Question

UI size

Hello everyone, I´m starting to use Photoshop but I´ve noticed that the font size in the UI is too small to be read properly as a person with hyperopia and astigmatism. The thing is, I´ve tried to modify this from the preferences inside the app scalling the UI to 200% but it didn´t work. I´ve tried many different thing including changing the configuration of DPIs in properties-compatibility. 

Still, none of this works. My resolution is 1920 x 1080, I have Windows 11 and my Photoshop version is updated to the last one. 

I hope I can find some help here!

Thanks in advance.

I also have Windows 11 and had the same problem in PSE24.  Right click on the home screen and go to display settings.  There you can reset the magnification (called "scale") and font size.  I think that font size didn't work on PSE24 but I increased magnification to 125% and that fixed the problem.  You may need to experiment with both.

Santa got me a 32" monitor for Christmas 2023- something to consider. 
The average viewsonic 32" monitor on amazon right now is $139.

This is a screenshot  from my 32" monitor, I have zero complaints.

That´s really good! Actually I don´t have any money so I need to find a way to scale the size of the UI on a 24" monitor, which I saw many people CAN do so I don´t know why I cannot do it.
