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?

This hack had no affect for me?

4K screen user here.
I need the fix. 200% is too big, 100% is too small. Different options would be nice too. 125, 150, 175 etc.

I am also struggling with the UI scaling, particularly on a 4k monitor. So many Adobe products incorporate a slider or incremental ability, would this too difficult to install for users employing different screen size/resolution?  I love the additional relative space at 100%, but as we know the tools and palettes become so tiny they are difficult to use at 200%. My guess for me might be 150-175%. In PS this would be an embraced addition, but many Adobe products would benefit users directly and quickly with this option. So...please?  I did say please   I know I would welcome that addition and be grateful for it!  Thx...

3440x1440 here. 100% is way to small, 200% is way to big. Don't know why it is difficult to provide more options such as 150%, 175% or even customize percentage.

I don't pretend to know why it is difficult, but let's just assume that it is a non-trivial change. The more "Like" votes up at the top, the more likely it is to be a priority. So just keep getting people to vote up at the top and we should see some attention given to the problem.

Exactly the same issue here.
100% too small

200% too big...

[Gecko_Tucson]

Same problem here...100% is way to small, 200% is way to big. Can't work like this! Please Adobe - provide more options such as 150%, 175% or even customize percentage so we can actually use Photoshop with new technology.

+1 Please add 150% UI option.

[tilob91253837]

Same problem, 100% to small, 200 to big!

[EposVox]

Over a year past the original post and I'm still looking for a solution.

I don't use normal Windows Scaling and would like to scale the program. But 200% - even on my UHD display - looks ridiculous.

[Indiemarla]

I completely agree that we need 125% and 150%. I have a 1920 x 1080 display on my Windows laptop, and using PS on the 100% (or auto) scaling setting is difficult as the UI is so small. But 200% is way too big. I don't want to use the registry hack because I sometimes plug in a 24" 1920 x 1080 monitor.

Illustrator looks great of course. Photoshop and Bridge make it very hard to work. Please add more scaling options!

[jayjapanb]

Still a problem. I understand it is a hard thing to fix but in the past year you managed to raise my prices and not implement any reasonable requests such as 150% scaling. In that time you could have overhauled the UI system. All my other programs manage to scale correctly. Photoshop is the only one that doesn't. This has gone on far too long.

[HelloFurnitureDolly]

Insane. Not only is 150% necessary, consider that many of us use more than one display and many, especially laptop users, might have one Hi-DPI display and one standard display. I happen to have two 24" displays, one 4k and one HD.

Only allowing us to set one of the other is a joke. Here's my setup at 100%:

Not too bad, but really hard to see what's going on on the 4k display. Here's 200%:

Seriously, a 24" display at 1920x1200 that can barely hold the tool palette. The screenshots don't do it justice, it's really rather amusing. From a creative / content development company at that. Even better is it seems all of Adobe's products are diverging from a UI perspective. Premiere works just fine with this setup:

Illustrator works pretty well, too:

But Photoshop, Adobe's bread and butter? Nope. And they've had plenty of time to take care of it, too.

What's up, Adobe?

[jayjapanb]

Keep in mind, people suggesting the regedit that the registry edit isn't a perfect fix. I have been using it for a year and a half and it's great and all but it is just stretching a lower resolution image. It's workable but isn't really doing our displays justice.

It's been years since high resolution displays started becoming prominent. When does a feature request start just being a bug?

Any progress, Adobe?

[jlyonVT]

Same issue here. Where is 150%?

[donbarrum]

I assume it's pointless for me to throw in my vote of frustration here since this thread is more than a year old and no response from Adobe has appeared. But I use a 4K display and a Wacom cintiq with 1920x1080. i need to state that every program I have works fine excet photoshop!!! (Which is my main tool)

i like to use both displays for work. The cintiq when I draw and the 4K screen when I do more technical stuff. if I set the UI scaling to 200% the ui becomes too big on my cintiq and some of the menus goes outside the screen and with 100% it becomes too small on my 4K display. the auto setting doesn't seem to do anything at all! i hoped if I did mirror display it would change based on screen resolution so that when I use my cintiq and mirror and both monitors become 1920x1080 photoshop would automatically revert the UI scaling but no!! So now I'm stuck to only work on the cintiqand not use photoshop at all on my 4K display. Seriously adobe after 1 year+ is this the best you can do? Have you tested the use cases with the UI scaling? With this feature working so bad you would be better if just let Windows do the scaling for you.     ...please Adobe, respond to this thread and please improve this feature!

[keseyrage]

Seriously, fix this please. We need 150. 100 is tiny and 200 is huge.

[donbarrum]

I dont think Adobe is even reading these posts, because there's not a single response from them in this thread and the problem has been going on for a long time. I advise you to please post on the Bug report Community Support too, since it might be a bigger chance that Adobe will listen. They have ignored my posts so far, but perhaps if more people complaint there they do something about it.

+1 for %125, %150 and %175 scaling. This shouldn't be that hard right Adobe? In the end, you guys are the creators of the best creative apps...

[davidsteltz]

YES 100% is WAY too small, and 200% is WAY too big! Some dialog windows don't even fit on the screen at 200% PLEASE give us 150% Adobe!

[zivshek]

AI works just fine, but PS? I vote for adding 150%

[oga2x]

Absolutely Agree!!!

[johnnysmith0825]

Its almost 2017 now any of you adobe guys want to actually help with this? Hi Def scaling looks absolutely horrible on my monitor...

[pierBover]

Come on Adobe... It's almost 2017 and we live in a world with many different screen sizes, resolutions, and DPIs.
