Ramón,

I must have missed what they said about it then. I'm not seeing any posts in this thread from Ps programmers that say it is Apple's problem. Maybe there was another thread regarding this issue that I haven't seen. I haven't spent much time here so that is entirely possible. If there is any info you might be able to help me with, I would appreciate it. I guess Buko also knows something I don't (or you have to be a Ps programmer to give an opinion).

I do see a post saying "ideally Apple will fix the problem" which, to me, means they are hoping they don't have to deal with it. I also see another post mentioning they are working on a Ps specific fix. (Thanks for the heads up Steve Guilhamet. Much appreciated. Acknowledging the problem and letting us know a solution is in the works is great for PR.)

I guess the point of my post wasn't to try to convince you it is Adobe's problem but to publicly give another point of view to the situation. You have been very vocal in this thread about placing the blame on Apple but I haven't heard any real supporting facts either way. This thread needed some Josh B love and logic in it. ;) I was also a little bugged by the lack of possible solutions posted here so I posted mine. There were a lot of vague complaints posted early on that caused the thread to meander off topic at first and not much else. It took nearly 30 posts just to find out the multi-touch gesture support for the new Apple notebook trackpads is the culprit.

I thought we might actually discuss the topic logically and perhaps get Adobe involved in a solution or possible solution that we would all be happy about. All I got was a snide remark about how long I have been programming Ps and that I am entitled to my opinion.

Steve Guilhamet,

If the Adobe developers had to develop Ps specifically for multi-touch support, doesn't that also leave the ability to disable those features (in-program) up to Adobe?

What was the response from Apple regarding the issue?

And, I'm sorry, but "Note that Safari also inadvertently zooms."? The gesture has to be pretty deliberate in order for Safari to "zoom" (ie: increase the font size). This is no where NEAR as sensitive as the rotate and zoom in Ps. Personally, I have never accidentally changed the font size in Safari through multi-touch. I never noticed the multi-touch features until they became problematic in Ps. I don't think this issue and Safari's text resize gesture are comparable. There sensitivity difference is too substantial.

Again, thanks for keeping us updated and somewhat in the loop about solutions.
