Patrik, Thank you for the suggestion on the 200%. I made all the difference in the world. Now Photoshop CC 2014 is usable on my high res screen (3200x1800).

And with cs 5

I do really hope that the planned final changes for HDPI menu in Photoshop will also work for Win 7 and not only for dumb (sorry) Win 8!

Thanks. I also found a side by side comparison in this Cnet article, if anyone is interested. I think a fixed 200% is only a temporary solution as monitors get higher and higher res, but it is better than nothing.

Hi Jacob,

I am using a Eizo CG276 (27inch Display) with a solution of 2560 x 1440 DPI.

Patrik, would you be able to post a screenshot of what the 200% looks like, and also what screen resolution you're using it on? I'm interested in seeing if it's worth updating. Thanks!

I have just updated Photoshop CC 2014. There are some new functions called: Experimental Functions (LOL).
Within these experimental functions there is one for 200% HDPI scaling. I think it ́s a good start into the right direction.
I hope that it is what it says: experimental function and that you guys from Adobe work for a perfect solution in future, maybe even near future.
The con about this funtion is that it only works for 200% and the font size of the menu also gets very big.
But so far so good. Keep on working and some day it will be all fine 🙂

Please read the previous responses, and check out the new release features on Wed June 18.
