How to Free Transform in Adobe Photoshop CC 2019 - Photoshop Free Transform

robertbaldwin.c... Learn how to use the Transform tool in Photoshop CC 2019. The Photoshop Transform Tool is probably the most important tool in Photoshop. It allows you to scale, to rotate, to flip, to distort and warp an image to your liking. Learn how to Photoshop Skew, Photoshop Distort and How to Transform in Photoshop.
I use this tool in almost all my tutorials and it often goes unnoticed so I decided to do a quick Photoshop Tutorial to demonstrate this amazing tool. Enjoy this Photoshop Tutorial for Beginners.
Also, because Adobe released Photoshop CC 2019 earlier this year and I just got around to downloading it recently... and they made a small change to the Transform Tool. It's not a huge deal but it took some getting used to so I figured I would record this tutorial to showcase this nuance.
Enjoy this Photoshop Tutorial!
Cheers
Rob.

Photoshop updated again the other day and for me it’s been stuck on free transform. Thank you so much for helping me fix this it was so infuriating! To anyone else running 2021 with this issue, hold shift. You have no idea how thankful I am for this ❤️

[@IMXVideoDesign]

Insane isn’t it... meanwhile they haven’t changed Illustrator! It’s annoying both software act differently now

[@fr.raymond]

Thank you so much. I have been fighting with this ever since I upgraded to 2019. I HATE that they make these ridiculous, completely non-necessary changes and don't give us an easy way to figure out how to fix it. Ugggghhhh!

[@IMXVideoDesign]

D. Mills I know what you mean!

[@laffbag2437]

yep! infuriating. What's the point of making these silly changes?!

[@IMXVideoDesign]

LaffBag I know.. especially since they didn’t make the same change in Illustrator.. so now scaling in either program work the opposite way 🤦‍♂️

not holding down shift for a proportioned scale is actually nice. i like it.

[@PaladinCiel]

how do I gett the point of focus back for stuff like rotating? Were we used to be able to move that point of focus to change were the image rotates around. being forced to rotate from the center of the selection is really slowing down my process.

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

nobody is gonna talk about the point at the center of the object in free transform that you could move before 2019 to make the object rotate AROUND the point, and not anymore by its center ?

[@MikeJones-qj7om]

Omg that felt so good just holding down shift

Thank you very much. Any tips against aliasing?

[@tannergreenwald5883]

When I try to skew grabbing the corners, it does the same thing as it would if I skewed grabbing the node in the middle. Why could this be? I can only move sides proportionally for some reason.

thanks for this it helps me a lot newbie here 😊

[@hamishchilton6237]

The fixed proportion by default behavior is now different to Illustrator. Workflow typically switches between Illustrator and Photoshop. So now the two softwares don't behave the same anymore. This new behavior is not helpful at all.

[@IMXVideoDesign]

I know! Going back n forth between the two is annoying now!

[@hamishchilton6237]

I figured out how to revert back to the original behavior. Click on ‘Edit’ ‘Preferences’ ‘General’ then check the box that says ‘Use legacy transform’. Hope that helps.

[@IMXVideoDesign]

Do you know how to push a point to the back? When I transform and it overlaps the object I don’t know how to put it behind itself

[@suerowe53]

Hi, thanx for the vid. How do I change the free transform sizing tools at the top of the page from pixels or percentages to centimetres match what it shows on the corners of the image? I want to be able to type in a size for the item to automatically jump to - if that makes sense. Thanx

[@theothqueenofengland]

Thank you! Why oh why do they have to make these changes? So they made "free transform" just like transform. I don't need two things that do the same thing. I"m going to have to remember to hold down the shift key. Photoshop is a pain in the A. I miss the day when I could get pirated copies not only because they were free but also because I could use my program for years without annoying yearly changes.

thank to you ik what the hell wrong with the transform tool! gosh, have to hold down some buttons now eh. I like when it was default-free transform disposition more.

[@imafreakinninja12]

So how can you free transform multiple layers at once? And how can you turn off facial recognition options? I try to alter some sketches to some faces I draw, but when I try to movemy selection, I can normally only move it to the original position or it snaps to Photoshop's suggested position and I can't go anywhere else.

Is there a way to resize the transform tool box itself? Sometimes when I import a photo, the transform tool box is incredibly larger than the image itself making it difficult to get hold of the corners while scaling.

Thank you for the tutorial. I also found it quite annoying that they changed this stupid little detail with the shift key... But well, they keep us busy learning haha. I have a question: I am trying to figure out a way of putting a shape like a print on a hand. But it looks fake. I wanted to distort it with a mouse movement somehow to be able to make the shape follow the deep lines on the hand more naturally. Like when it is a deep carved line on the hand that my shape goes "into" that deep carving as well, do you know what I mean? Do you have any idea, how I can get this result?Thank you for any advice. I highly appreciate it.
