Turn Your Mouse Wheel Into The Zoom Tool In Photoshop!


Turn Your Mouse Wheel Into The Zoom Tool In Photoshop!

Tired of always selecting Photoshop's Zoom Tool from the Toolbar whenever you need to zoom in or out of your photos in the document window? You could use the handy keyboard shortcut for quickly accessing the Zoom Tool, which is Ctrl+spacebar (Win) /Command+spacebar (Mac) to zoom in, or Alt+spacebar (Win) / Option+spacebar (Mac) to zoom out, but there's an even faster way. Just use the scroll wheel on your mouse!
You'll find the option for enabling or disabling this feature in Photoshop's Preferences. Go up to the Edit (Win) / Photoshop (Mac) menu at the top of the screen, choose Preferences, and then choose General. You'll see an option called Zoom with Scroll Wheel in the center of the Preferences dialog box. Click inside the checkbox to the left of the option's name to enable or disable the option:

Even if the option is disabled in Photoshop's Preferences, you can still zoom in and out with your mouse wheel. Simply hold down your Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key, then use the mouse wheel!
