    Feels like CMD+Scroll Down to zoom in is backwards from what my particular brain is expecting.

    Is there a setting to choose if we want to reverse that so its CMD+Scroll UP to zoom in instead?

    If no such setting exists, please consider this an enhancement request.

    I see what you mean. Maps scrolls the opposite way from Nitro, but assistive zoom (I can use control + scroll to zoom into the screen), works the way Nitro does. So, there isn’t a hard and fast rule (at least not one Apple follows). I’ll add a preference in the future.

    Fantastic, thanks! Scrolling up to zoom in feels more natural to me too.

    Related to zooming I have noticed that panning around by scrolling works fine for up and down. Scrolling left and right (trackpad or mouse) doesen’t pan the image but flicks (is that the correct word?) to the next or previous image. It would be nice if panning in all directions was possible. Imho it’s quite useful for a smooth workflow when working on details.

    I do not see that problem with panning. If I am zoomed in already, then I can move the image by using one finger on the mouse, or two fingers on the trackpad. If you flick (move your finger very quickly) and it hits the edge of the image, then it may jump to the next image, but panning seems to be okay for me.

    Using the trackpad on my MacBook, I’m seeing the same issue Stephan is reporting.

    Using two fingers to move the image it starts to flick to the next image well before I’ve reached the right edge of the image I’m trying to move around. 2025.08(129)

    Would a screen recording or logs be helpful?

    Just tested again to check where the different experience might come from. Panning indeed works when editing a mask. When not masking, it works differently by using three fingers on the trackpad or by klick-drag the mouse (but not by using the scroll-pad (magic mouse)). Using two fingers on the track pad or scrolling horizontally via mouse moves to the next/previous image.

    When not masking, the trackpad uses pinch to zoom in, like on an iPhone.
