After doing some more research, I found a solution. Affinity Photo!

As I mentioned, the only thing left is to confirm if running CS6 in 1920x1080 is the best method for the UI issue. I know there are some scaling methods in the .exe properties and something with creating a manifest. I tried changing the scaling in the .exe properties but not sure if things got worse or better. I also heard that hacking the registry with the manifest doesn't really help. Running CS6 in 1920x1080 might be the best option but again that's why I'm here. Thanks again

Yeah, I figured that. Although, like I said, I may pruchase a perpetual license in the future.

That is a good point and thanks for the tip. I may consider using bridge to view my raw images. However, the raw files are still unprocessed and not the final image.

Yes, I will never have a subscription. I use CS6 and camera raw 9.1 and will always use this software unless a newer perpetual license becomes available. I may get a perpetual license from Affinity or someone else in the furture. I think I would edit, export a final image and never go back. Although, I'm new at this, so may go back as my editing skills improve. What do you mean by you convert raw files to tiff when needed to use its features not available in camera raw? I can understand you wanting to edit the raw files yourself to taste and not wanting to use the out of camera jpegs. I may decide to do the same. I will have to wait and see. It may take me a long time to edit the raw files myself and may not enjoy doing it. Plus, the out of camera jpegs may turn out to be better than my processing. I will try it both ways and decide for myself. Yes, I know a 25mb raw file can turn into a 105mb tiff file when using 16bit pro photo. Most likely I will keep all my raw files (the keepers) for archiving and I will either edit myself and convert to jpeg with camera raw or just use the out of camera jepgs. Either way, I will have a processed jpeg for all the raw files I keep for viewing and sharing. This seems to be the most sensible thing to do. I understand if a photo needs to be printed, I can always go back to the raw and convert it to tiff. I would then delete the tiff once printed. Please let me know if I'm missing something.

What do you mean by everything goes through photoshop and saved out from there? Isn't it better to process raw files and convert them with camera raw instead? Meaning, raw files will be saved out from camera raw, not photoshop.

What do you mean you have no need to keep raw and jpeg? Don't you like to look through and share your photo collection? As I mentioned raw images are not meant for viewing since they are incomplete and you can't share raw images.

Okay, well this is good to know and thanks for your help. I just wanted to make sure it made sense before buying a professional camera.

Hi Dave, My final output? I'm not sure I understand. Are you asking what my intentions are with the photos I edit in CS6? If so, they would be for viewing on the same display in the native 3840x2160 resolution and for sharing. I don't see myself printing much at all. I'm only interested in CS6 and not concerned about any later versions.

I am very aware that editing raw images is far superior than editing jpeg images. I never questioned this. I also never mentioned that I would only shoot jpeg. I questioned shooting in raw+jpeg vs only shooting in raw. You have to process the raw files to something. They are essentially incomplete and not meant for viewing as a final image. As you pointed out, you prefer manually processing the raw file in camera raw instead of the camera doing it automatically. It sounds like most professionals do the same. Either way, you end up with a raw file for archiving and a jpeg for viewing/sharing. Do you agree with this, am I understanding things correctly?

I appreciate your very in depth response and thanks for your help. I did search for methods to help with the CS6 issue on a 4k display, but I couldn't find a straight answer. That is why I came here. It sounds like you are unsure of what is best, so hopefully someone else can confirm this for me. Right now I run CS6 in 1920x1080 on my 3840x2160 native display. When doing so, I can see things fine. However, as you confirmed there is a big loss of quality when doing this. That is why I asked if it made sense to spend $4k or more on a camera when I will be processing the images in 1920x1080 on a 3840x2160 native display. I understand the camera is has nothing to do with my display or CS6. It sounds like I shouldn't let this issue keep me from getting a professional camera but I just wanted to make sure.

I see that now, there is no such thing as 16 bit jpeg. Plus, a jpeg should be sRGB, not Adobe RGB or ProPhoto. Since keeping the dng file is strongly recommended, then I should do that and render each dng file to jpeg 8 bit with sRGB in camera raw. Like I said, I have to render the dng's to something just so I can veiw them for myself. There is no point of having a collection of unprocessed dng files. Therefore, I will have one dng file and one jpeg file for each picture. I would keep the dng files as masters and can use the jpegs for personal veiwing and sharing. If I ever need to print a specific piucture, I can go back to the dng file and render it to tiff 16 bit with ProPhoto. Does this sound correct? If so, would it make more sense to just have my camera set to raw+jpeg instead of just raw? This way, I don't have to render all my dng's to jpeg in camera raw. I assume this is just a personal preference of wanting the camera to do the processing or manually doing it in camera raw. I also assume you have more flexiblity and better quality doing it manually in camera raw. Otherwise, no one would bother and just have the camera process the jpeg. Thank you!

Yes, I am aware of having the option to embed the original, proprietary raw file inside the dng raw file. However, I personally would never want to do this. I am wanting to understand the most common, recommended workflow for after convertering to DNG. Like I mentioned, the colorspaces and formats options.

Okay, thanks for the clarifiacation. Basically every raw file that exists has an embedded jpeg preview. As I pointed out, even when choosing not to have one with DNG Converter, you still get a tiny one. For these reasons, I guess choosing the medium-size or full-size option would make the most sense. One last question with DNG Converter, can you convert a raw file to dng without including any of the metadata? Thank you!

Hello,
I might be finally purchasing a professional camera. Before I do so, I just wanted to go over a few things with post processing. I would be recording all my pictures in the raw format and then converting them to dng with Adobe's DNG Converter. I have to do this because my version of camera raw will not support any camera on the market. I have already decided that I will be discarding my proprietary raw files after being converted to dng.
Now, what exactly should I do with the dng files? Obviously, I have to render them since I can't do anything with them as dng. Do most people render them in camera raw to jpeg or tiff? I understand tiff is recommended for printing and jpeg is recommended for sharing. How about the color space, should I render them as ProPhoto RGB, 16bit for the hightest quality? Would this apply for jpeg and tiff?
I know it's stongly recommended to keep the raw files, (in my case the dng files) even after being rendered just in case you want to go back and render it again differently. However, if I insist on getting rid of the dng files, I should render as tiff instead of jpeg. Then, I can always create a jpeg for sharing from the rendered tiff, correct? If I do this, would I need to convert the color space from ProPhoto to sRGB before saving as a jpeg? Also, do I change from 16bit to 8bit or just leave it at 16 bit for jpeg?
My main goal here is to keep all my pictures files the same. For example, I could have dng and jpeg file for each picture or I could have just a tiff file for each picture. PNG might be a possible format also. I will not have a mix. For example, some pictures having a dng and jpeg file and some pictures having a dng and a tiff file. With this being said, what is recommended?
Thank you!

Hello, I know this topic has been discussed in the past but I'm looking for a bit more information. I've had PS CS6 for for about 8 years now and recently got a 75" display with a native resolution of 3840x2160. As most know, there is an major issue with the UI being too small when running in 3840x2160. My display has 59ppi, and I heard that CS6 was made for 96ppi. I understand that there should not be an issue if the displays ppi is under 96ppi. Which in my case it is. I just want to confirm a few things. Is running CS6 in 1920x1080 my best option? I know there are a lot of scaling methods out there and maybe that is a better option. Whatever my best option is, does it make sense for me to get a professional camera? I have been of the fence about getting a camera for several years now. I've always wanted one but with the CS6 display issue, it might not make any sense. For example, I was looking at the Canon EOS R5. PLEASE DO NOT MENTION UPGRAGING TO A SUBSCRIPTION! THIS IS NOT AN OPTION AND NEVER WILL BE! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT EVEN IF I WAS DONG PHOTOGRAPHY AS A BUSINESS, WHICH I'M NOT! Thank you,

Basically, all cameras and phones embed a jpeg preview to some degree, (small to full-size) in their raw files (proprietary or dng) without having the option not to, is this correct? This is with cameras and phones set to record pictures in the raw format, not the raw+jpeg format, correct? Thank you!

The camera you use is unrelated to this. It's just a question of how big a slice of the image you can see at native resolution. It's often important in Photoshop to view at 100% to properly assess sharpness and noise, and get reliable adjustment previews. With a high resolution screen, 100% will display a bigger slice of the full image. The camera I use is very much related. I don't want to spend $4k on a camera if it doesn't make any sense to. Would you buy a $4k camera if you had to use CS6@1920x1080 on a 3840x2160 display? Also, I use my display for other purposes like gaming for example. Therefore, I didn't waste any money. Everything works great except for Adobe.

Are you telling me that even when selecting the none option, DNG Converter still embeds a JPEG (tiny) preview? Are you telling me that most cameras and phones that use the DNG format for RAW, automatically embed a JPEG preview without an option not to? Thanks for your help,

Hello, I'm looking for a better understanding of using the DNG converter and the JPEG preview options. First question, when I go to open a DNG file that I created with DNG Converter, why is the image (preview) so tiny? For example, when I open DNG file from my Samsung Galaxy's camera, they are full size. I dont' even understand how Windows photos app or anything other than RAW editing software can even open DNG files. With my Samsung Galaxy, there are no JPEG preview options. I just have the camera set to RAW format which is actually DNG and that's it. To be clear, I do not have my Galaxy set to RAW and JPEG. Like I said, when I open the DNG files from my Galaxy they are full size, unlike the Adobe DNG Converter. The tiny image that appears when I open a DNG file from DNG Converter, is with the "none" JPEG preview setting. If I have it set to none, how can it be viewed? If the option none actually gives you a (tiny) preview, why doesn't it just give you a full size preview by default? Basically, your being forced to have some kind of preview even when choosing the option none. Why would someone want to have an embedded JPEG preview with their DNG files? I'm just trying to decide what option to use and why the options even exist in the first place. The options are none, medium size and full size. Thank you!

Okay, thanks for letting me know that it's not a standard profile. Basically, there is no way to to convert it to DCI-P3 Gamut with sRGB transfer inside photoshop by default. I will just convert my picture with DCI-P3 Gamut with sRGB transfer to sRGB then.

Hello, Can someone please explain to me what actually happens when you use photoshop with Windows set to 1920x1080 on a display with a 3840x2160 native resolution? For example, is the image quality reduced when running in 1920x1080? If so, I can't really notice a difference with the image quality. I see the UI is much different. Then again, I really have no way to compare the two side by side. I have cs6 and have to run it with Windows set to 1920x1080 due to the UI. Would the actual image quality be better in photoshop if I run it with Windows in 3840x2160? I have a 75" display and in 4k, that 59ppi. I heard someone say cs6 was designed for 96ppi. Since my display is less than that,(59ppi) should there be any issue? For example, I understand its only an issue when the display has a higher ppi than 96. Bottom line, I was thinking about getting a professional cameras but there is no point if using cs6 in 1920x1080 on a 4k display reduces the quality. Please do NOT mention upgrading ps to a subscription. I would never do something like that when not operating a business. Actually, even then, I still would not do it. Again, I'm just trying to understand to see if it makes sense to buy a camera. Thank you!
