P: Support scalable user interface UI for high resolution monitors

Hello,

I'm a fairly young person with pretty good vision. I have astigmatism which only effects my vision of objects very far away. I'm in a creative field and use photoshop and illustrator every day. Your software isn't just important to me, its how I feed and clothe myself.

I've got a nice big shiny iMac with a native screen size of 2560 x 1440, which makes working on my artwork so much better. However, I can't make out the UI of Illustrator and Photoshop without staining or staying closer to my monitor then I'd like to be. The icons are so teeny tiny! The tools themselves end up about a quarter inch on one side, and most buttons smaller then that.

I do get around well enough simply by memory and what I can make out. Anchor points, however, are a nightmare. I've used preferences to make them as large as possible and even then, they can be difficult to select.

I appreciate a neat organized screen as much as the next person, but if someone with average vision like me can't make things out easily, it must be awful for those worse off. I'm sure it will take a lot of work, but please consider making more UI size options. Until then I'll do my best to take care of my eyes!

Thank you,
Paloma

"Retina" is not the only high resolution display, but your 30" 2560x1600 is still only 100.6 ppi - and that is pretty normal.
But as this thread shows that far from all users have perfect vision, and displays will only keep getting higher resolution.

"Retina" is not the only high resolution screen.

Some may have better eyesight, but for me Photoshop's interface is barely legible on a 30" 2560x1600. Why not use the high resolution assets developed for "Retina" to offer me larger GUI?

I am in my 50's my eyesight is not improving, for the sake of us dinosaurs, maybe your product might install a visual font size preference in the future. Thank you for the trial offer but quite honestly it's given me a headache!

Hi IJ,

I'm one of those 'aging' designers Adobe expects to change their careers, if they can't read the CS-n menu's anymore. A year ago I had a new high-res 24 inch monitor. Sent it back because I could not find any way to adjust fontsize and user interface in my CS4. Now I'm still working on my old CRT screen hoping for better days.
I want to have a CHOICE.
I want to adjust my workspace the way I like. Even my chair has more options than Adobe' s "Creative" Suite.
I want to choose menucolors, fontsizes, screensizes, resolutions, dotpitches, aspect ratio's etc. etc.
I don't play games or watch DVD's on my monitor screen. I design books and websites and that is my JOB.
I want to work for at least 8 hours a day with all the CS software without getting headaches and eyestrain.
Machines and software are supposed to serve ME, not the other way around.

Time to check out alternatives. If there are any.

Huh? Card or not, if Adobe was losing product sales (market share) and receiving lots of product returns (Increased Cost of Sales), as their customer base "moved on", they would have fixed the subject problem a long time ago. It’s a "walk the walk" vs. “talk the talk" state of “love” affairs.

Oh, you are quite a card, William :~) Why would Adobe count on my (or anyone else's for that matter) reluctance to move on? No offense, but that makes no sense :~/ It has nothing to do with reluctance, at least for me.

According to Sarah Brightman, it moves on. Adobe is counting on your reluctance to do the same.

Ha ha ha, William :~) And according to Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Love Never Dies, so there :~)

It's little too late now for me to "migrate" to other software, as I've been using Photoshop, Illustrator and PageMaker/InDesign since the early 1990s, so the only "learning curve" for me is the UI :~) I do this for fun anyway, not for profit~~it's just avery expensive hobby :~) But thank you for your concern and your suggestions!
