Question

Disabling canvas rotate in CS6?

Hi, I'm using a Wacom Bamboo tablet and for some reason, my canvas keeps rotating randomly. Is there a way to disable this?

I stumbled upon this thread:

how do i disable the rotate view tool?

But I have Windows 10 and I don't have the option to disable multi touch gestures in Preferences ->Interface.

I've also disabled touch on the Wacom tablet preferences itself but still having this problem.

Thanks!

I am also looking for an answer to this question. I am using Photoshop CC 2017 and occasionally my cat somehow rotates my canvas while disrupting my work by walking across my tablet. I just want to turn off whatever functionality is making it do that. I pretty much dont need to ever rotate my canvas.

Just press the Escape key to reset the canvas.

In Preferences > Tools > uncheck Enable Gestures. If it doesn't work there, look at your tablet settings.

    I know this post is old, but this is still an issue. This option does not work. Even with the latest updates of Photoshop, the canvas can still be rotated after enable gestures has been turned off. I am using a actual touchscreen laptop for designs and have this issue constantly. 

     

    only work around that i have found is to lock the workspace. but when it is locked you cannot move the canvas at all, so that is a bit frustrating.

    Hi leprekhanh,

    The Touch interface in Photoshop was itself introduced in the CC version and hence the options have only been introduced in the compatible versions.

    Thanks,

    This doesn't answer the question at all. How can we disable the Rotate View tool, or make it so the wacom tablet (I have Intuos Pro) does not rotate the view when our wrists are on the touch area while drawing?

      If it's CS6

      You would have to disable all OpenGL functions.

      Preferences > Performance > Uncheck Use Graphics Processor.

      CC 2018 and a few versions earlier, just remove the tool and disable the shortcut.
