Question

Disabling Specific Touch Gestures

I can't believe this still hasn't been implemented yet, but Photoshop needs a way to disable specific touch gestures.

Some of the gestures are extremely useful, like pan and rotate, while others are infuriatingly buggy.

I use a Wacom MobileStudio, so my hand rests on the screen while I draw. Even the slightest bit of movement, and the Photoshop gesture to unzoom, unrotate, and view the whole image is activated.

This is utterly stupid. How can gestures have been in the program for this long yet there is still no way to enable to disable or even modify the gestures individually??? The only solution we are ever given is to completely disable gestures and use none of them. This all-or-nothing approach seems unnecessary and really makes using Photoshop unpleasant.

    I completely agree, I had to disable all touch gestures on the HP ZBook 2 as well. If each touch gesture can be turned on and off individually in the preferences then there wouldn't be an issue. Specifically I have had problems with Scroll Undo it activates all the time and from 2 fingers instead of 3. This problem could even be fixed by changing the 'touch' hotkey...meaning changing how touch activates certain actions.

     

     

    Can anyone from Adobe comment on this please!!!!!!?
