P: More flexible UI scaling on Windows

scaling 100% i cant hardly read
scaling 200% the letters are too big

Chris it has been a year since you said you were working with Microsoft - Blender (open source community) allows different scaling no problem on Windows - I don't see why Adobe cannot manage it if an open source community can

Please add this soon - we need 150% in Photoshop - free open source software has it (Blender), so why can't a big company Like Adobe get it. We just need 150% to work on UHD screens - it can't be that much of a problem that it is now taking over a year to get this implemented.

LR 5.7 on Windows 7

The Edit Preferences UI is larger than my screen - so I cannot save any changes, as Save button not visible.  Any suggestions?

Please add 150% scaling option for Photoshop CC and Elements. 200% scaling is too BIG.

I'd like an additional option, or range of options, for the UI scaling in Photoshop CC2015. Photoshop currently allows 100% for standard 1920x1080px monitors or 200% for hi-res monitors at 3840x2160px. I'd like to set my 1920px monitor to say 125% to get larger icons and screen text in order to make using PS more acceptable visually. My forum question has more detail here https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2020181

Hello,

are there any plans for the next updates to support Hi-DPI settings of 125% and 150% for Photoshop CC? At the moment you can only choose between 100% (too small on UHD display) and 200% (much too big on UHD displays, it just downgrades a UHD display to a small FullHD display). A setting of 125% and/or 150% would be perfect.

Regards

Look I appreciate you trying to explain things, you are a good guy and have given us valuable information, perhaps more than what we are getting from Adobe... but, when I provide my services to a client I can't say to them, well this really doesn't work the way you want, and it's really difficult to fix, oh and by the way can I get paid while I try to work this out and give you the final product next year. That is what Adobe is asking us to do. Sorry, but it is a very tough sell.

Those other products do things in ways that MS's GUI libraries work with. Adobe is doing things differently with LR, it looks and acts different than a typical Windows or Mac application. Adobe isn't going rewrite their UI from the ground up just because it doesn't scale arbitrarily in ways that MS says it should but that don't work yet. This situation isn't optimal but there are more moving parts that what you think are squeaking and just need a little grease.

Adobe did try to rewrite the UI of the Import panel and got slapped down pretty hard by 1000s of customers and are putting things back how they were, so I can't imagine other people want to get fired or whatever happens when they waste all those months of effort, or for the entire thing, probably years, redoing everything due to scaling deficiencies in Microsoft-supplied interfaces.

I'm not saying your wanting things to work right isn't correct, just that the situation is more complicated and simplistically expecting Adobe fix something isn't necessarily correct, either. Adobe would like to get this working, as well, and if you read up above, you'll see Chris, one of the original Adobe programmers, say they continue to work with MS on this issue.

Look I'm not interested in getting into a long discussion, I've told you my opinion. I'm not really interested in what difficulties need to be overcome, others have done it and given me useable software on the tablets and laptops that I use. I'm paying for software and it needs to work properly on the tablets and laptops that I use, that's the bottom line.
