ok, got it. the article specifically said PDF’s, and that’s what i was testing it on. would be more useful in PDF’s w/ QuickLook IMO, since i just might need to see what tiny text says.

In my case alt + wheel give the result. Yes, works with images, with pdf just scroll pages.

Works with images, but not with pdfs

still nothing, it just scrolls the document up or down. my Universal Access is set up so that control + swiping up or down is my screen zoom, but that just does the same thing here. no effect with option except scrolling up or down, and if i use control instead, i zoom the entire screen, not the Quick Look document. i’m missing something, or it’s being disabled by the Universal Access setup.

Make sure you have the cursor over the image when opened in Quick Look, then use two fingers to swipe up or down to zoom in or out.

This does not zoom the entire display, it only zooms within QuickLook, try it yourself

That’s got nothing to do with Quick Look – you are simply zooming the whole Mac display.
