Hi I have purchased a new computer that has a 4K monitor.

My Adobe Fireworks CS6 desktop now displays tiny icons.

Does adobe have a more recent Adobe Fireworks that is not cloud driven that installs and runs on a PC?

Thank you

    Hi Kglad,

    Thank you for the reply.

    I already have these updates.

    These updates are not compatible with 4K monitors.

    Fireworks desktop icons are so tiny you need a magnifying glass to see them.

    This was also the case with several other programs I own.

    The manufacturers of my other programs released 2017 upgrades that displays properly on 4K monitors.

    Adobe Fireworks is the only program left that I have that is not compatible with 4K monitors.

    Adobe should be providing a 2017 Adobe Fireworks CS7.

    Adobe Fireworks is simply a fantastic program there is no excuse not to release a 2017 update.

    Do you know if there is a substitute from another manufacturer?

    Thank you.

    CS6 is 4+ years old and is the last version with a serial number... if you want a newer Adobe program, it is a Cloud subscription
