Lightroom CC, November 2019 version, using Windows PC and MacBook Pro. All I can see is Fit, Fill & 1:1. Where are 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 etc?

Scroll should work up/down. To be honest I don’t know the actual pixel level. And it will depend if you have an original or smart preview available. Using the scroll-wheel could be like zooming (stretching) in a browser window. But I find it helpful sometimes e.g. when examining the green or purple fringing to correct chromatic aberration along high contrast edges.

The presets above 1:1 are only available in Lightroom Classic. The new cloud version has a maximum of 1:1 but depending on your set-up there may be a work around. For example when I work in the Edit module and zoom to 1:1 I can hold down the ctrl key and zoom greater than 1:1 by using my mouse scroll wheel. Let us know if that works for you.

The ctrl+scroll works fine for a zoom in, but I want to zoom out (so I can apply an automask to the whole picture in one click with a large brushhead) - any suggestions?
