Small toolbar fro PSE 10 / Windows 10

I installed my old (2011) Photoshop Elements 10 to my new PC with a Windows 10. All worked fine until suddenly all the toolbar legens turned very small, almost unreadable. Maybe a Windows update caused this problem. I tried to switch the UI scalefactor from Preferences as adviced by MichelBParis Sept. 3. 2017 in this forum, but my version does not have that option. I also tried to reinstall the whole program, but the problem remains. What can I do get the normal fontsize back?

 

Thanks in advance,

Mikael

    Hi Mikael,

     

    I run my copy of Elements 10 on Windows 10 with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 using the following settings:

     

    - Right-click on C: > Program Files (x86) > Adobe > PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe, and choose Properties

    - Select the Compatibilty tab, and click the Change high DPI settings button

    - Under High DPI scaling overide, click the Override high DPI scaling behavior checkmark, and choose System from the dropdown menu for Scaling performed by:

     

    That makes for a pretty comfortable viewing experience for me, and hopefully it'll work in your case too 🙂

    Hi, PhilDC!

     

    It did work – many thanks! The overall resolution dropped as well, but I’ll probably find a way to fix that, too now that know where to look for.

     

    Best,

    Mikael
