  You can’t do it permenently I don’t think..it resets to the middle each time you re-transform.

  however..just had a thought, if you save it as a smart object then I *think* it will remember..try it. Not in front of PS myself right now.

  Yuo have the rubiks cube in the task bar whcih has the basic 9 references points.

  If you need a diffent possition, you may want to create a dummy layer mask, where the center is the position you want to transform on, and make the layer mask include everything in the layer (works perfectly on the rare occasion I need to do this). You can temporalily unlink the layer mask from the layer if you need to recenter the layer against the mask.
