P: Support scalable user interface UI for high resolution monitors

I'm using a high resolution monitor(2560x1600). As a result, all the the toolbar fonts and menu fonts are small and hard to see. I do not want to lower the screen resolution as this would defeat the purpose of this monitor.. Will the new CS6 have the ability to increase font sizes to accommidate Hi-Res monitors?

Thanks

CS4 hasn't been "latest" since CS5 was released back in 2010 - and you're missing quite a bit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Ph...). You need to have someone check your group license terms.

Thanks Chris. Our Company has a downloads page on licensing.adobe.com. I guess the don't give you the latest version there in an ongoing basis bc I just put it on a new machine and its CS4 v11

There is a new feature in Photoshop CC 2014 to scale the UI by 200%.
That new feature, of course, is not available in older versions of the product.

Sounds like the blog post Jeffrey posted a few days ago addresses a fix in Photoshop CC but I dont see anything about that in the linked post.

Jeffery was there a fix for CC? What about say CS4 (v11).

No, it appears due to a bug in the dialog layout logic for SaveForWeb, and is a very different issue from this topic.

The 200% scaling solves most of the known UI scaling issues on high resolution displays - and that is working well.
But again, we are continuing to work with Microsoft to allow more flexible UI scaling in applications on Windows. We have to work within the limitations of the OS, and we are working with Microsoft to address those limitations.

But this bug only appears because the 200% scaling is too much.

Chris, I'm going to disagree here. The operating system, in my case Windows 7 Ultimate, provides an override scaling of 150% and from my use with other programs on this monitor is perfect. My original complaint was that 200% is too much and that 150% should be the default to match the OS.

So how is "working correctly" in your opinion defined? Just that this 200% function has been implemented or that it allows a good work flow?

It does work correctly for 200% UI scaling (which is what most high dpi displays currently need). We are continuing to work with Microsoft to enable more flexible UI scaling.
