the first image is not in full screen mode. the second image is in full screen mode.

 

photoshop CC has been running fine for me for a long time. ever since this new most recent update, the camera raw filter window has been larger than my computer screen. at first, it was super wide. i hovered my mouse over the edge of the window and i brought it in as far as it will go. i tried using the full screen option, but half of the histogram is cut off. the smallest available size for that camera raw window is still too big. is there a way to make it fit on my screen like it did last week and before?

 

 

running windows 10 by the way.

This issue sound to be relay persistent. After 3 years of this thread: I am experiencing the same issue with my brand-new laptop + brand new last version 2021 version of the photoshop. The camera raw is too big! I tried all the solutions in this thread. The only working solution is to change the scale preference of my system and sacrifice all the other application to rescue my Adobe Camera raw. This is my first month with personal adobe, shall I switch back where I came from? N.B: I know how photoshop work from my workstation, but this is the first time I install it in my personal laptop as I used to relay on other software.

If your issue has not yet resolved, and you have not tried reset as yet, you could try it to see if it will work. There are three ways of doing it I will first give you the info for the one I used to resolve an issue developed with my camera raw filter since my last post. This you need to know, all your preference settings will be lost with this method.

With Photoshop closed, hold down ctrl + Alt + Shift and click to open Photoshop. A dialog box will pop-up saying delete the adobe photoshop settings files. Click on it. Choose no on the next dialog box, and Photoshop will come up with the original settings.

Here is another method. Go to Edit> Preferences > General > Reset Preferences on Quit and then close and restart Photoshop.

The third is more selective, but more technical.  An audio/video at Preferences in Photoshop explains two methods: the more selective method and the first method I describe above. (Note: in the first method above you can hold down the keys first then click immediately after. The idea is to have all 4 action at once)

If reset does not work you could probably browse through Solve Adobe Photoshop problems and issues by keeping it up-to-date to see if there's any other suggestion that you might find helpful.

I hope this was helpful

hi...same problem here. as solution seems to help scaling less than 150%, may even be 149% scale in display advanced scaling setings. I have a 14' inches with full hd resolution. the problem is that, when scaling less than 150%, just the adobe raw interface seems to be scaled at 100%, resulting in a window with perfect matching, but with very small text (as in 100% scaling).

I had the same problem in Windows 7.

This works for me:-

Go to just above top right corner of Camera Raw window (to right of "preview"

Toggle to full screen and all Camera Raw window shows.

Toggle again; window still shows.

I hope this works for you.

This has also happened to me.  It has absolutely nothing to do with Windows display settings.  The issue has just started with a recent update.

In Photoshop CC2018 on Windows 10, there was a change in that Photoshop now picks up the interface scaling setting from Windows > Settings rather than from Photoshop preferences. So JJMack's question is very relevant.

I've been trying to fix this issue for months now, the only work around I have been able to find is to change the scale and layout ratio in the Windows 10 display from the recommended 150% to 125%.

It wrecks every other program you're running (Outlook, browser etc.) making them too small and unfocused to look at but Photoshop and Camera Raw will fit correctly.

I've gotten used to changing back and forth each time I flick from Photoshop back to another program, it's a pain in the bum but there you go.

All settings/System/Scale and Layout/125%
