Hi together,
I'll start positive for a moment. Thanks Adobe for the new Photoshop version. I already enjoy some good new features.
But as with every new version, this one again causes me unnecessary difficulties. I understand that it is a complex program, but updates always make me think wether I installed a beta version.
With every new version basic stuff is broken or damaged. Then I have to switch back to the old version, wait a few months and try again.
Please Adobe, test your software properly before you publish it!
After the first hours with the new Photoshop version, here are my collected problems with v.20.0.0.
Maybe someone can confirm some points here or maybe I missed a solution for my problems. System is a uptodate Windows 10. Thank you very much for your help!
1. the new warp tool did not make it into the release although it is announced as a new feature?

2. In order to transform layers proportionally, Shift must not be pressed anymore. Ok, why not...
But when I transform smart objects like raw files, the Shift key has to be pressed to keep the proportions.
Argh...
3. Until the update, it didn't matter how far outside the boundary box I clicked when I wanted to rotate the object. This was very convenient because the greater the distance between the bounding box and the cursor, the more accurate I could rotate the object.
Since the update, you can only click in a relatively small area around the object to rotate it. If you click too far outside, the transformation is completed. Clear deterioration.
4 .The automatic snapshot creation when saving a file no longer works since the update. Only a snapshot with the current status is created and named with the current date (without time...).
If you save again after further changes, no new snapshot will be taken.
Annoying. I would like to be able to go back to the last points where I saved. Creating a snapshot manually every time after saving is not a pleasant solution.
5. The new live preview of the blend modes may be quite interesting for beginners. However, by now I know how different blend modes work. If I open the menu and move the mouse quickly to my desired blend mode, Photoshop falters briefly and the image flickers through the different modes.
Pretty annoying and with large files unnecessary computing effort, actually only a question of time until that leads to a crash.
Great would be either an option to switch off the live preview or a small delay before the blend mode is activated. 0.2 seconds would probably be enough.
6. When I save a PSB, make further changes, save it again, and close the file afterwards, I'm asked again if I want to save it.
Usually the small asterisk behind the file name in the window title disappeared when saving and returned when further changes were made. This doesn't seem to work anymore.
The file is saved correctly every time, but Photoshop doesn't seem to recognize it anymore.
7. When I paint with the brush in an alpha channel and press CTRL+Z, not only the last brush stroke is undone, but also the view is reset to all channels.
This doesn't happen every time, but again and again. I couldn't find a sequence where it happens every time yet.
It has been only a day since the update.. I hope this list doesn't grow.
So far, so disappointing, Adobe...
Oh, and one more thing. I think this forum is a very important knowledge base for problems with Photoshop, workarounds, etc.
Is it correct that the forum displays 26 threads max? No further pagination? Currently only threads with answers younger than an hour are visible. All other content must be found via search.
That's incredible! Anybody annoyed by people asking the same questions again and again? That's one of the reasons...
