Photoshop CS4 Annoyances
If you are working with Adobe Photoshop CS4, you may be encountering few annoyances - I certainly am. Some of these are simple, and I need to get over it; such as the exclusion of filters and plug-ins that I used to use. (The extract filter was nice, and I’ll miss it, but there are other ways to achieve the same thing.)
One annoyance that I cannot deal with is the enabling of trackpad gestures with no preference option to turn them off.

Really?! We conduct usability tests for a reason…

Anyway, I rarely develop imagery on my laptop, but I frequently make minor corrections with it. Trackpad gestures males that practically impossible for me. Perhaps, I am clumsy, or maybe I’m just uncoordinated; but I’m obviously not the only one with this challenge. Adobe has released a patch (a plug-in) to disable this “feature.”
