Why does Photoshop randomly change Smart Object sizes when transforming?

This has happened to me forever and every so often I ask to see if there's a solution. It seems like a bug.
Here's the process.
Select smart object (via panel or Move tool)
Free Transform
Select top left anchor (happens with any btw)
Change measurements to desired size.
Apply transformation
Free Transform again
Measurements are different than what was applied!
I've again documented the process and am attaching all the images at the end.
See specs & hardware:
OSX 10.8.5
PS CC 14.2.1 x64
Magic Mouse.
This also happens at home with
OSX 10.9.3
PS CC 14.2.1 x64
Trackpad or USB mouse
Notes:
If rasterized this tends to not happen but that's not a solution because it takes away the advantage of Smart Objects.
Image 6 is the second Free Transform.
Any help is appreciated.

It happens when you have transformed text.
It's a widely discussed bug, that we've acknowledged and are testing a fix for.

Why does Photoshop randomly open multiple browsers?

I keep getting this random problem with Photoshop as part of my CC suite.
At random times certain actions I take within Photoshop will launch multiple tabs in firefox directing me to the Adobe help page.
Just now it happend when I was was within my layer 'color overlay' properties and in the process of changing the color to white.
As soon as I click my colour picker Firefox opened up about 20 tabs all pointing to Adobes help page.
I couldn't save my work as every time I went back to Photoshop the same thing happened. I lost my work.
I have the latest update of the 64 bit version of Photoshop.
Why does this happen and how do I fix this?

It's an obscure bug in the Windows version of Photoshop.
We just found the cause and are testing a fix.

Why does jpg export change my document size?

This is a minor annoyance I noticed after I upgraded to CS6.
This is the correct size of my InDesign document...
So why do the dimensions change a fraction of an inch when I export my ID document as a jpg?
(from Photoshop)

Well you can't have half a decimal pixel.
Like - 6685.2 pixels
So it needs to round it somehow.
How is it if you start an InDesign document using Web instead of Print in the File>New Document
Then open that in Photoshop?

Why does the mouse change the font size on my lap top?

When browsing on my lap top, I mistakenly change the font size with the integrated mouse on the computer. This is not a problem when using the external mouse. I notice that expolorer typically has the screen size displayed in the lower right hand corner. I need to know how to avoid this problem. Thanks!

If you press the Ctrl key while using the mouse wheel then you change the page zoom.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Why does a font change in my pdf when I print it to file?

A client created this magazine in InDesign and exported it to a pdf. I preflighted it and printed it using Adobe PDF for my printer and unchecked the "Rely on system fonts" button. The preflighter did not indicate that any fonts were unembedded, but the subhead on this page changed several characters anyway. The font is Kalinga, which is a freebie font, but shouldn't the preflighter have indicated if there was a problem? Also, the font was used elsewhere in the magazine, but this is the only page that had the error.
Here's the original file: http://www.needleandclay.com/pix/pdfs/Mountain%20View%20Feb%202015%20Original%2010.pdf
And here's the file with the error: http://www.needleandclay.com/pix/pdfs/Mountain%20View%20Feb%202015%20Original%2010%20worka round.pdf
I'm using Acrobat 9 on Windows 7, if that's relevant. I also have Kalinga installed on my computer, but that shouldn't have made a difference. Can anyone help me figure out what happened?

Photoshop document with smart objects changed when I apply color profile. Why?

I work in Photoshop with smart objects. When I apply color profile smart object are changed. For example change filter or change size. I dont now why?
See image

Yes, fortunately, I am a Windows user, but I don't want to start a religious war here And it is also possible to run multiple versions of Adobe products simultaneously under Windows - why shouldn't that be possible? Currently I have CS3 and CS4 and somtimes use CS3 when CS4 is just too buggy to get the job done. Before that I had CS and CS2 on the same machine.
But I wouldn't keep all versions back to PS 6.0 or CS, that would be a bit too chaotic and I'd had to spend days of installing if I get a new computer. I expect those programs to be a little bit backwards-compatible, so I don't have to use many different versions. And for Photoshop, this is mostly the case. It's just very tiny details like Smart Object resizing that seems to work differently.
Otherwise I'm really happy that in CS4 I can finally link Masks to smart objects and apply warp and perspective on them, that's a big plus!

Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open a file in a lower resolution than I saved it in?

Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open files in a lower resolution than I saved them?

The only meaningful figures for 'resolution' with a digital image are the pixel dimensions. They are not changed by saving.
The ppi (pixel per inch) information is not a property of the image, just like the dimensions of your prints : it's your choice when you want do display or print your images. The detail level of your image is dependent on the pixel size.

Send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object"

how to send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object" not a flat "image" so it does not flatten the image but so I still get all the adjustments i have made in lightroom to show up in photoshop?

Select the image in Lightroom, choose 'Edit in' from Photo menu then choose 'Open as Smart Object in Photoshop'. The file will transfer to Photohop (Ps) complete with Lr applied edits which can be refined in Camera Raw by double clicking on icon in the Ps Layers panel (see screen shot).

Why does PDF Optimizer no longer reduce size after CS4 upgrade?

I've been able to successfully reduce the size of the PDFs created from my Illustrator files for years using Advanced> PDF Optimizer in Acrobat Pro. Upgraded to CS4 last week. Now it seems to have reduced everything, but the files are still huge. When I check Space Audit 96% or more is taken up by "piece information".
I've tried changing the Adobe PDF presets, the Document Raster Effects settings, and outlining all text in Illustrator to see if that made a difference. Nothing. The frustrating thing is i've done this for years with no problem. HELP?!?!

Subject: Why does PDF Optimizer no longer reduce size
after CS4 upgrade?
Hi, I've found the solution because today it happened to me as well.
Just go to "PDF Optimizer", then click to "Discard user data" and finally to
"Discard private data from other applications": in this way you delete any
information left by Illustrator and your file's size will get reduced.
It works.
Good luckThanks so much! That works like a charm!!

Please help.

If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes. Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

Opening photo from bridge into photoshop converts to smart object

Instead of opening the psd-file normally from bridge into photoshop the file converts to smart object.
I used to work with CS3 where double-clicking in Bridge on a psd-file would open it in Photoshop. Now, when I double click in Bridge (CS6) it opens a "quick time pro" file, which I definitely don't want. When I use the right mouse to "place in Photoshop" it does so, but then automatically converts the file into a smart object, which I don't want either. What need I do to open a psd-file in Bridge as normal psd-file in Photoshop?
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi C. Pfaffenbichler
yes, there is a "Photoshop Document" in the list, but it has not
association. when I click on the little arrow on that line it "searches"
and shows all the files in the "program X86" on the C-drive. but I don't
know what to associate it with, or said differently, I don't know what file
in "programX86" to associate it with.

Why does Photoshop CC running slow when using Mixer brush tool

Why does Photoshop CC and Photoshop C6 running SOOO slowly when using Mixer brush tool??
Only to create one stroke it takes several seconds.
I have to wait a long time to do next stroke. I can't work with this. How do I fix this??
I have a new computer, a Mac Book Pro with 16 GB ram, so I have plenty of ram.

You really have to keep your brush size small with the Mixer Brush tool. And that necessitates keeping your canvas failry small as well.
Back a few years ago I did a whole painting with the Mixer Brush once and some of the bristle brushes - just to see if I could - and I found I had to really limit the brush size (e.g., to 50 to 75) in order to get enough responsiveness to keep painting. In that case my canvas was 4096 x 5120. It's not impossible to get a good, professional result, but you have to be careful about sizing things right.
