If you have Windows 10, simply go into Program Files\Adobe\Adobe CS6 folder and left-click on the Photoshop CS6.exe file. From the Context menu that opens, go down to the bottom, choose "Properties" and the Properties dialog opens.
Click on the Compatibility tab there and you should see the scaling options you see in the screenshot, but for Photoshop.

This is a little late,
but for windows, I found that if you navigate to where the actual application file(.exe) is,
right-click it and select properties,
choose the compatibility tab and select "Change high dpi settings" under the settings section,
in the next window, select the checkbox that says "High DPI scaling override",
and choose "System" from the drop down.
-Hit ok to save the changes, and then re-open Photoshop(i've only tested it with photoshop and illustrator).
That fixed it for me.

(The instructions are below.)
Step 1: Tell windows to prefer an external manifest file
(Always make sure to backup the registry before making any changes.)
- Press Windows Button + R, type “regedit”, and then click OK.
- Navigate to the following registry subkey:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > SideBySide
- Right-click, select NEW > DWORD (32 bit) Value
- Type PreferExternalManifest, and then press ENTER.
- Right-click PreferExternalManifest, and then click Modify.
- Enter Value Data 1 and select Decimal.
- Click OK, then exit the Registry Editor.
Step 2: Create and place the external manifest files
Copy your manifest file to all the application folders on which you would like to change the scaling.
Example: Photoshop.exe is located at: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit). In text editor, create a manifest file named photoshop.exe.manifest & save it here. The text to enter into the manifest file is located here: manifest.txt
For Windows to use the external manifest file, change the name of the file to the executable of the application.
Here are the files I created for my machine (Right-click and save to use on your machine):
Place these manifest files in the directory of the executable file. The executable files, relating to the above manifest files, are in locations like C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe or C:\Program Files\Adobe.
Yes, this is a more advanced fix... however it's the only one I found when I did an extensive search.
Making edits to the registry can have large consequences if something is done incorrectly. For this reason, I recommend that if you do not feel comfortable making a change to the registry, you backup the registry &/or create a restore point before you make any changes: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/322756/how-to-back-up-and-restore-the-registry-in-windows
The "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > SideBySide" is in your Registry Editor. (A new picture is below).
Your version of windows may have the value in a different location. If so, you can try doing a search in the Registry Editor:
- Under "Computer", click "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE";
- In the top menu, click "Edit", then click "Find";
- Type in, "LastSuccessfullScavenge" (this is one of the other values in the location that we want to find);
- Under the "Look at" check-boxes, check the "Values" option;
- Click "Find Next" (the search may take a few minutes)
- Verify that you are in the "SideBySide" key. If so, this is most likely the location in which you can add the new registry value. (step 1.3 in the instructions I posted).
