Can't resize images in Photoshop CS5

Feb 6, 2013 2:01 AM

I was working in Photoshop CS5 creating a flyer when suddenly I wasn't able to resize any images.  I was adding images into the flyer fine for a while, but then when I clicked on an image to resize it there were no handles and I couldn't resize.  I've closed the program & restarted, closed the file & re-opened but nothing helps.  HELP.

    Did you perhaps flatten the file without meaning to? Can you show us a screen capture of the file with the Layers panel open?

    Maybe you accidentally disabled Show Transform Controls in Move Tool options.

    I didn't flatten the file and someone else suggested I check a setting for the Move tool, which I'll check when I get home from work.  If nothing's wrong there then I'll definitely post a screen shot because I can't work with it like it is.  I know I've probably hit some shortcut command that I wasn't aware of.  Thanx for taking the time to reply and I'll let you know what I find later.

    Message to Conroy: Mmmmmmwwwwwaaa!  Translation - that's a big, wet sloppy kiss for helping me!  Yes, it was the 'show transform controls' that was causing the problem, an option that I never even noticed before.  Now I can get my flyer finished and off to the printer for a special event next week.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you to OldBob1957 for offering advice.  I appreciate both of you taking the time to reply to my problem.
