P: Support scalable user interface UI for high resolution monitors

This is a great conversation that's separate from the main topic, so I created a new topic to continue the discussion. Please reference the new topic here: Photoshop CC 2014: SaveForWeb scaling problems on Surface Pro 3

Photoshop CC 2014.2 still has UI problems even on the Surface Pro 3 (which was given to everyone at Adobe MAX today). Here's a picture of the "Save for Web" dialog after turning on 200% UI scaling in the Photoshop Experimental Features preference.

See where the "Save", "Cancel", and "Done" buttons are? You can't press them because they're under the task bar. That window is not resizable either.

The Photoshop menus and UI text have not changed size. The only "new" thing involved is the release of higher resolution displays on Windows systems (some released before the OS was capable of scaling the UI correctly on them) - which make normal size UI appear smaller.

Photoshop did make changes to work with high resolution displays, just as soon as the Photoshop team and Microsoft could make it work (CC 2014). But we spent a very long time working with Microsoft to fix OS issues and work around OS issues in order to make the 200% UI scaling work. The Photoshop team is continuing to work with Microsoft to make more flexible UI scaling work on Windows.

And Adobe won't do anything until you ask for a refund from them, not HP. 95% of my time, I am now using something else, and have not subscribed to CC. I've lost money on CS5 and CS6. I bought CS6 without downloading for trial due to Adobe advertising in the upgrade you could enlarge the UI, but it was not enough to be able to see what I was doing. I've learned my lesson 😞

Along with the shrinking HW. I just purchased an 13" HP laptop as a portable platform to Run CS6 with a 2500DPI display and it is unusable. I am in discussions with HP now to try and refund my HW as Adobe is not doing anything to make its SW work.

And the Windows-based UI_SCALE_FACTOR variable affects Adobe apps globally, yes?

Allow me to rephrase, Jeffrey. I went through the blog and linked release notes and found no mention of UI scaling whatever.

I have been trying to respond to this topic and I'm continuously blocked for profanity, even when the only word in the comment is "Adobe". Lol.

I believe Nick is referring to the fact that the menus in PS have been steadily shrinking from release to release, with accompanying customer complaints.

UI scaling was never a feature if you consider customers being able to use your SW on their computer. Just like "open" and "save" is not a "feature", its just how the SW works to make it functional to the customers who paid for it. We understand paying for an upgrade for the next version but that is no longer an option with Adobe, more of a lifestyle now. I liked the CC version that came out in 2012 and gave you an option to purchase it or lease it, customers choice. But to eliminate the ownership model entirely was not right, especially if you intentionally starve and cripple CS6 to get people to switch is underhanded.
