150% UI Scaling Option for Photoshop

I'd been trying to get some feedback from the guys at Adobe regarding this, but seems like no one has seen or heard this pleas. I'm currently using a Surface Pro 3 to work on Photoshop, and while I really appreciate the fact that Adobe introduced the 200% scaling option, it's really too big to do anything productively. It's definitely usable, but is it the best scaling? I would really hope 150% scaling option to be added as well. So we could toggle between it base on our preference.

What do you guys think?

    The way this is supposed to work now, is that Photoshop UI scaling automatically follows the Windows setting, in 25% increments.

    The crucial point is that the image window itself maintains independent scaling, so that 100% still means one image pixel represented by exactly one screen pixel. This is what's new, and this is what has been difficult to implement before. This is what took so long.

    Note that this requires Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, and it does not work on Windows 7 or 8.

    Ican't use Photoshop anymore. I'm a web designer and 100% view size being half the size that everyone else sees it in a web browser is doing my head. Yes I know I can go to "low resolution mode" if I want constant headaches and drepression, but I'd rather just throw this idiotic program in the bin and find an alternative. The only problem is I've been using Adobe Photoshop for 20 years, so I have no idea what the alternative is - can anyone recommend software that understands and supports this retina display issue in an ACTUALLY USABLE WAY?

      PLEASE add more scale options, the 100% option on a 27" screen is really too small and can cause eye strain... The 200% option is gigantious (gigantic and ridiculous).

      I have not seen Adobe reply here at all :/

      Adobe upped my subscription by $30 (just for PS) due to "currency exchange rates have fluctuated significantly " (Ehem, the AUD hasn't changed since they last upped the price for the same reason...).

      Maybe they can employ some staff with all that bonus money in aspects other than marketing and finance.

      It's been years and years, Adobe. I've only ever asked for this feature.

      Agree but best bet is to also submit a feature/feedback request!

      There's actually no point in discussing if its a difficult task or not or how to solve it. And I agree with Multiplex​, its pathetic!!! Because they had 2-3 years now, and no matter how they solve it, it should have been finished a long time ago or not started on this feature at all and let WIndows just do UI scaling. It seems to me Adobe just released it, assumed it was perfect and didn't actually test it properly. then moved all the engineers onto other tasks and left it at that. But, they surely know how to solve it in some of their teams. All the Mac applications works fine. But not only that, all the windows apps works fine too! Except Photoshop. If you drag Illustrator from one screen to another with different resolution, everything adapts instantly. If you do the same in AE or Premiere or Indesign, same thing... it adapts!

      Photoshop, just keeps the pixel size of everything. Even if they only have 100% and 200%, they should at least, if you select "auto" in settings, be able to auto switch between the two. So that you can move the UI between screens. But nope, you need to restart the freekin program!!. Its utterly Pathetic and I wish Photoshop had a competitor I could use, because paying for Photoshop, getting features I dont need when they don't fix their bad mistakes pisses me off!! And their response to complaints are getting more hostile and less service minded every time someone brings it up, as if we are asking for the impossible. Arrogance and negligence

      +1. Luckily it seems others have spotted this attitude from Adobe to Photoshop and Lightroom and as a result there are several promising new entrants to the market of late.

        +1 for 150% scaling! 100% is too small, 200% too large

        I'm really hoping to see a 150% UI option on Photoshop like the one in Lightroom...just bought a 1080 laptop and the only reason I decided to keep my recent Photography subscription is that at least Lightroom has a workable UI for my monitor. Keep up the good work..!

        Really hope this inconsistency gets fixed. Using Photoshop on my Microsoft Surface Pro (for me as teacher as well as for my students) is not ideal. 150% scale please.

        There are a few posts on the feedback site.  That's where Adobe looks to see what needs attention, so adding a 'Me too' to one of those threads might be helpful.   You are certainly very far from alone in wanting this feature.

        Our company just got a dozen brand new 4k displays and we use Adobe products on (nearly) all of them. This 150% scaling option is sorely needed; no other (third party) solution seems to give wanted results.

        Adobe, please do not ignore this thread and please accommodate us with higher DPI displays!

        Just to sum up all the posts here. As one of them said:

        I don't see why Photoshop wouldn't follow the applied OS (Windows 8.1) UI Scaling setting like all other apps do...

        There is a reason for this. Almost any other application can just scale everything up. UI, document window, the whole thing, all in one go. Done.

        Photoshop is a special case, because it has to treat UI and document window differently. It cannot scale up the document window - it has to remain at 100% where one image pixel is represented by one screen pixel.

        Those who can't grasp the significance of this - stop and consider the Photoshop user base. This isn't an app primarily used for web design. This is a professional tool for photographers, print designers, medical and forensic workers. It is used by scientists and researchers. Photoshop has to display accurately, it cannot allow any random pixel scaling of the image.

        So this is the problem, and this is why it requires special operating system support. 200% scaling is easy to do - just map one image pixel to four screen pixels. 150% is a different animal.

        Yes, 150% UI scaling is highly useful and massively requested. Rest assured they're working on it. It's just not as simple as it sounds.

        That's nice to know, thank you for that insight. Feel better now?

        Oh, BTW, how do you propose an image pixel is best represented by 2.67 screen pixels? We'd all like to know.

        Well, there is this thing called antialiasing, but I'm guessing Adobe could simply move to a vector graphics based UI.
