Thanks for the link! I installed it, I think, but I don’t know how to test whether it comes up other than to invoke Murphy’s Law: Be in the middle of something and do something anyone would normally do.

I have a long checklist of improvements I would make to Photoshop if I worked for Adobe, especially as a web designer.

Oh GOD I hate this stupid, stupid thing. Why, WHY? Who on earth thought this would be a good feature, was Satan whispering in their ear? I don’t get it.

Thank you!!!

Two years later and this plug-in is still making a difference. Oh, and I’ve been designing on a trackpad for many years now, same with all the designers I know. I actually feel like it’s more natural to use my fingers.

yo, that plugin totally didn’t do anything…. is there some way to “turn it on” or find the preferences to set it? i’m still seeing the compass.

After you drag the plugin into the “Plug-ins” folder you will need to quit and restart PS – rotation should no longer occur. I am guessing to re-enable it you would need to remove the plug-in from the folder and restart again. (Why you would ever want this enabled is beyond me)
