If you have the Adjustment Brush targeted then hold the Shift key as you roll with the scroll wheel to adjust the feathering on the brush. If you’re have used the Zoom feature to zoom into the image then rolling the mouse scroll wheel will move the zoomed image up or down in the work area.
On a Windows 7 machine, with Lightroom 4 and a standard two button mouse with a scroll wheel, everything worked as explained and it’s a whole lot easier than dragging sliders around to make your changes. Thanks to Frank Schophuizen for his gracious contribution to this post.
How do I Zoom in and out with the scroll wheel?
Scroling the wheel moves a zoomed image up / down and shift-scroll moves it left right, but it would be way easier to have scroll zoom in and out and just use the hand to grab and move around the image. Option 1 use the slider in the toolbar – works with the scroll wheel.
Moreover, is there a selective zoom option in Lightroom?
Yes, there’s no selective zoom, just the predefined levels. But if you throw an Alt key into that shortcut (i. e. Ctrl Alt +) you’ll step through all of the individual zoom ratios instead of just the big ones. Lots of questions?

You might be asking “How do I enlarge a photo in Lightroom?”
Enhance your photos with the sharpening sliders in Adobe Lightroom. With a photo selected, click the Edit icon in the column on the right. Click the 1:1 icon in the toolbar, or click on the photo to zoom into the actual size of the photo.
What does radius do in lightroom?
Radius – the size of the sharpening area around the edges. The default value of 1.0 means that Lightroom will apply sharpening over 1 pixel around the edge. If you increase the radius to a maximum value of 3.0, sharpening will be spread over three pixels around the edge, resulting in thicker, “shadowy” edges.
The default value of 1.0 means that Lightroom will apply sharpening over 1 pixel around the edge. If you increase the radius to a maximum value of 3.0, sharpening will be spread over three pixels around the edge, resulting in thicker, “shadowy” edges. I use the default radius value of 1.0 most of the time and I recommend to keep it under 1.5.
Next in the detail panel is the Radius Slider which lets you control how far away from the center of each pixel the sharpening effect occurs. This is great for determining if you’d prefer a more airy feel (smaller radius) or a more hard edge feel (larger radius).
What should I do when using Lightroom?
The first thing to do when using Lightroom is to import photos. A key difference between Photoshop and Lightroom (for those of you who have used Photoshop) is that when you import photos into Lightroom, you are only opening the photo file and not creating a duplicate of it.
This slider tells Lightroom how far from each pixel to apply the sharpening. A setting of 1 affects only that particular pixel, go beyond one and it starts to effect surrounding pixels. The effect of this is very subtle but the further you push the slider to the right, the more pronounced the contrast between pixels becomes.
Another common question is “What is Lightroom and how does it work?”.
Lightroom is a photo management and editing application designed for photographers. You’ll be able to organize, edit, export, and share your digital photos with this tool. While there are many other photo editing applications out there, Lightroom does a superior job of allowing photographers to efficiently and powerfully edit their photos.
