Is there a way to keep the image that I'm working on from moving around on me. The least little movement of/on the mouse tends to move it around.Thanks!

Ive been using AP for a couple years and this image movement is the single most frustrating shortcoming for me.  It's particularly difficult when working on panoramas or when trying to accurately crop.  How about a simple toggle button on the sidebar to turn position locking one and off.

Must admit, it is useful for panning ... be nice if there was a preference to turn it off so the image didn't drift with the slightest move of the mouse. It is one of the more annoying features of any app that loves to pan with an over sensitive mouse

Can’t you simply lock the layer or am I missing something?

Nothing to do with locking, it is the movement of the document. You can lock and it will still drift or move with the slightest accidental move of the mouse. I often do tutorials and I end up apologising as the image suddenly drifts off the screen during the tutorial. It is a useful feature but it is a useful feature that should be turned off if possible

Maybe i need more coffee, but i really don’t get what the actual problem is.

normally the document doesn’t move at all, unless you 

  • use the move tool and drag the image
  • Click a window slider or move inside its sensitive area
  • use mouse, menu or keyboard shortcuts to zoom, move or rearrange the document views.

Otherwise, using the mouse for other editing actions it only moves inside the image, without moving the image itself.

So you are requesting a kind of „view lock“ disabling moving the image view (window) even when the move tool is intentionally active? Or is it something different.

Again, sorry for me not getting the point.

Hi @Andrew Buckle
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
Other than using a regular 
scroll-wheel mouse there's no way to turn this off. It may be annoying if you are not used to, but give it a chance/some time and you may end liking it more than you expected (i did).

@NotMyFault,
Andrew is probably using a surface mouse where the finger movements over the surface translate in panning movement of the canvas. With a regular scroll-wheel mouse this doesn't happen which is probably what you are using.

I have been using Photo for several years now. This issue is the single most frustrating flaw in the design and makes me hate the app at times ... it's annoying, you don't get used to it, there should be a way to turn it off!
