recent eye surgery has left me unable to read the small print interface in LR classic. I would like to make the interface only larger for my poor eyesight, but keep the zoom options for the image as usual. Is this possible? Mac OS sonoma 14.6.1. Up to date Photoshop 2025. Lightroom classic v14.0.1

macOS

Another option is to go into your system preferences and change the displays option to "Larger Text". This will keep the image display the same but enlarge all the text and other interface elements such as menubar etc.

To be clear: are you saying that MacOS limited options for display overide LrC software prefs? I may be mistaken; but as I worked yesterday I thought (in Photoshop/andor Bridge) I DID see those multiple software view options. Thanks so much.

No just that in Lightroom CLassic, on a Mac you only get two font size options. The options you get in display system settings just scale everything including font sizes, so on Macs you have more granularity if you need bigger fonts there because for some reason the options in Lightroom Preferences are more limited then on windows. Disadvantage might be that interface elements also scale.
