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

Faye,

I moved on a long time ago as well. Fear not, most readers get the message long before redaction occurs. They are a little faster at that, than product upgrads (bug fixes with a cost attached).

Regards,

Just a hint you probably already know. See the second socket on your graphics card? Plug in another monitor. PS will use that for the menus and the edit screen will be nothing but the image.

Yours will be removed too. So will this one. They are ashamed of what they did to us, and don't want it pointed out.

It still does not scale in the standalone Photoshop I bought new a year ago. I can't commit to paying money every month because I'm a grad student and I get paid living expenses just twice a year. In between them, I live on food stamps. I only want to BUY software, like Office and Windows. I don't want to rent it. Not only that, but if you rent it, it costs MUCH more across two years and becomes ridiculously expensive the longer you use it.

But Adobe has no mandate to sell customers what they want. They lost me and a lot of other people as customers. I finally got sick of this treatment, uninstalled it for good, and use something else. Adobe stole hundreds of dollars from me. That would have paid for months of food.

I'm a computer person, not an artist. I will also stop recommending Adobe products to all the people who ask me what they should buy.

What excuse are you going to use to delete this comment to cover up behaviour you know is shameful, Adobe? "Profanity?" "Conspiracy theory?" "Attacked other users?" "Comment not related to Photoshop?" "Spam?"

Chris, that approach is pretty much akin to using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. If you want to make that "feature" useful, allow the user to set a scale percentage within a given range.

I love how so many of the comments here are being removed. There is clearly an interface appearance issue of some sort here, and it sure **looks** like it's being swept under the rug as an attempt to save face.

You say that Jeffrey, but it doesn't work. Change the UI font size all day long, reboot after reboot...nothing changes. The UI font is ridiculously tiny. Latest Photoshop CC 2014 build as of today.

I am quite pleased with the general improvement in readability with the new "experimental" feature, except for camera raw (ACR) importer, which is still showing tiny interface features - am I missing a setting here? (windows 8.1)

While the problem may have been addressed in PS, the micro-sized interface in ID and AI requires tweaking the UI size via Windows Advanced Prefs, a sorry solution at best.
