P: Support scalable user interface UI for high resolution monitors

Don't hold your breath.

Yes, we are still working with Microsoft to get the OS issues resolved or worked around. This is a high priority, but if you can make Microsoft move any faster - please go ahead.

And that is the problem. As Adobe's representative you keep maing the same excuses and blame Microsoft. Adobe's Lightroom developers have succesfully addressed the issue as have many of your competitors. Seems like Adobe needs to step up and solve this problem ASAP. Short of that a definitive timeline for getting the problem solved needs to be provided.

I would keep the laptop. It seems really great and many programs are very usable on the Yoga2 Pro, including Adobes very own Lightroom photo organizer/editor software. It makes one wonder what is really going on at Adobe since some of their developers have figured out how to work with current high tech displays while their other developers blame it on Microsoft.The only "official response" seems to just be excuses and passing the buck. And it has been going on for at least 3 years!

If the more limited editing capabilities in Lightroom meet your needs (you can try if for free for 30 days) then switch to that. Otherwise drop Adobe altogether and try some of the lower cost reportedly equally capable options available today. I plan on making the switch to another vendor because I just went through the nightmare of trying to move my photo library (created in Photoshop Elements) to my new Yoga2 Pro only to discover the High DPI monitor defect in Photoshop Elements. I am thoroughly disgusted with Adobes response and lack of credible support.

I appreciate the reply.

I would've appreciated a heads up on the issue before I committed to purchasing either the laptop or your software; especially given the length of time this has been around.

I checked the Systems Requirements page for Photoshop again and did not find a disclaimer that the software would be practically unusable at the native resolutions for these high DPI screens. (...other than a minimum and recommended resolution).

This is Photoshop. You're Adobe. Two of the biggest brands in software. And I'm lead to believe it's Microsoft's problem. It's like saying the dog ate your homework. It doesn't add up.

With respect to short time for Microsoft to afford a fix, this thread refers to Microsoft and Adobe working on the issue 10 months ago. Obviously this is not a serious priority for either company.

Technology doesn't happen in a vacuum these days. The advent of high DPI/high res laptop screens has been years in development.

If I had known about this problem earlier, I might have considered a MacBook Pro instead of the Lenovo. Instead I find myself nearly $1500 in the hole with a month's commitment software package that I can't use. Instead of moving ahead with my business, I have to regroup, replan, and possibly recapitalize.

I doubt that Microsoft will be able to release the necessary OS fixes in such a short time. But we are continuing to work with Microsoft to get the OS issues addressed (or at least worked around) to make this happen.

When we have information that we can share publicly, we will let you know.

Sounds like you have not read the existing replies. We have commented several times.

And, again, we are continuing to work with Microsoft to get the issues in Windows fixed so that we can do this.

There is plenty of software alternatives out there. The Open Source Options are numerous, free, and come equipped with a UI that does not require 'nose to screen viewing' on a high resolution monitor when run in native mode. I would post URLs for these here, but last time I did that, my message was immediately redacted. Hay folks, stop wasting your time posting here. The UI issue has been here for several years now, and the only response has been repeated 'monkey passes' to Microsoft. If you make contributions (or suggestions) to the OS folks there is a good chance the improvement will be incorporated in the next software release. You can DIY if you like, and make a contribution directly as well.

I just got a 13" HP Spectra to do portable photoshop work with state-off-the-art 2500 dpi. Had no idea it would be so unsupported. Every application either has trouble scaling or won't scale. Have not found any high dpi advantages yet for a laptop.

I agree; get a refund while you can. Here & there in the thread, some commenters have mentioned alternatives to the Adobe products that are worth checking out.
