Scale selection while maintaining aspect ratio?

Post by omgoleus »

Hello, a common interface element is to be able to drag a corner of a selection to rescale it, but constrain the scaling to proportional, so that the contents don't get distorted. Is there a way to do this? I almost always want to rescale things without distorting them but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that with a selection yet.I also tried copying the selection into a new layer and transforming it that way but that didn't do it either.I deleted the preferences with the first aid tool, just in case.I have 9.7.5 (2098)
