EmC0re Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hey guys! :)Just joined this forum and started using the trial of Photo.I am coming (what a surprise) from Photoshop and really miss a option in Photo to configure which button has to be pressed for zooming in with the scroll wheel.I am really used to using the "ALT" button (Im on Windows btw) in pair with the scroll wheel.The standard seems to be a combination of "CTRL + Scroll".Other than that I am really impressed with Photo.My not-so-powerful notebook flies through the program; this wouldn´t be possible with Photoshop.(My gaming PC on the other hand just doesn´t care if its open and running :lol: ) Awesome work!When there is money to spare I will buy this awesome piece of software B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 If you go Edit > Preferences > Tools and untick "Use mouse wheel to scroll" then it zooms if you press Alt and use the scroll wheel (as you prefer) or Ctrl and use the scroll wheel. It's nice to have a choice :) Shift plus scroll wheel will pan left to right. Just with the mouse You can press the scroll wheel down and turn it to scroll. Press the scroll wheel down and you can drag the document up/down or left/right That's a lot of useful functions with just the mouse. Edit. Now that's funny, when I first tried that it worked with Alt and scroll wheel plus Ctrl and scroll wheel. I just tried it again and it only worked with control plus scroll :huh: Edit again. Ah ha, it zooms with the right hand "Alt GR" held down but not the land hand "Alt". How strange. EmC0re 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

Alfred Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Edit again. Ah ha, it zooms with the right hand "Alt GR" held down but not the land hand "Alt". How strange. Not really so strange! AltGr is the same as Ctrl+Alt. :) But ... "land hand"? :unsure: Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Not really so strange! AltGr is the same as Ctrl+Alt. :) But ... "land hand"? :unsure: "land hand" Er, yes, an Olde English term. Oft used by Shakespeare I believe :wacko: You are indeed right, Ctrl + Alt + the scroll wheel does indeed work on the "land" side. So I guess it's the "Ctrl" bit that is relevant here. Maybe I should retract my bug report. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
