Something that's driven me nuts for years, but never thought to ask if there's a way to adjust this:

Made a video so it's easier to understand what I'm talking about. TLDR how do you slow down canvas panning while zoomed in?

Hi @TorQueMoD2, thanks for posting the video showing the zooming issue. If you check or uncheck “Animated Zoom” in Preferences on the Tools tab, does it make any difference?

I'm not sure of a way to change that speed, but how I deal with it is to hold the Spacebar as I drag (which uses the Hand tool) so I can be specific about where and how far I go.

 

This will not stop the process of what you're doing, so you can do this even while using the Polygon Lasso tool, etc.
