Hi,

cs6

I have many pics on screen I wish to move around and put to various positions like you might compare a few enprints on a table and move them about by hand !  and wish to zoom them smaller and have their frames with ruler still hug them, else I end up with a large grey window with ruler around and and in middle my postage stamp sized image. to keep dragging the edges to touch them again is a pain. If I then zoom one or more bigger I wish the frames to zoom with them,

    The problem is when you zoom with the mouse scroll wheel  if that is check  the window does not resize the window sized doe not change just the image in the windows does change in size.

    Hi,

    Ctrl and - is too big a zoom jump as is Ctrl and +

    In prefs I have ticked Zoom with scroll wheel, so adobe do recognise the function and tcked zoom resizes window, but it doesnt ! not with the scrollwheel.

    I have been able to do this in the past so something has changed, I have been with CS6 a few yrs now as well.

    Something is wrong but they wont fix it for CS6 thats for sure !

    I am left to manually move the edges in and out for every image I am zooming, thats not practical, there has to be a way of it doing so for scroll zoom. some key held down whilst doing so or something.

    Does anyone from Adobe read these forums ?

    Hi Merlin:

    If I then zoom one or more bigger I wish the frames to zoom with them,

    As per JJMack, Window > Arrange > Float All in Windows is a good start but if you want the frames to zoom in and out as you do, enable Resize Windows to Fit in the Options Bar with the Zoom tool selected.

      Barb,

      Your picture made me laugh out loud. Thankfully I had already finished my morning coffee.

        LOL! I was working on an entry for Something for the weekend - Part 79 - The mousetrap​, hadn't finished but didn't even think about the screenshot—I was focused on getting the Options Bar and Zoom tool into view.
