 +1, I guess these two changes should do the trick. The problem I faced 
 when using
 the application was that I was swiping through my collection of images 
 when all
 of a sudden the same gesture caused an image to pan instead of going to 
 the next one
 without me knowing why that happened (plus somehow it still panned even 
 when I zoomed
 out, but this seemed to have been a bug).
 But if panning only happens when I purposefully zoom in and I can see 
 that I zoomed in,
 it probably won't be confusing anymore.
