Hi there
I have an Imac and am using Parallels 4.0 to access Windows XP on it. I have CS3 Master Collection loaded on Windows. The problem I have is with the proportional resizing with this software.

The issue occurs when I'm using Photoshop and the transform tool and scaling an image/object holding shift on the keyboard and using a mouse, usually this would retain the object proportions whilst scaling but it doesn't. Similarly, when I use Illustrator and try to resize an object using the selection tool and holding shift it doesn't retain the proportions either. That's just happening when I'm using CS3 via parallels and Windows. With the Mac running CS3 it doesn't happen nor does it happen when I boot straight into Windows without running Parallels. If I hold now the Caps lock key with shift it works but it's not a great fix as then when I go to type Caps lock is on etc.

I've seen this issue on forums but usually the fix is to do with Quicken or Entourage, here's an example but not a solution for me unfortunately: <http://www.layersmagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1206>
I'm not running Entourage or Quicken or any of the other software that seems to cause this issue.

I'm wondering if there is a conflict with the Mac/Windows and Parallels or something.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also posted on CS Windows forum.

Thanks, Jo
