KipV Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I saw this under help for the latest beta: "Using a trackpad device allows you to intuitively rotate the canvas using gestures." Nothing happens when I try the traditional rotation gesture (thumb and pointer finger then rotate.) I would really like to rotate in more then just 45º increments so I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what I might be doing wrong.

manu schwendener Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I rotate by accident in the latest beta of Affinity Photo all the time. Try zooming a picture larger with two fingers (which is what I want to do), and rotate a bit while you zoom. Quote manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipV Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 It still isn't working for me in either app. Zooming works fine though. Since this is a beta I am sure it is something that is just messing up on my machine.

manu schwendener Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Can we switch? ;) I'd like a way to turn it off.. KipV 1 Quote manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 There is now an option in the preferences (v1.3.5.8), Manuela … :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipV Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yes I would love to switch! I have always loved how Photoshop let you drag canvas to any degree so I was really waiting for that to come to Affinity. Sadly the preference option isn't working for me either.

manu schwendener Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 What hardware are you using? Maybe somebody can reproduce that it's not working yet in that particular setting. (me: MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch with built in trackpad, no mouse). Quote manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just to rule out the obvious … is the rotation gesture activated in the system preferences of OS X? :unsure: manu schwendener 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_B_C Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yes, Manu, you’re right … I read that … nevertheless, the preference setting could have been disabled inadvertently … smile … ;) (Maybe some other system-enhancing app or plugin that interferes …) manu schwendener 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipV Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 The rotation gesture works for me in apps like Preview so I would think it is turned on under Mac OS settings. The rotation in preview doesn't work exactly the way I wanted it to. I was hoping it would rotate more like Photoshop where I could pick any angle I want rather then just 45º increments. That is more important to me then gesture support. If any developers are reading this please add that!

manu schwendener Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 New beta out (not that I think it will solve this for you) Quote manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipV Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I noticed this in the new beta: - Improved canvas rotation detection logic (to avoid accidentally rotating while zooming).
