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

Photoshop does not at this date. There has been a 3 year discussion of this issue with no fix yet from Adobe. My last comment was deleted so this one probably will be also.

Do the CC products like Lightroom, Photoshop and Premiere Pro scale up properly so the menus are normal sized on a high resolution screen using windows 8.1 (for example a 3200x1800 QHD+ laptop screen)?

> anyway, it is so much easier than trying to do everything on one monitor ... I'd use 8 monitors if I could

You can use 9 monitors if you want, if you're on Windows

As long as you complain politely, they can ignore your concern. If you complain impolitely, they delete your comment. This is the arrogance of a large corporation. Note that a whole lot of comments have been deleted recently. In fact, most comments are now deleted. That fact says something ugly about Adobe, and it's not that they delete too many comments. It's the content of what those comments said.

Look, dude, it doesn't matter to me that you say it will be fixed soon in the cloud version. I paid hundreds of dollars last month for the standalone one, but you deliberately made it unusable, gambling that I and everyone else you're screwing over on purpose will pay several times what I paid over time. If you had moved us all to the cloud to prevent piracy, hey no problem! I pay for what I use. But you decided to also start charging 5, 10, or more times as much to use it, depending on how long we users put up with this.

Maybe some will, but I won't. For my purposes, the photoshop-copycat product I won't name out of respect for the fact that this is an Adobe forum suits me fine. I don't need hundreds of brushes or obscure layer-mixing functions.

The only reason I bought PS is that I was curious to see what extra stuff the expensive, industry standard product does. Turns out, it does nothing at all since I can't see the icons or read the menu text. If it wasn't for that, I'd be buying the new version of PS every year just like I've done with the other image editor.

You know very well what you're doing to users like me and you don't care. Your company has what I call the "large corporation psychosis," which is the delusion: "We'll make more money if we do things that make our customers hate us because they HAVE to buy our product!"

Ask Microsoft how that worked out. Ask IBM in the 80s, or American car manufacturers.

I will enjoy watching it happen to you, since you repriced PS so high that the lesser-powered but dirt-cheap clone software becomes a real option for a whole lot of your users.

Hi everyone,

I've already responded that this feature will be available in the next Photoshop update in my official answer for this thread. There is an announcement next week on the 18th. Watch the event here:

Wonder this information was removed - simple Google search come up with snarayen@adobe.com Why censor a post that contains publically available information? Found here http://www.ceoemail.com/s.php?id=9900

For those STILL following this and waiting. I suggest we start discussing it on Twitter. It will reach more people in real time and let anyone getting ready to upgrade computers that Adobe PS will not be readable unless they get a Mac. I sure wish I had known. Try to use hashtags that will reach the most PS photographers.

Google Adobe's financial information, find the CEO's email address and write him a letter. I did months ago. I posted the email address of the CEO, and the Board of Directors but my post was remove, as will this. 🙂

Same response - see previous answers.

If Adobe had their customers best interests at heart - your CEO should be pounding on the door of Microsoft to get this fixed. At the CEO level they can move mountains if they have the desire - they set the priorities of their respective companies. If they were really concerned they could make it happen! So is your CEO aware of the customer dissatisfaction or is he completely in the dark? Is this not the role of the "Customer Advocate" advocate for the customer? Too much water has passed under the bridge, without any substantial updates to make anyone believe this is a priority for Adobe or Microsoft. Complex security flaws can get fixed by Adobe and Microsoft in days - so the wherewithal is there - just needs someone to take the helm and scream this is unacceptable for our customers - let just go get it fixed!
