    It's possible for Adobe to make such an update? Or I am not to expect it?

      Hi. Is it avaible in lightroom on macOS to change the photo settings *like a light, contrast etc.* by the mouse wheel? While working on windows i prefer this type of change "slider" position. On macOs I have to make a click and move it by move a mouse. Are you have any ideas?

      I'm afraid it won't do what you want.  You might review this short video to see the mulitiple ways the sliders can be moved.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRkqZXc5zpI&t=16s

        Guten Tag,
        ich hätte eine neue Funktion...
        Jeder besitzt doch eine Maus mit SCROLLRAD. Wieso kann man nicht in dem "Bearbeiten-Menüs" die jeweilige Funktion anklicken/auswählen um die Funktion dann mit dem Scrollrad nach links oder rechts zu verändern - immer noch drücke ich die linke Maustaste (Krampf)
        Nach nochmaligem Klick wird die eingestellte Position des Schiebereglers beibehalten und man kann zu nächsten Regler gehen um jetzt wieder auszuwählen
        Ich ärgere mich maßlos das ich jedesmal die linke Maustaste dauerhaft gedrückt halten muß und gleichzeitig - relativ unsensibel - den Funktionspfeil nach rechts oder links ziehen muß - und kann erst nach getaner Einstellarbeit die linke Maustaste loslassen...
        Mich nervt das richtig...
        Mit freundlichem Gruß

        Google translation: "Using the scroll wheel. ... Why can't you click/select the respective function in the "Edit menu" in order to then change the function to the left or right with the scroll wheel"

         

        Are you on Mac?  On Windows, you can use the scroll wheel to change sliders in Develop, but Adobe has never offered that functionality for Mac.

         

        Many people have asked for that ability on Mac, but until now it looks like no one has posted a formal feature request (as you have).  (Several people asked for the Mac feature in the bug report I linked to above.)

        That is actually a pretty good featured on PC and it's Not available on Mac, kinda disappointing since I just switch to Mac and I love that feature.

        You should tell Adobe. We're not Adobe in this forum, we're just other Lightroom Classic users who can't add features to the software.

          I have been using Lightroom for years on my PC.  When I edit and use the sliders to adjust, I always click on the tab or dot in the middle then scroll with my mouse on the scroll wheel to adjust it +  or - .  Well, I just switched to a MacBook Pro and both mice I have are compatible and work fine with everything except on the sliders.  When I click on a slider to adjust it, it just scrolls the whole editing window up or down.  This is super inconvenient when you're used to using the wheel the whole time to be efficient. Anyone have some help?

            I believe that Mac LR never implemented changing Develop sliders with the mouse wheel: Lightroom: LR 4.4 mouse scroll wheel does not work on sliders | Photoshop Family Customer Community
