How Do You Increase Camera RAW Interface Font Size?

How do you increase the font size in Camera RAW's interface within Photoshop? When opened via Bridge, ACR seems to inherit Bridge preferences - but not so in Photoshop. I got a higher resolution monitor, and now ACR is almost unusable for me. (Yes, I changed my video settings in Windows 10).

Anyone here has found solution for the super tiny fontsize of camera raw in PHotoshop? it hurts my eyes. So tiny, very tiny, thanks


What version of Photoshop and what version of the camera raw plug-in are you using?

 

Current versions (Photoshop 22.x and Camera Raw 13.x) get their scaling from the OS.

Hello,

I don't think, that the problem is solved here. I also do not see the answer to the question.

The question was:

"why the ACR GUI looks different when opened from Bridge (for me it looks correct) and when opened from PS (for me is the whole right sight i.e fonts symbols etc. too big)"

I am using Photoshop 2022 and the CR 14.5 and it seems, that the problem persists.

Thank you for your help

    Hi, Camera Raw is a plugin, and its host application needs to support non-integrer scaling (125, etc) in order for ACR to scale accordingly.

    So following this logic, the PS does not support this feature (non-integrer scaling), while the Bridge does.
    So it seems clearly to be a PS bug. Other there are another reasons?

    I am using a 32-inch "2K" monitor - 2560 x 1440 pixels, 93 ppi.

    With display settings set at 125%, the ACR interface is tiny, no matter

    how I set interface preferences in Photoshop.

    Attached ACR_Small_Screen.jpg is a screenshot with UI Font Size set to

    large and UI Scaling set to Auto (100% and 200% settings have no effect

    on font size).

    With display settings set at 150%, the ACR interface is HUGE, no matter

    how I set interface preferences.

    Attached ACR_Giant_Screen.jpg is a screenshot with UI Font Size set to

    tiny and UI Scaling set to Auto (100% and 200% settings have no effect

    on font size).

    I shut down and restarted Windows, and shut down and restarted Photoshop

    at each stage.

    I find that the tiny font is hard to use, the giant font requires

    scrolling to get through the settings - I'd love to have the happy

    medium that I had before. Photoshop's UI Font Size setting doesn't seem

    to have any effect on the ACR Font Size.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello, you need to use the web interface instead of replying to email to attach screenshots.

    Which version of Camera Raw and Photoshop are you using? 19.1.4 for Ps?
