love you..
Change for sake of change. WHY? if its not broke dont fix it
Fun fact: I'm here bcus i got used to not having to holding shift anymore but now i accidentally disabled it somehow and i'm trying to put the new feature back XD
the real mvp I have been annoyed by this for months now.
Woop woop!
I don't understand why people don't just say use scale to scale proportionately instead of this? Wasted an hour.
fist bump!
Thank you
