Photoshop window does not fit on my laptop screen. How do I resize to the smaller screen?

[Noel Carboni]

What is your screen resolution?  Does it meet the Photoshop minimum screen size requirements?

Adobe Photoshop CC for Mac, Windows, PC - Tech specs

Noel,

Screen resolution is 1680 x 1050. I was last working in photoshop on my

second monitor and for some reason it died on me (another issue). So when I

open photoshop on my laptop it is sized to fit my larger monitor.

Thanks,

Debra

Can you reach the Workspaces selector at the upper-right?

Can you get to the Window menu?  You could try resetting the Essentials workspace via the Window - Workspace menu.

Noel,

I reset the workspace to essential, doesn't resize the window.

[Noel Carboni]

Does your system still think the larger monitor is present?  Maybe you you need a reboot?

-Noel

I have rebooted, several times. I went into system preferences - displays

to make sure that it is no longer recognized.

If you have a Mac, just toggle the green button in the upper-left hand corner.

Windows: see this article How to Use the Keyboard to Move or Resize a Window that is Too Big for the Screen

I tried that - still too big.

Mac or PC?

Photoshop Window Menu > uncheck then recheck Application Frame.

Thanks! That worked.

Remember that one.

how do you fix the issue for it being to big on a pc screen? it doesnt even show me some of the menus that you cant resize  its so big

[Barb Binder]

What is your screen resolution? Two common fixes are to increase the screen resolution in the Window's Control Panel and to decrease the UI Scaling in Edit > Preferences > Interface in Photoshop.

Note that Photoshop requires a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768 (1280 x 800 recommended).

Thank you so, so very much! You just solved a problem that had been creating challenges for me! I am so grateful to you!

This has not been answered for me. Here is what worked for me in Photoshop CC

Edit---menus--application menu---click on fit on screen and --fit artboard on screen

[TopgunB]

Missed out a step  Edit Menus--application menu--scroll down to view--expand it the fit on screen etc

This works on windows 10 maybe on Mac too: Change resolution in the OS and change it back. Resizes the PSCC window to fit the desktop resolution.

this has been bugging me for years and never knew a simple solution. Thank you!

[dklecan]

thanks so much for the answer "check-off the  Windows > Application Frame"  

Was camping near White Sands. Had tons of great fotos that I, luckily, worked on in Bridge/Raw.  Could not fix the problem 'cause no internet. Had to wait to get home to work on them on my big screen. 

This is a typical major problem with a tiny solution.
