- App Version: Adobe Photoshop 26.6
- Platform/OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (MacBook Pro M2 Max)
Steps to Reproduce:
Enter Liquify mode.
Press Z (Zoom Tool) and hold left mouse button while dragging the mouse.
Expected Result:
Zoom should behave smoothly — just like in the standard Photoshop interface — where dragging the mouse provides fluid, continuous zoom in/out.
Actual Result:
In Liquify, zooming is stepped or jerky, not smooth. The response feels segmented and unnatural, making it difficult to control the zoom level precisely.
Why this matters:
This inconsistency breaks the workflow. Smooth zooming is a standard, expected behavior in Photoshop, and should be consistent across all tools, especially Liquify, where precision and fluidity are critical for retouching.
