Hi

How can I increase the toolbar size of my Photoshop Elements?  So tiny!  Using a Microsoft Surface Pro.  Thanks

    Which PSE version are you using?

    Go to Edit > Preferences > Displays & Cursors.

    Change the UI scale factor to 200% and re-launch Editor.

    Let us know if it helps.

    Thanks,
    Anwesha

    Hi Anwesha

    Thanks for your help - it did make everything bigger - gigantic infact, which isn't really that helpful! A smaller, more proportionate increase would be more appropriate.

    Thanks

    Unfortunately the UI interface scaling you need to work on a 'semi-HiDpi' display like the Surface pro is lacking. The 200% solution introduced since Elements 13.1 gives too large fonts unless you are on a reall '4k' display.

    Many posts about this:

    150% UI Scaling Option for Photoshop

    See post Nr 19 for a possible workaround.

    For the organizer, the 200% setting does not work. You simply set the font size in the Windows display preferences to 125% or more, which is also useful for many other softwares.
