Does anyone know if there is a way to make slider adjusters in ACR work with the mouse wheel? Thanks in advance.

Assuming it’s like Lightroom, click on the center of the slider and then rotate the mouse wheel.

Thanks Erik for your reply, however, doesn't work for me. Could be I need to change some settings, not sure.

Regards

If you're on a Mac, I'm fairly certain you can't do this

I did some tests on this recently and found that it doesn't work on a mac for LR, LR Classic or ACR. On a Windows PC it only works for LR Classic (not LR or ACR). You click on the slider teardrop before you move the wheel.

Just did a search and apparently the correct term for that pointy thing is "thumb". Good grief!!! I like "teardrop" better!

Have you tried the keyboard arrow keys for moving the sliders? I love the control that way.

Thanks for that tip I never knew this, it's a lot less fiddly than using the mouse to alter the sliders.

Exactly. And it seems more accurate, and interesting to watch the results as you just move the slider one click at a time with the keyboard arrows. Some people may not have the patience for that, but if you do, it's magic.

Using the keyboard to make adjustments with the sliders by moving the values by 1 are indeed wonderful for very fine tuning an image and I have used them in this manner for many years.

The other thing I do when making adjustments to the sliders is to hold down the SHIFT KEY while moving the sliders with the keyboard. By holding down the shift key while moving the slider the adjustment increments are now in the value of 10 per keystroke, allowing for a very quick overview of the adjustments and then returning to the 1 increment adjustment for a final and careful adjustment.

On the exposure adjustment the values will change by 1/2 stop while holding down the shift key.
