Solution for accidental left-swipe

You are checking someone's tinder profile,
swipe left = next picture
but when browsing profiles
swipe left = "nope"
so let's rotate the pictures line
now swipe up = next picture.
I love the idea of tinder, not so much the actual usage, but let's not talk about my love life now. Anyways it happened too often that I swipe left someone, instead of getting the next picture. After some search I'm confident it not only happens to me.
We have two really different actions here, one is high-risk as you can't undo it (unless you pay) but swiping inside an album has no risk. What separates these two states (as profile and browse) is only one tap so your finger can slip easily.
Consistency is a heuristic in interface design so as error prevention and this is what my solution tries to achieve, let me know if I overlooked some details.
