Image jumps around in Photoshop

(1/3) > >>

ianwatson:
When working in Photoshop, the image sometimes jumps around in the viewing window of its own accord. Why is that? More importantly, how can I stop it?

ianwatson:
Naturally, I discovered what I am doing to make the image move around shortly after posting. I am an Apple man and have one of their mice. One moves a finger across the top surface to scroll and that is what I am doing inadvertently; this moves the image around. Aside from being more careful with my finger, is there a way to stop this in Photoshop?

David H. Hartman:
Try going to system preference under the Apple Icon and look at the options afforded to your particular mouse. I'll try to have a look myself when I get a chance to look when using a new iMAC with a Magic Mouse (I think that's what it's called). I have very little time on a recent MAC but I'm pretty sure there is something that will allow you to customize your mouse.

There are mouse settings under control panel for most OS? so probably also for the Mac. You can fine-tune speed of movement, functions of mouse buttons and scroll wheel,  click/double-click speed etc. Programs might choose to override such settings however I doubt that applies to Photoshop. It sort of defeats the purpose of PS.

Akira:
Is there any possibility that you inadvertently click the button when you touch the top surface of the mouse?  That could make you drag the image around?  I use M1 MacBook Air without mouse and thus the parameter for the setting of the mouse doesn't appear, but you may be able to lower the response of the touch sensitive button of the mouse?
