How To Zoom in Effects Module

Hi, OK I have looked and searched the manual and the net but cannot find/see an option while in the Effects Module/Add Filter to zoom in or out when using a mask except for the Ctrl + 0 on Windows, I use a Wacom Tablet and have tried setting an option in that with no joy. I tend to use the Contrast, Sharpen and Tone options most and would like to be able to zoom into a part of the image (in my case the eye of a bird more often) especially for the Sharpen option. Thank You, Russ.

  I also use a Wacom tablet. In Preferences > General > Scrolling Controls you can set your tablet's scroll wheel (assuming it has one) to Preview Zoom and that works.

  

  There are a couple of other options as well. At the top of the window when the Zoom Tool is selected there is a Zoom field where you can type in an exact zoom amount up to 400%. To the right of that field there is a down pointing arrow. When you click on that a slider will appear that you can use to zoom in or out. There is also the Command/Control-± hotkeys to change the zoom level.

  It's an older Intuos 4M. I prefer the larger size as it allows me to more precisely locate the brush than the smaller versions.
