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

Hi Jeffrey,

I installted Version: 2014.2.0 and tried the gradation menu again. I think it is still quite big. What do you think about it (attached picture)?

To access the scaling feature in CC 2015, select Preferences>User Interface and set the UI scaling pop-up to "200%" for HiRes displays.

In CC 2014, this feature can be found under Preferences>Experimental Features and enable "Scale UI 200%"

As of the 2014.2 release or later of Photoshop the engineering team has made some changes to the way that Menus are scaled. See update announcement here:http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotco...

The menu font size in the 2014.2.x release of Photoshop CC is determined by the operating system settings. For example, on Windows 8.1, you can adjust the menu font size by following the steps in the “Make text and other items on the desktop larger” section of this Microsoft Help topic.

Hi Diane, the ACR team has been implementing HiDPI for CC/windows in ACR 8.7. Try it out here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/ca...

Greg, if you are referring to Elements 6, the just released Elements 13 supports scaled UI.

Hi Patrik, Please see my comment above. We're investigating a change that will correct this for you (allow you to scale Menus independent of the Photoshop UI scaling pref).

Dear Chris,

may I ask in how Photoshop CC 2014 works fine on high res Windows system? I ask this question because I have Photoshop CC 2014 on a high res Windows system. I have to use a scale of 150% on windows 7 system. If I use the Photoshopo 200% scaling it doesn ́t work. The programm is not useable this way because the menus come too big.

Photoshop CC 2014 works just fine on high res Windows systems. And ACR and Bridge are different teams that waited for Photoshop to work out the issues on Windows first.

Even with CC, which I have, you cannot see ACR and Briidge. I would make sure you can see exactly what programs you have to access. I have been told ever part of CC is controlled by different teams and they are not all using the workaround Photoshop is. Extremely Frustrating.
