Panning, then zooming with scroll wheel "re-centers" image

[Wes Duenkel]

There's a problem/bug with ACR 15.4.1 (it's been a problem for a while now). When panning, THEN zooming with the option + scroll wheel, the image "moves." This is very annoying and distracting. This is not how Photoshop works. Attached is a video of the issue.

How do you have your preferences set?

Same. I have edited the post to clarify that this is when *zooming with the scroll wheel.*

[Wes Duenkel]

This is still an issue with 15.5.1. Please fix this issue.

I still cannot replicate the issue you are seeing based upon the information provided.

Try using a mouse with a scroll wheel. Watch the video...?

Used a mouse with the scroll wheel - watched the video.  I still cannot replicate your issue. 

[Wes Duenkel]

Hmm. Can you post a screen video of what you're doing?

[Wes Duenkel]

Pan over to where the image has space on the side, then zoom in using the scroll wheel. Do a screen capture video.

This is still an issue with ACR 16.0.1. See attached video. This is when zooming with a scroll wheel. Image border "snaps" to the edge, which is very annoying. Photoshop does not do this.

The team has reviewed this and responded. 

The expected behavior is:  If the resulting zoom scale is below Fit view scale, the image snaps to center and zooms.  If it is larger than Fit view scale, it snaps the image to the edge so that if there is an outside margin, the dark canvas around the image, will no longer be visible.

Is this different than what you are experiencing?

Hmmmm...Based on your descripton, no. The attached video shows the inconsistent zooming behavior of the scroll wheel vs "scrubby zoom." They sould do the same thing, but they don't.

BUT, that is compltely not how Photoshop works, or any other photo editing software! If I'm working on the edge of an image, I shouldn't have to work at the edge of my screen. It's silly.

If this is "designed" behavior, then it is "BAD" behavior. It is also not how ACR used to work.

I don't use lightroom, but I doubt it operates this way as well.

Also, "scrubby zoom" doesn't work this way with ACR either. This is only an issue when zooming using the scroll wheel (or similar gesture) with a mouse.

See the difference on the following video. Please show this video to them to see the inconsistent behivor.

This is what we want: zooming in and out with the scroll wheel should do the same as the "scrubby zoom" function.
