Hello. My entire Photoshop layout has doubled in size with this new update; it looks like it's in Windows Safe Mode. Is there a way to fix this? I am currently uninstalling and re-downloading the previous version because my eyes were melting from the bloated interface.Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: Photoshop CC 2018 (19.1) update now available.

I ́m also with that problem. 
Too sad to know that this is the normal behavior of Photoshop right now.

I have been in contact with your colleague. I understood that what I see, is the correct behavior of version 19.1. However, that means that in future updates, I would like to see the possibility to scale the UI of Photoshop down. 

Update: for now I went back to the previous version of Photoshop, as this new UI scaling does not look proper to me. Unfortunately, this is the first time ever that I am not happy with a Photoshop update.

For me it's:
- The scaling factor is 125%
- I use two monitors. 
(Left monitor: 125%)
(Right monitor: 100%)
- The OS version is 10.0.16299.192

Just a few more questions: 

1. What is your scale factor set to? --- Right click on the desktop, go to Display Settings >  Display and then under Scale and Layout what is that set to? 

2. How many monitors do you have and what is the scale factor of each?

3. Can you give us the version number of your OS? --- go to the magnifying glass (to the right of the window on your task bar), type "Command" and hit enter and then in the terminal window type "ver" and hit enter and it will bring up your current version.

Thanks!!!
