I have been living with auto transform handles on my objects for the past week and wondering how to turn it off.
I searched, found nothing.
Then, I found a freaking button I’ve never seen before (clearly):
Show Transform Controls.
Turn it off. Fixed.

Wow…I’ve never ever paid attention to that check box until I had the same problem you did. Thanks for pointing that out. FIXED. Moving on…
Exactly.. I was really frustrated that I couldn’t find this information online!
I have been living with auto transform handles on my objects for the past one minute and wondering how to turn it off.
I searched, found you.
Looked right after reading this and what should be staring me in the face? but the ‘Show Transform Controls’ tick box….thanks!
man, you just save my computer! I was almost throwing him against the wall
really thanks!
Thanks so much, you just lowered my blood pressure with this tip!
Thank you! It’s bugging a couple days now. I must have hit button by accindent. It’s an annoying feature. I work with a Dutch version of Photoshop and the description of this toggle thing is very unclear – I would never have found it 🙂

Haha yeah no problem! I had them on for a good month+ and I had given up looking for an answer.
Awesome! Thank you… I wonder what the shortcut is – I think I must have hit some key combination somewhere…
Gee, thank you! That thing was driving me crazy. Some hours of that was enough for me. Tasks took twise as long because of it. Again, thanks.
hi im not using mac version of photoshop so i couldn’t find the button. Do you know where can i find it in pc version? OTL
THANK YOU
your awesome dood, You don’t know how long i’ve been wanting to remove that thing.
Thank you! That was driving me crazy!
Where may I manually find this button if the toolbar is nowhere to be seen?
Yes! After being really annoyed for a week I found this thread. thanks for saving my sanity!!!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I couldn’t figure out what the heck I did to change it and have looked everywhere for an answer.

Yuji you can use Ctrl+h to hide handles and ‘border’ of selected obj.
