CS6 and Resolution Problems

[jang43329156]

Have Adobe CS6 and use Dreamweaver a lot.  Had to replace PC which has screen resolution of 3840x2160x59 hertz.  Menu headings and all the icons are so minute, is there any way of increasing the size so that I can read them?  It is the same for Illustrator and Photoshop, InDesign is fine (use all these on a daily basis).

You can always go into your display settings and change the magnification, though the end result may not be what you intended across all apps that you run. Best to use the default settings for your monitor.

depending on the graphic cards driver, you can have access to a profil manager (on the right click menu) and from there having profil with different magnification based on the current workflow...

at least it's what I do for handling my different monitors and resolution, and that works like a charm

just 2 cents...

Thank you, not sure how I find out if I have the option to do this as this sound like a pretty good solution.

well, I use nvidia graphic cards... so when installing the driver, one got (if checkbox is true) when right clicking on the desktop two new menu items A and B...

• A allows you to set up the curent configuration
• B lets you save configuration and then manage all the different configuration profils... (for all the connected monitors independently or all in one)
  beside the screen configuration, you can also set the different applications to be launched... ie on screen 1 and 2 use this resolution and placement, running your local Windows 10 , on screen 3 use a different resolution and launch VirtualBox with a slackware distribution, on screen 4 launch VirtubalBox using W7 and IE and a small resolution...

Do you get the idea ?

so then, once every things is set, you just have to swap NView configurations depending on the type of workflow or type of work that you're in...

DW CS6 is not high-dpi aware, it's just too old. It's also no longer supported by Adobe meaning there won't be an update to fix the issue. Your options are somewhat limited...

- Modify your OS settings as described above
- Get a high-dpi aware version (CC2017 or later)
- Use DW CS6 on a standard resolution monitor

Thank you for your reply.  Was trying to avoid the expense of purchasing new software, it's not a cheap option.  Re changing the monitor, I use an all in one PC.

Thank you, I did find this option and will do this as a last resort.  Don't really want to be contunually changing the magnification.
