P: Support scalable user interface UI for high resolution monitors

CS6 interface way too small for my 4K monitor. Text UI is already set to Large. Can we have an Extra Large option that triples the size of Large? This is going to increasingly become a problem as 4K monitors become more popular.

Its not possible to see the menu bar well in HiDPI Monitors. The menu structure has been changed within Illustrator but Photoshop has been forgotten?
We all have to pay for our suite, so it would be nice to use it in an adequate manner.

The Photoshop user interface does not scale the menus and tools to allow me to use the software with my laptop's high resolution display. I have a 15.6" laptop (XPS 15). Photoshop looks okay with my 1920x1080 22" monitor, but sometimes I like to do simple editing with a laptop. This isn't the only software I've had a problem with, but Microsoft software looks great, so I know it can be addressed,

ALL Adobe products require the same fix! Large monitors are NOT supported with full 1080p resolutions, period.

Here's the thing, full HD on a 50" screen for example, makes all the tools very small, and all UI text except for that which windows controls.

I've seen many posts with replies from the Adobe community staff about DPI, when they clearly do not grasp the fact DPI has NOTHING to do with images or there size, which includes all tools & text within Adobe interfaces.

So if I set the windows TEXT DPI to larger (150%), everything displays correctly from web browsers to many other software apps, except for Adobe products. Again, ignore the file / edit etc menu bar, I'm talking the products UI which you CAN NOT ALTER!

There's one small option within preferences for making the UI font small, medium or large, which has insignificant impact & again doesn't effect any tools.

Especially in todays world where monitor & tv sizes have increased & devalued, any artists working on larger screens are suffering. Generally it's OK for people with say 20 - 30" screens who sit at a desktop, but anything more, where you can't sit close to the screen, it's a problem.
It's also still a problem for some at those screen sizes too, however not so much so.

Having a fixed size UI, especially going into the future, just isn't good enough, I'm sure Adobe must be aware of 4k being around the corner & of general screen sizes & resolutions, so surely a solution where the customers can alter the interface, is far better than the out of date, fixed sizes.

Almost all areas of the UI can be moved, snapped & such, however they can not be enlarged, with all adobe products, this is the same problem, not just Photoshop.

Just as the designs for all Adobe products are universal, so should the options to change the interface in both size & layout, be universal accross all products.

The user interface in Photoshop CS6 is so small that it is virtually unusable on my laptop. I have to go on memory of what the items and icons mean.

It seems to be designed to be used only by eyes that are less than 25 years old.

This is a major problem

I did try replacing the low res icons with the useless hi rez icons (since i'm on windows) where applicable so I could have at least a few large icons, but there seems to be a check sum elsewhere that references the idx file.
Since adobe designed the idx file with extra code to identify what icon is being loaded it's all just a big frankencode mess - not to mention the mockery of file naming strategies between "matching" images or lack thereof. So with the PS app checking byte sizes it didn't work... I haven't had time to source out the specific lines to rectify that though.

I mean you guys went to some massive effort to make excessively bloated code. If hi rez isn't support in windows, why bloat my software with the files for it?
Kind makes me wonder why since it's there you don't just add the prefernce "choice".
Or are you gonna pull an Apple on us and release the obvious as a feature - like inDesign CC now having a pretty dark interface. Great feature.

but hey, what do I know right?
Well, aside from there is absolutely no reference in any of this to the OS being at fault.

At least you have the open and save dialogues on all the adobe apps at a win7 level now... that's only been missing since 2009. A three year gap on that isn't too shabby.
I guess then we'll have a scalable UI next year?

Um photoshop doesn't use native os controls for icons.

Icons for ps are found on my win8 here :
C:/program files/adobe/ps cs6/resources/ icon resources.idx, with the high and low Rez dat files

A similar folder is on the Mac.

Nothing at all to do with OS.

So sorry Chris, try again.

That was using Flash, not native OS controls.
Please read what has already been written in this topic.

When I made a photoshop extension plugin like kuler with flex tools, which was fully scalable with no issue. Working on it? For 2years on this issue? Close or sell the company plz.

Scaling doesn't need os support at all. I was an windows programmer.So stop saying bullshits and just explain with professional language. I think it is you who don't have any idea on this issue at all. Get somebody actuallyknows something plz.
