I need to know how to disable Trackpad Gesture to Rotate View. When I edit on a trackpad I accidentlly rotate constantly. So annoying.

There are two ways to do this, depending on what you want to give up in which apps.

 

The Adobe suggestion definitely works, but you lose the ability to rotate with two fingers in all Mac applications. If you do want to stop it it in all Mac apps, disabling trackpad rotation in macOS system settings is the right thing to do.

 

If you want to stop trackpad gestures only in Photoshop but allow them in other Mac apps, turn off the Enable Gestures setting in Photoshop Preferences / Tools shown below. The trade-off with the Photoshop setting is that it disables all trackpad gestures in Photoshop including two-finger zoom and scroll.

Hey @bobby378609839brl,

Try going to System Preferences on your MacBook, then Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom, and uncheck Rotate with two fingers.
