P: Scalable Camera Raw interface

I am using an HP 840 laptop with 16mg RAM and 256 SSD drive. I am running Photoshop CC and camera raw  as part of the Photography CC package so I am assuming it is the latest versions.

Photoshop and Lightroom all work well but when I try to view anything in Camera Raw the Screen is so large it doesn't fit on the screen. Consequently many of the buttons are off screen. I have tried setting then UI to 100% but it doesn't make any difference.

 

 

Any ideas?

    I don't see how to scale it. I still have the same issue. Can you please explain how to scale the UI?

    I know this has been asked before but there is not a single helpful answer, especially from Adobe and I believe this should have some kind of fix/workaround at this point.

     

    I have already checked the system scaling workaround in this thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-discussions/camera-raw-interface-too-large/m-p/9650593 but I have a multi-monitor 4K laptop (Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX582) and this does not work for me as both monitors are affected when changing the scale and things look huge and clunky.

     

    I need to understand if there is a way to scale the UI on ACR because after the update to the 2023 versions it looks too big and it's uncomfortable to use compared to the rest of the apps. I really don't understand why the scale is different than the host program, either PS or Bridge.

    Windows 11 22H2.

    Please help.

    i've found the same thing with my photoshop, and what ive done is gone onto settings, and added a custom scale under advanced scaling settings for 145%. i should think probably something like 149% will work too, but havent tried it. obviously this is only 5% lower than the recommended, so nothing really looks much different, and photoshop camera raw opens fine. mine actually opened way too small but once you've resized it once, it stays the same size everytime you open photoshop. hope this helps somebody, although this is a lot of faff too do and maybe adobe could just sort it out for us?

    this appears to be a problem between Camera Raw CC and Windows 10.  Hope they fix it in an update!

    Another way without rescaling is to use your mouse roller to move down the Camer raw window to make all the edits you require and then press Ctrl+O to OPEN the file.

    Thank you for the solution! I changed my Scaling Settings under Display Settings to 145% and now not just Camera Raw, all other apps on my 14" laptop open efficiently.

    You can try to change the Scaling of the Windows and default screen resolution or if this doesn't work then try to lower the percentage of Zoom-In in Photoshop into the Camera Raw Filter.

    145% is the sweet spot for me too, late 2016 Spectre x360. I strongly agree that this is a flaw in Adobe software and we shouldn't need to perform these workarounds. I have PS Elements 2018 running on the same laptop and the ACR window scales correctly.

        OK. Long story short. I tried every suggestion with no luck. My laptop resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 and everything except ACR works fine. I was unable to scale the ACR window and much of the work space  was off screen.

        I desperation I went into Display Settings and noticed it was set to 150% by default. I set it to 100% and everything was so small I couldn't read it. But it did allow me to scale the ACR window which I did. I scaled it as small as I could. Then reset the graphics display back to default and the problem returned. In the end I set the graphics display to 145% and, as I had scaled the ACR window down, it allowed me to scale it to fit the window.

        So far it seems to be working OK now.

        Sorry that was supposed to e the short version.

        Thanks everyone for your advice.

          Same problem. I've re-set preferences and re-started photoshop CC. Screen resolution is 1920x1080. The photoshop window is fine with no modifications. It's only the ACR window that's distorted and can't be resized.  Brand new Dell Inspiron 13 running windows 10.
