PSE 13 on a 4K-screen

Hello,

I have a 4K laptop nvidia mx150 intel i7 8th gen touchscreen, I have just downloaded a free trial and I have noticed that the System Requirements for PSE 2018 are 1280 x 800 display resolution (at 100% scale factor). So it's true it's not really compatible with my laptop. The best I could do is set the software at 200% and then into the properties of the file (right click on the PSE file exe), in compatibility,  I set to override high DPI scaling behaviour as system. It's improving just a bit, the menu is showing anyway very small, while the icons are at a reasonable size. I even tried to lower my screen resolution to 2K but it's still not supported. My impression is it's not performing very well on my laptop and the interface is not great at all. So I am sorry I hope in the future they will take into consideration that the newest screens moved to 2 and 4K and that lower resolutions are not meant for photo editing or graphic design anymore.

Did you upgrade to PSE 13.1 ?

That updated version should automatically switch to the 200% view for 4k displays.

I think you can switch manually in the menu Edit >> Preference, Display and cursor (button on the bottom of the dialog).

That option does not work for the Organizer, but the organizer does recognize the Windows displays settings options. Setting the fonts to 125 or 150% is a common choice.
