Question

Can you freeze your view in Photoshop?

Hi, I'd like to know if you can freeze a viewpoint you're working on on Photoshop to prevent accidental movement and scrolling while working. I'm an aide for a student who utilizes Tobii Dynavox eye gaze technology to operate Photoshop and there is a lot of accidental scrolling while she's trying to work in a particular area. Thanks!

It is not possible to disable dragging, scrolling  or other movement in Photoshop currently.  You can lock the layer but that only prevents editing.

    EDITED: Bob is correct below, I am sorry I didn't catch the scrolling question. My appoligies.

     

    Hi, there is a lock ability so that you can keep a layer from being moved.

     

    Select the layer/s you want to lock, then in the hamburger menue in the Layers palette, select LOCK LAYERS, then a popup will ask you want  you want to lock, you can select ALL and then it will not move.

    Hope that helps,
