Hmmmmmmm...................
Here's how I'm interpreting it.
He creates a path for some kind of guide.
Goes to the paths panel and selects the "layer" that the path is on.
This makes the path visible.

He then returns to the layers panel, and then he somehow makes a selection of an area......??????

And then want's to transform the selection and not the path using free transform.

But as with any active path, free transform, transforms the path and not the "contents" of the selection.

This is why I have asked for more information because this is now and has always been the NORMAL behavior for Photoshop!!
We need to know what he means when he says, "select an area of it and then apply a transform". What does he mean by select an area of it and how does he do this?
Without the active path, we can easily transform the contents of a selection...........
