Each Touch Strip can be independently customized to meet your needs.Many applications support two methods of zooming. In Photoshop, Painter, and some other applications,you can specify the center point for zooming by pointing with your Intuos tool while operating the Touch Strip(make sure you are pointing inside the document window with an Intuos tool).
