I'm 73 and if Photoshop had an independent way to enlarge the type, toolbar and side panels without using Window display settings that would be REALLY nice. Your current software enlargement settings are useless.

With todays 4k monitor settings Photoshop worlspace the Menu Bar, Options Bar, Tools Panel and Panels Area is so tiny it can’t be read. Using the options choiced of enlarging type and the 200% increase doesn’t make any difference. The only way to actually increase the zize of these is to go to the Windows settings and modify the display setting. The problem with that is it makes Photoshop bigger but everything else is bigger too.

Give me a slidebar so I can sdjust the size of these elements so it works perfectly for me. I’m betting a lot of long time users are aging like me and need this help. As a LONG time user of Photoshop, please don’t force me to using AI programs like Grok.

    Correct, Photoshop UI scaling follows the Windows setting. The idea is that what is required for one application shouldn't be different from what is required for any application. Does Photoshop behave differently in this regard to the other applications you use?

     

    I honestly don't know what the 200% setting in Preferences is supposed to do; it does nothing here. I've assumed it's a legacy setting for older operating systems that don't support the standard scaling.
