I have started to really enjoy the use of trackpad gestures for straightening photos, and adjusting the perspective. At first I thought it was confusing that I couldn’t click and drag, and now I love it and it actually feels more precise to me than the click and drag method, at least on the magic keyboard/magic trackpad.
Now that I am used to the gesture, I wish that I could do the same thing for adjustments. Swiping left/right to make move the adjustment slider that the mouse is hovered over would be a big usability improvement.
I assume others might hate this , so perhaps it’s an option in addition to the current support.
Add Trackpad gestures for adjustments, similar to how they work for straighten/perspective

Interesting idea! Although, I would agree it should probably be something you can opt out of. We'll think about this.

Thanks, the more I use the Magic Keyboard, the more obvious the click+drag behaviour is much slower than the simply 2 finger swipe gesture. Now I can't help but notice it what have I done to myself
After digging into Pixelmator Pro more, I noticed that the same trackpad 2 finger swipe gestures don't work for straightening/perspective there, so this seems limited to Pixelmator Photo.
Would love to see this brought over to Pro as well!

+1 too. I once had this idea too because working on mac's pixelmator using three-finger swiping on adjustment bar gives a quick value changing is convenient.

Does this 3 finger gesture work on Pixelmator Pro for Mac? I didn't think to try 3
Probably a bit less of an issue for mouse users on Mac, but the click+drag action on Magic Keyboard trackpad for iPad is very imprecise when you are trying to hold the click with a thumb and then drag at the same time.
I've grown to hate it

Fish,
Three finger swipping is a system-wide setting not tied to Pixelmator Pro. You have to enable drag lock in Accessibilty first. Then three fingers swipping becomes click-drag on adjusment slider.
But, Pixelmator Photo, of course, can adopt the same idea as mac's to have two fingers swipping on iPad Magic Keyboard acts as click-drag just like perspective does.
