I am having a very odd problem with my wacom tablet and photoshop.

I use the touch ring to zoom in and out when editing in photoshop and that is working fine, but in the past couple of months when I take an image into the liquify filter to edit the touch ring does not zoom in anymore. When I return to the main photoshop window all is good again. I am on an iMac 2017 updated to the latest Big Sur and photoshop is 22.4.3. The tablet is an Intuos Pro S running an up to date driver, 6.3.43-3

anyone else having an issue like this? Have you figured out a solution?

My number one go to solution is to unistall and reinstall the tablet driver when I encounter this type of issue. This could be happening as Liquify acts as it's own application, and Wacom may not be recognizing it.

I tried to reinstall the whole operating system, with clean install and step by step all the softwares and drivers as a new computer, but the issue remains the same. It is very annoying and really happens as described above. Zoom with the ring does not work inside Liquify. Outside it just works fine (despite of the fact, that a had to return to PS 2021 recently, because of some lag with the brushes in PS 2022. Anyway tried all the possible combinations, liquify no zoom.

Hi, does other methods work? two fingers on the trackpad? Alt+mousewheel?

Note that Liquify does not behave the same way as the native interface: the zoom with mouse will zomm on a section when you click and drag, similar to when scrubby zoom is unchecked in the option bar, but it does not draw a marquee (for me, the machine (PC) I'm trying this in has outdated drivers I cannot update.)

Likewise, one cannot scrubby zoom using the percentage at the bottom left. (CMD+move the mouse on top of the numbers.)

I also notice a lag when moving the brush tool quickly, without pressing the button down.

I am having the same issue it just started with one of the most recent PS 2022 updates. It is challenging because I can use the wacom wheel to increase and decrease the brush size but not image zoom.

Same exact issue. The zoom wheel does not work in the liquify module, but is fine in Photoshop outside of liquify. Having the problem for months and cannot find a fix.

I have an Intuos Pro Medium on IMac 24 M1; Im having the same issue. I have no idea if this is a PS or Wacom issue but it is a pain not to be able to zoom in out in Liquify with the wheel. This works fine in other PS windows... so im suspecting this is a PS isssue. All my drivers are uptodate.
