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

I used the link posted by Shawn on my machine which happens to be the same as yours. Not ideal, but it now means I can use the software

200% UI Scaling is available in Photoshop CC 2014 and CC 2015.
No, Mondo has nothing to do with it. And I'm not even sure why you thought that it might...

Shawn, thanks for the link. It has fixed both Adobe products and a bespoke piece of software too

I think the 200% UI scaling is not available anymore, since there is the changeto mondo basing scripts. Shouldn ́t that change to mondo make an automatic scaling of menus?

Thanks for posting, Shawn! Do you think creating a manifest file for Bridge would work as well? The only manifest file in the Bridge folder is Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest.

Turn on the 200% UI scaling preference.

To make CS 6 work on high res monitors, I followed this tutorial and it works on my computer for several of the cs6 programs:

No, in CC 2015 it moved out of experimental features and into the interface section of preferences.

I would like to use Bridge to tag, rate, batch rename, easily batch edit, etc. I hate to have to switch to Lightroom now since I have never used it. Also, I purchased a few hundred dollars worth of ACR pre-sets that are hard to batch experiment on a set of photos when opening them in PS.

So a follow-up question to your post: were is this "ui pH" experimental option to change the scale? I can't find it under edit/preferences. Can you please post specific instructions on how to find it in PS CC 2015? Thanks!
