Two finger swipe to pan in an image
So, I find myself trying to pan around an image by swiping with two fingers. This unfortunately performs a "pinch to zoom" motion, not a panning motion.
Is there anyway to change this? It's really quite annoying.

Three finger swiping works, depending on your settings in OSX/MacOS preferences. Note that this is not set in the trackpad settings, but in the mouse and trackpad section of Accessibility settings (the checkbox that says "enable dragging" then selecting three finger drag).

No - you need to be holding down the spacebar for this to work.
I recommend you just get used to it since it's how this how that behavior is handled for nearly all graphics packages. Photoshop works the same way which is why I'm sure they chose that interface.
I've gotten around it by mapping the spacebar to one of the buttons on my Wacom tablet - but typically when we are shooting tethered I'll be using a keyboard/mouse combo (because keyboard shortcuts are significantly more efficient for me) and a touchpad would only slow me down.0 -
I agree, it is annoying and you do not need to get used to it.
Press 'command' + ',' to open your preferences.
The first item under the 'General' tab is 'Viewer' - 'Zoom with scroll wheel'
Uncheck that box and swiping with two fingers will no longer zoom the image, it will pan when you are zoomed into an image.0 -
Just hold the option key while doing two finger swipe (to pan) 0 -
I reckon you have zoomed into an image?
I had this problem, and solved it by going to
Preferences > General
and uncheck the box in front of "Zoom with scroll wheel"
That is on an iMac with a trackpad.
Hope this helps
