P: Support scalable user interface UI for high resolution monitors

CS6 is two versions out of date now, and will not be getting new features. New features will come in the current versions of the software.

We were able to secure the software for CS6, but are unable to get the funding to upgrade to CC at this time. We're at something of a standstill here, because we now cannot proceed in our work. Does this mean that this issue will not be addressed at all for those of us stuck back in CS6?

Chris, there are a great many of us who need to use a few Adobe products on a regular basis but, do to the (for example) not-for-profit nature of our efforts, are unable to even consider participating in the very costly subscription model that Adobe has adopted.

We happily bought nearly every CS upgrade offered since long before CS existed, but the thought of being without basic software when the inevitable lean periods come to visit would be foolish for us at best. Had the decision simply been whether or not to upgrade to CS7, we would have upgraded months ago.

To place customers in our economic quarters in the position of either having to sign-on to a subscription model that is not feasible for us or have software that is essentially not usable, at least on a lap-top capable of actually processing the files in question, does not seem very much like the old Adobe that we had come to love (and we felt) support for something close to two decades now.

As you can see above, this is already addressed in Photoshop CC 2014.

This issue has been here for 3 years and it still isn't fixed.

Does anyone have experience using CS6 with windows 7?
I have windows 8.1 Pro, which can give you the "right" to downgrade. If it fixes this UI issue, then I"m happy to "downgrade" I don't really need all this windows 8 stuff.

My organization can't afford to switch to CC.

I cannot see the menus in Adobe CS6 in windows 8.1 I ended up with a laptop with too high a resolution, using windows 8.1 pro. From looking at the other postings on this issue, it looks like Adobe has no plans to fix this, which is a real bummer. I cannot see photoshop cs6 and I cannot see Illustrator cs6 and I cannot see bridge 6 on this computer no matter what settings I try to fix.

"ID and AI don't use native controls" - Thx, that was the missing piece. But all I ask is that you look at it from an end-user standpoint... In analogy, I really don't want to learn about the complexities of Variable Valve Timing and Adaptive Air/Fuel mixture controllers, I just want my car to run right. 🙂

ID and AI don't use native controls, so they can change their UI code without having to use many of the problematic Windows APIs. Nor do they have the same complexities in their UI as Photoshop. So that is a useless comparison.

Photoshop could not scale the UI in previous versions under Windows. Again, Apple tested their UI scaling APIs a bit better, so implementation went a lot more smoothly.

I guess this is how I feel about the whole "It's the Microsoft APIs that are broken" reason. Yes, yes, I realize that PS probably uses a different code base for the interface, but still, IT'S FREAKIN' NOT RIGHT.
