Smooth zoom in safari

Question

You know the way you smoothly zoom-in in mobile safari? How do I do that on my Mac + magic trackpad in regular safari?

Wait for 10.7 "Lion" there'll you get the same zooming as on the iPad and you can even double-click on columns to zoom the to full window width.

Its a pinch motion just like mobile safari. To activate it, make sure Pinch Open and Close is ticked in System Preferences

	Thanks, but I did have pinch enabled and the "zoom thing" worked but it was not smooth. It works in very rough steps - 100%, 120% 140% or so.... instead I would like it to zoom smoothly from 100% trough 101%, 102% all the way down – user6131 May 1 '11 at 8:22
	Actually, what I want is my desktop safari to zoom like preview.... – user6131 May 1 '11 at 8:27
	Unfortunately, the zoom in and zoom out functions are hard coded to jump in largeish increments. The pinch options just trigger an increment after they detect your much finer pinches over a period of time. – bmike♦ May 1 '11 at 15:35
