What You'll Learn
Zooming in/out with a mouse
To zoom in and out in Ibis Paint X on a Windows laptop, you can use the mouse scroll wheel in combination with the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
First, ensure that your mouse has a functioning scroll wheel. This method won't work with a trackpad or other input devices that lack a physical scroll wheel. Position your cursor over the canvas—the area where your artwork is displayed. Press and hold the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard. While holding "Ctrl," scroll up on your mouse wheel to zoom in or scroll down to zoom out. Adjust the zoom level to your preference. You can achieve a wide range of zoom levels by scrolling more or less. Release the "Ctrl" key when you're satisfied with the zoom level.
This method provides precise control over the zoom level and is ideal if you need to make small adjustments. It is worth noting that some users have reported issues with zooming in Ibis Paint, even when using the correct keyboard shortcuts or mouse and pen combinations. This may be due to the specific hardware or software setup being used. In such cases, it may be helpful to experiment with different methods or refer to additional tutorials for further troubleshooting steps.
Additionally, if you are using a Chromebook, you may need to change to a different emulator, such as Bluestacks, to enable the "Ctrl" and mouse pad combination for zooming.

Zooming on a Mac laptop
To zoom in on a Mac laptop, you can use a variety of methods, depending on your preferences and the hardware you have available. Here are some common ways to zoom on a Mac:
Using Keyboard Shortcuts
You can use keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out on your Mac. Press Option-Command-Equal Sign (=) to zoom in, and Option-Command-Minus Sign (-) to zoom out. To quickly switch between zoomed-in and zoomed-out states, use Option-Command-8.
Using a Mouse or Trackpad
If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can zoom in and out by scrolling while holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys. Alternatively, you can use a Magic Mouse with a multitouch surface to zoom in and out with a similar gesture as the trackpad.
You can also use the trackpad on your Macbook to zoom. Simply double-tap with three fingers to switch between zoomed states, or double-tap with three fingers and drag to zoom in and out gradually. To zoom in and out of an image using the trackpad, you can also try holding down the Command key and scrolling with two fingers.
Using a Graphic Tablet
If you're using a graphic tablet, such as the Wacom One, you can zoom by pressing the spacebar and Alt keys and then dragging your pen.
Adjusting Display Settings
If you want everything on your screen to appear larger, you can adjust your display settings. Lowering the resolution will make all onscreen elements, including text and icons, appear bigger.

Zooming with a graphic tablet
If you're using a graphic tablet with Ibis Paint X on your laptop and want to zoom in, there are a few methods you can try.
One user with a Wacom One tablet found that pressing the spacebar and alt keys, and then dragging the pen, allowed them to zoom. This may work for other tablets too.
Another user with a Wacom tablet (the Wacom Intuos 5 Touch) mentions that they have set the upper switch on the stylus as a middle mouse button (MMB) click, which allows them to rotate the view. They also mention that pressing MMB+left mouse button (LMB) together allows them to zoom. This method may be worth trying with other graphic tablets too.
If your laptop has a built-in trackpad, you may be able to zoom in and out using a two-finger pinch gesture, as you would on a touchscreen.
If you have access to a mouse, you can also use the ctrl and mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
