Having trouble with handling Bezier curves in Free Transform > Distort?

Is there any way to enlarge the Bezier anchor points in this dialog?

I find the size of the points awfully small: especially on a high-res display.

I looked around for any options, along the line of those found in Illustrator Preferences (for anchoir points) to no avail?

I understand one can "click" on the image to "move" the handles but that's less of an elegant solution.
I have the same criticism for all Bezier tools in Photoshop... Too small for comfort. InDesign is the worst...

Sadly, you are right...

Hello Jeff and thank you for your suggestion!
I confess the Pen tool "tracing" options are far better than those showing under "Manual Transform > Distort".

Does the Navigator panel help you at all?

@Jeff Arola thats true for the pen tool but that doesnt affect the example shown in the OP.

For the Pen Tool one can change the Thickness and Color under Path Options.

I will not hold my breath... Many years ago, we were many to beg Adobe to add an Lch readout in the Info palette.
It would have been a cinch... Politics.

Hi @Roger Breton as far as I know there is no control over the handles sizes in Photoshop like in Illustrator. I could move this post to the Ideas forum where enhancement requests can get upvotes gain interest in the idea.

Thanks Kevin! I am relieved you come to the same conclusion.
I will not bother further. This new approach to scaling the Bezier handles and Anchor points has been in Illustrator for a few years now: if this has not made its way into Photoshop by now, I don't think it will happen... I bet "AI" is top-priority within the Photoshop team these days...

Never say never - each product has a prioritzed roadmap. It may not be there yet but if enough voices speak up they do take notice!
