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

HighDPI display scaling was a feature added in Photoshop CC 2014.
That feature can not be ported back to older versions of Photoshop.

I currently own a licensed copy of Photoshop CS5. I also just purchased a new Dell Inspiron 7559 with Windows 10 Home. The new laptop is a hi definition style with killer graphics by NVIDIA GeoForce. When I start up CS5, the menus and the tools along with Bridge have icons so small, I cannot read them and in some cases cannot use them. In searching for a resolution, I read that Adobe has an experimental setting in preferences that will correct this problem. However, in checking my copy of CS5, I do not have that setting. How can I get that setting for my copy of CS5 so that I can see and use all of the elements in the program?

Thank you

Just downloaded CS6 on my new laptop and found out that the photoshop menus look really small. Called adobe call center and was referred to download a 3rd party file to solve the problem. FYI adjusting my screen resolution did not solve the problem.

Hi, I don't think that CS6 can cope with this problem. CS6 i very old and you have to have Adobe CC (2015). I have 4k monitors and CC works fine.

When Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver in installed on windows 10, on a laptop with screen resolution 3840x2160 the UI is very very small and does not respond to the change of screen resolution (currently set to 300%).

Indesign and Acrobat pro work fine!
There is inconsistency.

Yes, that's perfect! I will try it this evening. This may save me hundreds of dollars refurbishing my old computer to continue to use Bridge. Many thanks!

I have just tried bridge, I can make it larger using the script (changing the name) and placing it in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS6 (64 Bit)

Shawn's link worked for me as well - but only Photoshop. Yes, I can open ACR in Photoshop and edit pictures there, but I want Bridge to be able to give my pictures star ratings, sort them by lens, easily and quickly compare between two similar pictures, etc. Re Shawn's link, I didn't see a "manifest" file within the Bridge folder on my computer. Has anyone actually gotten Bridge to resize? I don't want to have to learn Lightroom just to do what Bridge does, especially when I have paid good money for presets that only work in ACR. I'd have to buy the Lightroom versions of the presets, which would lighten my wallet a big more. Thanks in advance!
