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

There is no such version of Photoshop.

But new features like this go into the current version of Photoshop, and will not appear in older versions.

I have Photoshop version 6.2

Are there any plans to provide an update to fix the same issue with this version???

There is always the "butcher" fix whereby you go to prefs->experimental features and check the "scale UI 200%" box. Have fun with that.

In case you haven't figured this out, Photoshop does not care what you think or whether or not you can read the tool bars. Miles and miles of thread testify to the frustration that this issue has created. They are relying on people who used to have a good experience with Photoshop and later stumbled in on these later versions. Sooner or later a competitor will come along and knock them out of the market They will can all the dufufus that screwed up the program - hope it all happens soon.

Hi Mardi, I responded above to another customer that we're investigating a change that will correct this for you (allow you to scale Menus independent of the Photoshop UI scaling pref).

Mr. Cox, it is not true that it works properly for most users with high resolution displays. How can you ignore for example my posted screen prints where it absolutely not work proper?

Mr. Gye details this very eloquently in his post on another thread: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh...

How so? The 200% UI scaling is working just fine for most users with high resolution displays.
