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?

    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 just downloaded Photoshop CC 2017 trial and this small UI is the first thing I noticed. Can't believe this thread is two years old and nothing was done yet.

      After this length of time I've given up on Adobe expending the tiny effort required to make this happen.

      I have a low-end 3D 'hobbyist' app which I use occasionally. I can scale the user interface by practically anything I like (currently at 127%), a feature they introduced because a few people told them it would be useful. There's nothing complicated about it, it just works.

      Agree... Adobe you suck!

      I run dual screens at 3840 x 2160 and 200% operating on two separate Nvidia Quadro K2200 cards looks like I am drawing with crayons. Not to mention when there is any kind of selection active the entire interface is reduced to a crawl..

      This is unacceptable... Autodesk seemed to get it right, whats up Adobe?????

        2017... still no answer to your customers, talking about the problem....

        We need to know why this issue has not been solved, in order to understand the delay of the solution.

        I posted in this thread in August 2016. By December 2016 I had given up trying to use Photoshop on my 15" HD laptop screen, and bought a pair of 24" HD (1920x1080) monitors and now only do Photoshop work at my desk. It is a joke that I had to invest in less advanced technology, and have to be tethered to my desk, in order to use this program comfortably.
