How can I change Zoom options?

0

Since I started using photoshop I always zoomed by clicking and dragging, right to zoom in and left to zoom out.

Today with no explanation, the zoom tool switch to a box, which is incredibly impractical, if I want to zoom a little I have to do a huge motion, and it's a lot of additional clicks to zoom out.

I can't find any option about this, how do I change it back?

This will depend on what version of photoshop you are using but most of the zoom options can be changed in General preferences. Also adobe has some very useful information on their site: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/viewing-images.html

Thanks. I didn't manage to get the "drag to zoom" option though. From the page you gave, what I want must be "scrubby zoom" but it's grayed out in the option bar, it says "OpenGL only". That must be the problem. – Teleporting Goat – 2017-03-29T22:55:55.567

It's kind of another problem, but it literally stopped working after I rebooted my PC. I was working on a piece, I rebooted because my fan was going crazy, then when I reopened Photoshop, no OpenGL. – Teleporting Goat – 2017-03-29T23:11:47.227
