PSE 7 -- scroll wheel question

[TravelinGal]

OK - found another item I am having issues with...

In PSE 4 I used the scroll wheel on my mouse to zoom in/out - change the size of the brush/eraser etc...

Nothing happens when I use the scroll wheel in PSE 7. (but it does work to scroll on web pages etc)

Is this a mouse setting I need to figure out or a PSE setting?

Thanks in advance -- I really DO apprecate how wonderful you all are here!

Hi,
Go to Edit - Preferences - General and make sure that Zoom with Scroll Wheel is Ticked,
HTH,

Thanks Kev - that helped with the zoom feature :)

- now how about being able to adjust the brush/eraser size with the wheel? Before (in 4) if I highlighted the size I could then hover over the image and scroll the tool up or down

I don't know of any way in 7 to change tool sizes using the Zoom with Wheel.
The easiest way to change brush and eraser size is to use the [ and ] square bracket keys.

Thanks Kev - I'll try that. Hopefully it can be done so you can see the size while hovering over the image. I like being able to see what size the brush/eraser is as I adjust it.

You will see the brush size change as you increase or decrease it,
Kev.

Thanks again Kev.

have another question, but I'll post it separately so it isn't overlooked/lost...

oh, the joy of learning all the little intricacies of an upgraded program........
