150% UI Scaling Option for Photoshop

[Alexander Wong]

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?

update - has messed up my File>>new dialogue box and can no longer read these images because they are so small. ugh

If you are using Windows 10 and CC 2018 version 19.1.2 set your Windiows 10 Displays scaling to 200%

You do realize the implications this has for other applications? That is a fine solution for those that only use Photoshop. Those that use other tools this often creates a larger unsolvable issue. Letting Windows control much of anything other than its core responsibilities is asking for trouble. Remember when they implemented USB 1.0? For goodness sake I have three monitors, when I remote my machine, it can't even remember were to put my desktop icons when I sign of and log back in on the local machine. You expect Windows to properly handle per scale app settings? Forget about it.

No it more like Adobe using your windows display scaling setting  for each of you displays  for the way you want windows to scale what applications display on each of your  displays.  For Adobe original Photoshop  UI scaling scaled all displays either 100% or 200%  there were many issues in  Adobe  Photoshop UI scaling all that should have been scaled was not being scaled and displays that should not have been scaled were being scaled. So Adobe worked with  Microsoft on the problems and new features were added into Windows 10 to help Application like Photoshop use windows scaling for some thing  not all things displayed.   Adobe scales Image  with its owns zoom scaling and displays that one your displays using  each displays native 100% resolution not a scaled lower resolution.

This Reg Hack had no affect for me!

You'll get my vote!

Please add 150% to all Adobe CC!!

We need this. On a 14" laptop with a high-res display (1920x1080), 200% scale is absolutely gigantic and cuts off parts of the UI, while 100% scale is tiny and difficult to use-the phrase threading a needle comes to mind.

I agree wholeheartedly--bootcamping Windows 7 on my 15" retina display Macbook Pro with my screen resolution set down to 1920x1200 and text sixe to 150%--but Photoshop doesn't comply. Too big or too small.

One more vote here. Looking for 150%.

LittleGreenDog‌ Thanks for your suggestion. I'm using 1600x900 now at 100%. Much better than the other options but I'd love to be able to use my full resolution.

[JohnnyRandom]

Has anyone in Dev actually tried any of these settings on a 4k monitor? Seriously, I ask because I am curious. The limited amount of preference options tells me no.

The "Auto" doesn't really seem to conform to anything that I can figure.

Please add at a bare minimum a "150%" option.

[vesam64735801]

Vote from here too for 150 %! Come on Adobe, this scaling thing is driving me nuts (and apparently quite many others as well...)!

[lojustND]

Vote 150 %!  It'll be great!

[jellocube]

My vote also. HD is the way displays are headed for the long haul. Right now I'm resorting to using hotkeys all the time as buttons are just too tedious.

[tommasov89]

Adobe please add 150% scaling!!! (like Illustrator that already has)

[Alvo_dgr]

where?

[StefanWagner]

150% scaling required here as well!

[kraigo]

150% scaling is really need for me. Please, add this option!

[Chris_Giclee]

I'll chime in too, the interface is so small it hurts my eyes on my hi-res monitor, but a 200% enlargement is crazy.

I'd like to see 125%, 150% and 175% options.

[Belaboy]

Was hoping for more scaling options in the latest update, but I guess not. 150% would be great, please, all the other Adobe software can scale to that point, why be inconsistent? Would seriously be a better option for Surface users!!

[PhantomPhungus]

Throwing my vote in the hat. Struggling with this exact issue today.

[baileyj88291742]

150% pleaseeeeeeeeeee

[dkeirle]

This is insane, how can illustrator be fine and Photoshop not?

What is the matter with you Adobe, so poor.

Maybe time to try tools from other suppliers.

[IP21]

Get on it Adobe!

- Custom scaling option is necessary. 150% sounds good.

- Same behaviour through all programs of the CC

Until then, this solution allows custom scalling, the UI is not sharp though:
