Photos.app - zoom with scroll wheel?

[jaknudsen]

Is it possible to zoom a photo in Photos.app using the scroll wheel on a third party mouse?

… no one ever tried to do this?

I have the Logitech MX Master 3 and really wanted to set my mouse up to do just that, but couldn't figure out how to do it with Affinity Photo. It appears you can do it in Photoshop, however. I haven't tried it in Photos.

In Photos app, if you move the zoom slider to the right (any value other than "Fit"), then you can zoom with your scroll wheel while holding the Command key.
Tried this on an old Logitech, and a Dell mouse.

Thanks much, @DeltaMac! I'll give it a try with both Affinity and Photos.

Thanks, I can confirm that this works. And I can also enable zoom mode (i.e. any other value than "Fit") by pressing the Z key. Great to finally find a solution!
