Disabling that Pesky Trackpad Rotate Feature in Photoshop CS4
Posted: July 3rd, 2009 | Author: jared | Filed under: Business, Personal, Technology | No Comments »I use photoshop for various things, but, after my most recent Macbook Aluminum purchase and my upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS4, I’ve noticed that stupid compass showing up as I work. At first, I had no idea what it was, couldn’t find anything about it online- but, more importantly, I couldn’t find a way to disable it.
After tinkering for a little longer, I saw I could rotate the canvas using two fingers on the trackpad. Still, I hate this feature and it annoyed the hell out of me.
A few weeks later, I googled around and found an Adobe-issued plugin that disables the feature for trackpad users. Here is a link to the Adobe download page:

Once downloaded, move the plugin to your Adobe Photoshop CS4 install directory plugins folder and restart photoshop. Works like a charm.
Booya. Damn, I hated that feature.
