I’m not sure zooming with just the pen is possible. I assume zooming via the Touch Strip isn’t what you want? You might try the software utility xGestures, it allows you to apply keystrokes to mouse gestures. However, I have experienced issues in the Creative Suite apps with xGestures in the past and stopped using it because of that. Otherwise it’s a really cool app.

I’d say assigning zooming to the Touch Strip and using the pen in the Touch Strip is probably the only solution. Let me know if that works or if you figure something else out.

Hello!
Thanks for the posts. They’re a bit old but since you seem to be a kindred spirit perhaps you can help me figure out if the following is possible:
I want to smooth zoom in Photoshop CS4 with my wacom pen.
I have an Intuos 3 and I cannot, after hours of researching and playing, figure out a way.
I have the Pan/Scroll option in my prefs but it only pans the image. I can’t get the pen movement to translate to a pure scroll wheel which would do the trick.
If you can figure this out I will send you a cupcake.

[...] In some previous posts, I rambled on about the ability to scroll, one-handed, using the Wacom software, and a shareware alternative, Smart Scroll X. I also touched on this a bit in my Wacom Intuos graphics tablets review. I am very pleased to report that the developer of Smart Scroll X has worked out the issues with Camino and NetNewsWire. The newly introduced scrolling feature in the Wacom tablet driver software is very cool, and should be more than sufficient for most users. Smart Scroll X fills a gap that the more nerdy of us may appreciate. And I think this is the proper situation for a shareware app – to extend functionality. [...]
