conroy Sep 7, 2012 1:37 PM (in response to Curt Y)Curt, is Ps for Windows different to Ps for Mac in this regard? On my Mac, the transform fields default to pixels for X and Y, and percent for W and H, regardless of the units selected in preferences.

Curt Y Sep 7, 2012 2:37 PM (in response to conroy)1 person found this helpfulAccording to my source "You can set your default units in your preferences, you can also right click on any dialog box or your document's rulers and choose the units you'd like." Unless I interpreted the question incorrectly.

gener7 Sep 7, 2012 3:05 PM (in response to conroy)Conroy,I checked the Info panel in Windows PS CS6. There is a down pointing arrow to the right of the crosshairs sign next to the XY symbol and that is a units pull down menu. No matter what unit I select it will be the same for XY and WH,even in the HUD indicator and that does include Free Tranform.
Should be the same for the Mac versions.
This conversation got me curious and I had to see for myself.

gener7 Sep 7, 2012 3:33 PM (in response to conroy)Same in the Transform Options bar here.. You can also right-click on the W and H "px" and "%" units in that options bar to change it to the units you want,but close up the file and exit PS,it will default to px and percent. I have no idea why it was engineered that way,but yes that's it in Windows version also.

nicolah69461626 Mar 15, 2018 7:43 AM (in response to sidneydavenport)I have just discovered in Illustrator cc for Mac, 3 little dots on the right bottom of the transform dialogue box which opens up more options and there it shows the unit measurements that you chose in preferences which correspond with the px ones in the fields.
