Newly discovered wheel on my mouse!

[maderito]

From the department of Things I Never Knew . . .

I've "discovered" over the past few months that the mouse wheel significantly expands ease and functionality of interacting with computer applications - Photoshop representing a great case and point.

See this article (http://www.lonestardigital.com/wheelmouse_tip.htm) which only scratches the surface of possibilities. I'm sure there are better links, but I didn't look hard.

Perhaps I've missed it along the way, but I don't recall ever seeing this among "PS tips."

Perhaps my favorite is selecting a layer opacity option with the mouse cursor and then using the mouse wheel to dial through the different options.

I have one on my keybourd as well 8)

If only Microsoft were as good at making operating systems as they are at making keybourds and mice.

In PS (7), when you have opened a picture and there are still no scroll-bars in the picture, the wheel zooms in and out, but as soon, as scroll-bars appear (zoomed too large), the wheel only scrolls the picture (unfortunately...)
just tried another... holding ALT-Space (zooming-out sign appears), then using the wheel permits to zoom in or out until maximum or minimum reached... pressing shift zooms faster than not pressing shift
