Hi.

We installed Adobe Master Colection CS6.

The letters and icons of the program functions are so tiny that they are hard to read.
It is impossible to change anything from the position of the windos on the screen (only the menu changes change).
Please give me some hint

On Windows you can force Windows Display scaling onto CS6.  CS6 does not have Photoshop UI scaling feature and by default CS6 will use your display  high resolution.  The problem is Photoshop CS6 UI was design for a display with a PPI resolution around 100PPI and your New display has much smaller pixels so Photoshop UI will be very small and unusable.

 

With Windows 10 its east to force Windows display scaling onto CS6.    If you then set your Displays Windows scaling to 200% you High Resolution 4K Display will be reflected to Photoshop as a K Display with low resolution.  You 3840x2160 display will look like a 1920x1080 display.   4 or your high resolution Pixels will be used to make 1 of the 1920x1080 pixels.

 

Right Click one the desktop ICON the launches CS6 click properties. Then use the Compatibility Tab's Change high DPI settings. override and select System enhanced.  Do not forget to set your display's windows scaling to 200%
