On my monitor (2560 x 1600) the menu on CC 2014 is too small - so tiny I can hardly read it. Selecting Expereimental 2nd option makes the whole programme far too big. Either so small I can't see it unless I sit very close to the monitor or so big it is unusable.
No problems with PS CC, only PS CC 2014. Having to unistall CC 2014 and go back to CC. Support offer NO solution

It does work, if you enable the preference that makes it work.

I just bought a Dell XPS15 with a high res display. I installed the latest version of PS CC (2014). The menu text is microscopic and unreadable. The "official response" posted by the Adobe rep does not work! Adobe claims to be a high quality software provider but this type of response for one of their flagship products undercuts that. To have a situation where the leading photo editing application does not work on a high res display is bizarre!!

This is such basic programming stuff that Adobe should be very embarassed. I am a CS 6 user, don't use the product enough to justify the subscription. Too bad for me and others that want a big screen computer. Very sad

Appreciate the comments, but buying a new computer just isn't in the works right now. I just spent nearly $1500 on a superb Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro UltraBook (with gorgeous 3200x1800 display) Running Windows 8.1 Pro and I'm very happy with it EXCEPT for the Adobe display issues.

Roland, really? Let me spell it out for you: CS6 IS OLD. IT WILL NOT GET UPDATES. Please stop being an annoying junior-high-schooler.

Lol, Dave, no worries. Windows copied all the cool features from Mac anyway, so you'd be right at home. Ba-dum tschhh. But seriously, CC 2014 runs on a Mac pretty much identically so there is virtually 0% learning curve. Oh, and unless you buy top-end machines, Macs are a lot less expensive than you think for farrrr superior "A-spec" hardware and an OS that's still essentially virus proof, compared to the notoriously fragile Windows.

So great; spend thousands to buy a very expensive Mac and learn a completely new OS, just to solve an Adobe problem? NOT an option IMHO!!!

(Duplicate of post made in another similar topic)

To Chris, Jeffery, et al:

It has been officially stated that, and I quote, "The menu font size in the 2014.2.x release of Photoshop CC is determined by the operating system settings."

I dispute that statement as being blatantly false, and here are MORE screenshots to back my assertion. Yes, this is the most current version of CC2014. You will not that OTHER CC apps scale up just fine.

I am curious to see if there will be ANY official response whatsoever to this entry.

Chris, I call BS. It may be answered, but it's still not fixed. Don't hide behind semantics inferring that "answered" means "solved". Yes, you answered the question, but the problem still remains.
