150% UI Scaling Option for Photoshop

I'd been trying to get some feedback from the guys at Adobe regarding this, but seems like no one has seen or heard this pleas. I'm currently using a Surface Pro 3 to work on Photoshop, and while I really appreciate the fact that Adobe introduced the 200% scaling option, it's really too big to do anything productively. It's definitely usable, but is it the best scaling? I would really hope 150% scaling option to be added as well. So we could toggle between it base on our preference.

What do you guys think?

Correct answer D Fosse

The way this is supposed to work now, is that Photoshop UI scaling automatically follows the Windows setting, in 25% increments.

The crucial point is that the image window itself maintains independent scaling, so that 100% still means one image pixel represented by exactly one screen pixel. This is what's new, and this is what has been difficult to implement before. This is what took so long.

Note that this requires Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, and it does not work on Windows 7 or 8.

I don't know if Adobe is paying attention to this forum, but if they are, 150% UI scaling please! I use a 2560 x 1600 monitor. 100% is way too small and 200% is ginormous.

Just another person that completely agrees. 150% would be perfect for my display. I hope Adobe takes notice and adds this option very soon!

One more vote for 150%

Just bought a new 2k monitor and it looks beautiful on Illustrator yet so unreasonably big or small on Photoshop. Here's hoping Adobe takes care of this ASAP.

This is insane, how can illustrator be fine and Photoshop not?

What is the matter with you Adobe, so poor.

Maybe time to try tools from other suppliers.

Get on it Adobe!

- Custom scaling option is necessary. 150% sounds good.

- Same behaviour through all programs of the CC

Until then, this solution allows custom scalling, the UI is not sharp though:

Was hoping for more scaling options in the latest update, but I guess not. 150% would be great, please, all the other Adobe software can scale to that point, why be inconsistent? Would seriously be a better option for Surface users!!

I'll chime in too, the interface is so small it hurts my eyes on my hi-res monitor, but a 200% enlargement is crazy.

I'd like to see 125%, 150% and 175% options.
