P: Support all Windows DPI scaling options (125%, 150%, ...)

The two UI scaling options (100% or 200%) are inadequate on modern desktop monitors (4k, etc.). They work great on older monitors (100%), or on small, portable devices (200%), but not on everything else.

Please add support for all additional Windows system scaling options in priority order: 150%, 125%, everything else.

The whole UI scaling issue is making both Microsoft and Adobe look like amateur programmers. Windows OS and Adobe apps now have a mixture of tiny UI elements, oversize menus, different scaling on different monitors. I've spent hours trying to fix this mess with a combination of Windows settings, Adobe preferences, even registry tweaks - seems like each setting change affects something else. Do you guys even use your own software?

I also need the 150% scaling because 100% is too small and 200% is too big. Please help with this. Thanks Danish.

Please add scaling support.  This is really disappointing.

Looking forward to it Jeffrey. Teaching Ps on full HD flatscreens is a pain with either 100% or  200%.

Windows 7, 8 and prior versions of Windows 10 will only support 100% and 200% - as the continuously scalable user interface requires APIs only available in Creators Edition
How come Illustrator was able to support other scale-options even before windows 10?

Continuously scalable UI will be available in an update in the very near future. You won't have to wait until another year for a full version upgrade.

Even more annoying is that it seems Illustrator actually handles this correctly...

I think having this feature is rather urgent, as using either 100% or 200% really hinders the overall workflow at every single step! I've been dealing with this for almost two versions now! will we have to wait until CC 2019...?

I join with my opinion that 150% UI scaling would be super useful. 27 inch 4K screens (like mine) are quite common. Working in 100% is very inconvenient, while 200% just makes it look ridiculous...

I'm pretty sure this is going to be more and more problematic, as not many people will have the space to use 37+ inch screens, while 4K will likely become standard soon (if not already)...

Just updated to Photoshop CC and no scaling yet?  Very disappointing. 😞
