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 already did that with 13.1 / 13.0.2 on Macintosh.
Windows is more complicated, and we're still talking to Microsoft about how they can make it work correctly.

It should be obvious to all by now that Adobe will not fix the UI of this segment of their product line anytime soon. Instead they will wait till it is too late, when their customer base has left for competing products. Only then will they offer an upgrade for megabucks. Smart move Adobe, just “Let them eat (some more) cake”.

Hello,

Has Adobe CC incorporated scalable interface, made ANY changes at all to the interface to make things larger or easier to see?

I can't believe Adobe have not fixed this problem already. CS7?
FIX IT PLEASE ADOBE, no more squinting (squinting and straining causes blindness, seriously) (Office 2013 fonts are beautiful)

Please read the rest of the topic. Photoshop already supports Retina displays on MacOS.

the adobe UI supersedes the windows settings completely for most apps.

As a result we have reinventions of the wheel multiple times and they aren't even consistent with each other within the ecosystem (photoshop supports enlargement of fonts, whereas Bridge does not)

One would think they'd just pick one interface and run with it across all the apps, you know, cuz they're so busy and all, and interested in streamlining?

There was a time when adobe apps darned near all behaved the same way with only tool changes... but everything went to off on it's own tangent right around the time they bought macromedia.

I kind of have this problem already. My laptop has a 13 inch 1920x1080 screen (very nice wide-gamut IPS-like :P), which is incredibly high PPI for Windows PC standards. Even when the Windows DPI setting is adjusted (also known as "large fonts", which is not what it is) the GUI (and text) in Adobe products remain tiny.

So not only is this a neccesary thing on emerging high PPI screens, it's also poorly conforming to Windows settings. I haven't seen Adobe products on Retina Macbooks, but logic predicts nothing but pain (literally).

You're right - you didn't mention Bridge at all, and the topic says Photoshop.

I guess I wasn't clear. I am talking about Bridge. There is no "interface" option in preferences

Preferences : Interface: UI Font Size

Change it, then relaunch the app.
