Font sizes too small in Lightroom

I really do not know what you are thinking by putting all the text in a smaller font than the menu buttons and those are already small on a big monitor.    I cannot read most of what you are displaying now and when I go to the preferences for 150% or 200% nothing happens.    For example the location names of the file are almost half height of the menu font on my 2k monitor with win 11.  I will not continue paying for something I cannot use.

Hey, @Brent6C1A. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

 

What resolution & scaling is your monitor set up to work at? You can check the Windows Search > Display Settings. 

 

Try this:

Go to the following location on Windows and set the scaling options in Explorer to find out what works best for your setup.

  • C:\Program Files\Adobe\Lightroom > Lightroom.exe
  • Right-click on Lightroom.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Change Settings for all users > Change High DPI Settings > High DPI Scaling Override > Check the option 'Override High DPI scaling behavior.' > Scaling Performed by > Test & choose from the following options one by one > Application, System & System (Enhanced)
  • Apply each of these settings and test which works best for you. 

 

Let me know how it goes,

Thanks!
