I'm having issues w/ mouse-wheel zoom in PP X6. I have a dual monitor configuration and it doesn't seem to matter which monitor I'm on. It just goes crazy when I zoom in and it does NOT zoom where my mouse cursor is.
This is truly driving me nuts, because I use the mouse-wheel zoom feature religiously.
Phil1923 said: Hi Jed, Sometimes the image is not perfectly centered when I use the scroll wheel for zooming. (It jumps about an inch.) Mostly it works fine. Did you check the mouse wheel setting. Go to: TOOLS > OPTIONS > DISPLAY > ACTIONS FOR MOUSE WHEEL (at bottom of dialog) > choose ZOOM from the drop down list. If that doesn’t work, you may have to reset the workspace by holding down F8 at start up. Phil
Yes. I already mentioned that setting up above and I have it set to exactly that. To be clear, I *am* zooming when I scroll. The problem is that it doesn't zoom to the appropriate X, Y coordinate, which is creating a very crazy, squirrely behavior.
I just want it to zoom at the cursor. That's how it's always worked in the past. It doesn't matter what the document dimensions are. It doesn't matter how far you're already zoomed in or what. If you have a photo of someone's face and you put your mouse cursor over their pupil and zoom in with the scroll wheel then you should be ON their pupil, even when you're so close you can see the pixel grid.
This is how it's supposed to work. Is nobody else having the same problem?

As for the "squirrely" behavior, I suspect the mouse driver.

Probably as designed but not very logical. As for the "squirrely" behavior, I suspect the mouse driver. [/quote] I uninstalled the mouse driver and then it behaved more like I'm used too. Still, not very intuitive, but you're right. This is the way it's always worked in PP and I think it should be fixed. I'm going to start a feature request for it right now.

Can you let us know which mouse and driver you're using?

Yes. I'm using the Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 and I installed the IntelliPoint 8.2 64-bit for Windows 7 drivers.
All:
I have a similar issue with the mouse that comes with the Wacom Intous 3, but I'm the only guys I've ever heard complain about it....I'll check around and see what's going on with this issue.
If your using a Wacom or I would assume any mouse that lets you set the wheel to a specific program you can set the wheel to keystroke F2 and F3 PhotoPaints zoom keys. It will then zoom straight in on the cursor. In ( I think 80% ) jumps. That you might be able to change in the options. Every now and then I think about this and set it. Then I realize I don't like it and take it off.
I did use it a lot in Adobe for it didn't have any wheel zoom for a long time. Photoshop now has that feature. But Illustrator has not, it just pans the screen with the wheel.
The biggest help I found for the mouse wheel is the button on it. I set it to keystroke N ( also in the wacom setup file ) which lets me jump in and out of the navigator. This helps a LOT when the zoom isn't quite where you want it to be.

You know, regardless of the mouse driver, if it just zoomed in at your mouse cursor every time then this crazy, squirrely behavior wouldn't happen in the first place.
