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

Lucy, that 1366x768 rez should be fine. Just stay away from the higher-rez displays because that is where the Photoshop UI issue becomes apparent. Oh, and the compatibility thing, particularly with Adobe files, is pretty much a thing of the past.

MAC isn't hearsay per se... but everything else we've got over here is in windows and there are some awful compatibility things with crossing MAC and PC and so can't go that route either.

I"m thinking of getting this computer Toshiba Portege Z30-ASMBNX2 UltrabookTM 1366x768 does anyone know if that will work ok with Adobe CS6?

This may be heresy to some, but using a Mac eliminates the issue. This is a Windows-only issue.

Yes I am using a laptop and the screen is not that big in the first place. I meet with clients in their homes and businesses and they often wish to see or make a change on the spot. *annoyed sigh* Thanks for all the responses people! M

I think the "implementation" is to simply give up on your display's native (high) rez and go back to a lesser pixel count.

Agreed, not the best solution, but not as bad as one might think. OK for palettes:

But if one is working on a laptop in the field...

Move all your palettes to 2nd monitor.

Yes--there is now no room to actually work on my photography. Thanks Adobe. This totally sucks.
