P: 9.5 update can no longer pinch zoom smaller than Fit.

I was editing this morning and everything was fine. Then I saw an app update, downloaded/installed, and went back to work. Now I can no longer resize my frames in masking mode which increases my workload erasing masking areas from the edges. 

iPhone 15 Pro Max w/ iOS 17.6.1 installed

Adding my voice to this - it's completely killed parts of my workflow. I have some radial masks that extend well beyond the borders of my pictures for subtle gradients. I'm no longer able to size them at all.

Hello there,


I've been using Lightroom from quiet a while now and it's been a blast so far. With the latest update, however, I can't seem to shrink my image when I'm masking it. This is very frustrating to my editing style. Before the update, I could shrink the image and then apply masks on it which is easier for me. But recently the screen is locked and the image won't squeez in when I pinch it to zoom out. Please fix this.

Thank you.

Hello @D0ugiefresh 

Regarding this second issue you mentioned, I don't understand.  Could you share another screen recording?  

Note: before making the recording, could you go into App settings > Input, and enable Show Touches at the bottom?  This will let us see your screen interactions.  

Thank you!

Much appreciated! While you're at it, I've also had an issue(before today as well) where when I open up a photo(LR CC Mobile) and it's still in the "downloading smart preview/original" phase, ithe photo zoom jumps to like 200-300% for no reason. If I double tap, it zooms again. A second double tap(or opening/closing the crop tab quickly) brings it back to fit to screen view. But it happens on probably 4-5/10 pics I open up under all circumstances. Cache clear and iPhone restart do not improve it.

It looks like, formerly, you could go 1/4 Fit view. I've logged it with the team.

I am not seeing this on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. 

Can you give more detailed step-by-step instructions or perhaps record a short video showing the issue (Turn on Show Touches in App Settings>Input, please.

Hey Rick thank you for the reply. I’m attaching a video that shows my new
issue. When I select masking, I’ve always been able to either shrink or
enlarge the photo in order to brush areas on/off. This allows me, for
instance, to select a subject, invert that, but then quickly draw away
large portions of the mask by shrinking the working image. This process
makes my brush size larger without having to adjust the actual brush size
and allows me to clear away unwanted masking areas quickly and efficiently.

Now, I can only enlarge or move the entire image with a two-finger swipe.
I’d really appreciate having the shrinking capability back please. Let me
know if I can do anything else to help this along.

Sincerely,

Doug

Are you speaking about shrinking to smaller than "Fit View"?
