I have been using Lightroom for years on my PC.  When I edit and use the sliders to adjust, I always click on the tab or dot in the middle then scroll with my mouse on the scroll wheel to adjust it +  or - .  Well, I just switched to a MacBook Pro and both mice I have are compatible and work fine with everything except on the sliders.  When I click on a slider to adjust it, it just scrolls the whole editing window up or down.  This is super inconvenient when you're used to using the wheel the whole time to be efficient. Anyone have some help?

I believe that Mac LR never implemented changing Develop sliders with the mouse wheel: Lightroom: LR 4.4 mouse scroll wheel does not work on sliders | Photoshop Family Customer Community

Just switched from Windows to Mac due to a laptop failure and this is a dealbreaker for me. My whole muscle memory is built on touching the slider and scrolling a couple clicks up or down for guaranteed 1 or 10 point increments. Having to manually slide left and right or type in the number I need is going to take too long. I'll focus on fixing the laptop.

Hi. Is it avaible in lightroom on macOS to change the photo settings *like a light, contrast etc.* by the mouse wheel? While working on windows i prefer this type of change "slider" position. On macOs I have to make a click and move it by move a mouse. Are you have any ideas?

I'm afraid it won't do what you want.  You might review this short video to see the mulitiple ways the sliders can be moved.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRkqZXc5zpI&t=16s

It's possible for Adobe to make such an update? Or I am not to expect it?

Given that people have been asking for this on Mac since the beginning of LR, I think it's unlikely they'll implement it.  (There was a previous request for this on the old feedback forum that apparently didn't get migrated over to the new platform.)

Editing more in LrC on macOS Ventura 13.1, not being able to use mouse wheel up/down for slider control once clicked on center pin is extremely frustrating. It too is built into my muscle memory.

As a previous Windows user, I can but strongly request this feature from Adobe! The time saver that it provides is incredibly huge.

I use Lightroom Classic both on Desktop Windows and on my Laptop Mac.
I am currently working on a catalog that is on an external SSD so I can work on either of the devices.

When I work in Lightrom on windows I can change the editing sliders in the develop mode by using the scroll on the mouse. But unfortunately when I am editing on Mac the scroll dosen't change the sliders. It only works with clicking on the sliders. 
I have muscle memory of using the scroll of the mouse at the moment and when I am editing a big batch of photos It is time consuming unfortunately.

I talked to an agent to see if there is the function of using the scroll on Mac too, and unfortunately the support told me that at the moment Mac dosen't support the scroll function.

I am using: MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Windows 11, and the latest version of lightroom (
14.0.1 Version).

I am writing this message to request that this feature will be taken into consideration for the next updates.
