Question

Can I make zooming in and out with the magnifying glass the same as photoshop?

Hi! this is my first time using a forum, so I hope I'm doing it right! 🙂

 

So bacialy, to zoom in and out on photoshop, all I do is hold Ctrl and the spacebar, and drag my tablet pen to the left or right to zoom in and out. 

However, I've recently started using adobe animate, and though I can still zoom in like this, I can't zoom back out again.

 

It's not really a huge problem, since I can just zoom out with the mouse weel, but I've used photoshop for so long that the first way is very ingraned in my muscle memory! Hence, I always end up zooming in alot when I want to zoom out. It's just a bit annoying haha.

 

So my question would be: is there a way to set up preferances to zoom the same way as photoshop?

If not, it's quite alright, but if there's something my usless-tech-wise self is missing, I'd love any advice!

Cheers! 🙂

    ctrl-spacebar to zoom in (as you know)

    ctrl-alt-spacebar to zoom out.

     

    (but i find it even better to just select the zoom tool (default shortcut z) and drag a rectangle to zoom that rectangle to your visible stage size.
