Windows 10 and I have just downloaded Photoshop elements 2020. I have used older version before.

Upon opening first photo I see that it is squished from bottom to top. Is there a setting I can change.

I can't use it this way!

That is an unusual resolution for a modern computer/display. If you go to the dropdown menu, is that the recommended resolution? If not, change it to the "recommended" size.:

Added: I just looked up your monitor specs. You need to change the resolution to 1920x1200.

Sorry for not noticing your posts about your OS. 🤐

Have you tried changing your Windows' Scale and Layout settings? Go to Settings>System>Display>Scale and Layout.

Here’s what I did,

I right clicked on my main screen, I chose display settings, I clicked on display and in the scale and layout it has 100% and the only other choices are 125% or 150%. my display resolution is at 12:80×1024. My orientation is at landscape.

When I go into advanced , my bit depth is 8 bit colour, format RGB colour space standard dynamic range SDR
set up Is - display one - I cannot change it

My Monitor is Samsung 2433BW

I went on the buttons on the side of the monitor and changed the scale size and position image size to “auto”.... this has corrected my problem however now none of my windows are utilizing the full size of my monitor it’s 2 inches short on both sides.

How can I change this?
