How to zoom in even steps (50%, 66,7%, 100% etc) with mouse scroll on a Mac?

I just switched to a mac from PC and I was used to zoom with my mouse scroll and hold shift to zoom in even increments to keep the image as crisp as possible. Now on a mac I still haven't found a way to do this. When the zoom with mouse scroll is enabled (I use Apple's Magic Mouse), I'm only able to zoom in and out getting uneven values such as 88,7%, 97,6% etc - the same action as in Photoshop WITHOUT shift pressed. But on a mac pressing shift doesn't help. I've also tried plenty of different keys with mouse scroll zoom but none of them seem to help.
Is there any way to zoom in even steps with Magic Mouse on a mac? This is driving me crazy, as now I have to select the zoom tool and use it to zoom in and out, which significantly slows down my work flow.

While Magic Mouse is really cool, it is not really the best bet for a Photoshop user. Read here: http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MB829LL/A?pqid=QXF99PAC4UX2C4PDCFTTP4XP YXH2YTDFC
Other than that, you can press 'Option' key on your Mac keyboard and use the 2 finger zoom on Magic Mouse to zoom in. But, I doubt if this will give you even step zoom.
The other keyboard combination you could use (I'm sure you're probably already aware) is Cmd + & Cmd - key combination which will give you equal step zoom.
You can also take a look at this article: http://creativetechs.com/tipsblog/11-ways-to-zoom-in-photoshop-cs4/
Even though it is for CS4, it works across all versions of Photoshop (so far).

    Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.

  • How to make the scrollbar function with mouse scroll wheel?

    Is there a way how to make my content scroll even with the mouse scroll wheel?... I have to edit the coding??

    Hey!
    You shouldn't have to edit any code.
    There is an active player bug surrounding this issue however, which causes the following:
    1) It should work on windows.
    2) It may not work on Mac.
    We're continuing to pursue this issue, we know it's important to our users.

  • How do I get marked text (text marked in a textarea with mouse)

    Hi.
    I want to implement a method that saves marked text in a textarea in a string. With marked text I mean text that the user marked with its mouse. Is there a method already in the JAVA library?

    Sorry, my fault. Just had a glance in the JAVA API Specification ;)
    Didn't know that DefaultEditorKit is part of the JAVA library.

    iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
    Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
    Try a different Wi-Fi connection
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

  • How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

    how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale.  Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

    The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
    The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
    To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

  • Safari 6.0 page zooms in (even if I'm not touching the mouse) how do I zoom back out?

    Safari 6.0 page zooms in (even if I'm not touching the mouse) how do I zoom back out?

    I turned off zoom in sys pref so hopefully that will help… but when it zooms in huge "on its own" you have to use the back button to go back to normal size as the double tap doesn't work but half the time the back button is greyed out so you have to close the window and start all over which is a pain in the … so why is my back button doing this. It will do this on a page that I used the backbutton on previously?

    How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

  • HT1527 I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

    I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

    i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1.  I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard.  This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter.  When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
    After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes.  Now it's running flawlessly.  I have Avast anti-virus installed though.
    HTH!

  • I want to set a maximum size for pictures when FF shows websites. How can i do that? NO I DONT MEAN "HOW TO ZOOM".

    I have FF 34 but this problem has been there for a lot of earlier versions. On many webpages there are pictures that cover my whole screen, and I want to set maximum size for showing images on webpages.
    I ONLY wanr to change the maximum size of the images, AND IAM NOT asking about how to zoom the webpage.

    Do you want to hide large images or merely make them smaller by setting a max-width and max-height?
    You would probably have to use JavaScript (bookmarklet) to achieve this reliably.
    There are bookmarklets to make large images fit in the window to avoid a horizontal scroll bar
    You can try this code in the <b>userContent.css</b> file (adjust the max-width accordingly).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
    <pre><nowiki>img { max-width: 1024px !important; height: auto !important; }</nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    *Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    *Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
    *Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
    *Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

  • How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

    Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
    After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
    Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

    And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • How to Zoom in and Out on PDF files in Safari?

    Safari help is not helpful since it gives inaccurate information on how to Zoom in and Out on a PDF file that has opened in Safari. The help says to control click the page and choose the zooming level you desire. However control clicking the PDF file in Safari brings up a save page box. I tried some of the other keys with clicking and they did not work. Thanks in advance to those who helped me save a PDF file to the desktop so I can view in Preview.- But often I just need to be able to zoom in to read the tiny text that is displayed.

    Thanks for getting back to me-
    the website I am trying to zoom into a PDF on is:
    http://www.beedocuments.com/software/Timeline/screenshots.html
    I click on one of the screenshots- it loads into a safari window.
    When I control key click on the image- a pop up menu comes up asking me to save the image to deskotp- add it my image library and 2 other save options. No zoom in or Zoom out. I only have an apple pro mouse and my track pad- so right clicking isn't an option.
