    ‌Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop do not support new 4K or 5k resolution yet. Scaling the display to 200% is incorrect way to go about it. If you go to (Mac) Aplications > Lightroom 5 > Get info ! remove tic from box 'Open in High resolution' and the problem will be solved. Lightroom and Photoshop will be the same size as before. I guess it will be some time before Adobe supports 5K monitors...

    you you can do that in each of the programs and it will sort the scaling issue out... The problem with Display scaling is it affects everything... Hope that helps...

    The 200% UI scaling option only affects the interface, not the image.

    The image itself displays as it always has: correctly. At 100% zoom, one image pixel is represented by one screen pixel. That's the only way a professional grade image editor can do it.

      ‌i see it as a problem, not a feature. i want to edit a photo at 100% not 'roughly as they did before'... anyway, I got it right and it works for me... What ever you do or other people do is entirely up to them...

      if it is a feature, why are so many people having 'problems' with it....?

      i Think in fact you and I are talking at crossed purposes.... I am talking about display upscaling the actual display in the iMac user options... I'm not talking about upscaling in Photoshop....


      Because like you, they are having a problem seeing applications that do not user their interface. Because high-resolution displays have a pixel size smaller than low-resolution displays have. Things display smaller on high-resolution displays then the same pixels displayed on low-resolution displays.

      Go to best buy look at all the 1080P displays. The displays that display 1920x1080 pixels.  You will see them on  tablets, on small HDTV and Large Screen HDTV they are all displaying the same 1920x1080 digital images.  The difference is the tablets have a high-resolution display the small HDTV have a low-resolution display and the large screen HDTV have a very low-resolution display. You have no problem seeing each of the pixels on the large screen display, where you need a magnifying glass to see the pixels on the small 8" tablets.

      There is a difference between scaling just the UI and scaling everything being displayed like OS can do. Which defeats high-resolution for things are scaled up in size less can fit on the display the whole display is like a low-resolution display with 1/4 the number of pixels

      If you install Photoshop CC 2014 it has an experimental preference  for 2x UI for displays the have a hihj DOI resolution.   Photoshop UI is  scaled as though your display has half the resolution that it has. Your 3200x1800px 13.3 LCD has a 276 DPI resolution  Photoshop will scale its UI as though your display is a 1600x900PX display with a 138 DPI resolution, Each pixel in the UI will be doubled in width and height.  So four of your display pixels will be use for each of the current UI pixels. The UI will display 4 times the size it currently displays.  However the image area be greatly reduced in size.

      Blimey JJ.  I didn't even think the OP might not be using CC.  It's true what they say about making assumptions.  My bad
