I am still getting used to using my Wacom Tablet with PhotoShop. The BIGGEST annoyance is when the canvas rotates when every I rest my hand on the tablet while using the stylus. It usually happens while I am using a brush or clone stamp. It drives me INSANE that I cannot simply lock the rotation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am not touching any keys, it is happening when I apply pressure with my writing hand.

Hi

On the Intuos Pro I just disable touch input in the tablet properties

same issue - what an annoyance. two minutes of using it and you know this is a total pain. If people just used their own product.

Go to Photoshop -> Preferences -> Tools --> Remove the tick at "Enable gesture"

It works for me

I'm having the same problem  I have the Wacom Intuos Pro; however my tablet properties do NOT have the checkbox for Enable Touch Input.  I don't know how to stop my canvas from rotating intermittently when I'm using the pen tool.

I have the same issue with the canvas rotation while using the pen tool. This has driven me insane. I waste so much time. I have searched online for an answer. I also do not have the checkbox for Enable Touch Input. I have the Wacom Intuos Pro as well. Has anyone found a solution to this yet?

I have an Intuos Pro as well, for me what works is to go to : 

 

Touch Settings / Standard gestures / Rotate

If i tick out the rotate gesture, then it stops rotating when my arm is moving on the tablet. 

 

Hope this helps.
