Can Menus Be Enlarged in Photoshop Elements?

Is it possible to enlarge the text in the menus on Photoshop Elements or is it a case of having to increase the resolution on the monitor? Depending on how far away from the screen I am will determine what's on the screen. It's hurting my eyes trying to see what the menus are saying.

    Hi,

    We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you are facing.

    In case you are on version 14 or 15 of PSE then you can control it from Preferences (Cmd/Ctrl + K) > Display & Cursors > High Density Displays > UI Scale Factor.

    Set this value to suit your comfort and restart PSE.

    In case you are on lower versions then you would have to control it using the system resolution settings.

    Thanks,

    Arshla

    No, you did not say that.

    Is it Elements 13.0 or 13.1 ? If you have Elements 13,0, use the menu Help > Update to go update to version 13.1 which will enable the dialog shown by Arshla.

    Your problem is typical of users having a high resolution display. What is the size of the display in inches and its size in pixels?

    Without that info, we can't give good advice.

    Which version of Elements are you running?

    Have you tried Preferences > Display & Cursors > High Density Displays > UI Scale Factor?
