Question

The UI Font Sizes Aren't Increasing

Hello,

I just installed the latest version of Photoshop, and other Adobe apps, on my Win11 PC (everything is up to date). Because I use 4k monitors, as many others do, I need to make the UI font sizes larger so I can actually see them. New glasses would be good, but that's a whole other discussion. I've tried the medium and large settings, but these apparently do nothing. I also tried this when checking the "Scale UI To Font" option, but that doesn't seem to do anything either. I do not want to set the UI in Windows itself to a higher percent, as that defeats the purpose of large monitors. 

The weird thing is this works absolutely great in Adobe Bridge; is there some similiar functionality in Photoshop as well? And if not, why the heck not? Why is this available in one app but not another?

 

Anyway, I'd greatly appreciate a definitive answer to this. Thanks much.

Hi @loki999, Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're facing with your Photoshop application.

 

Please share if you rebooted your system after making the changes to the UI Font Size and then launched the application.

 

Please use an @ before mentioning my username so that I may be notified as soon as possible, and you can get the help you deserve.

Thanks a bunch!

Hello,

I did reboot my PC since I changed the font size in the preferences section (this time I tried large fonts). Nothing has appeared to have changed.

Hi @loki999

 

Sorry for the delayed response! I hope the issue has been resolved by now. If not, I’d recommend trying a preference reset and then adjusting the UI Font Size setting again.

 

Here’s how you can do that (assuming you're on Windows):

  • Close Photoshop.
  • Navigate to the following folder:
    Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [version]\Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings
  • Rename this folder to:
    Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings.old
  • Restart Photoshop.
  • Go to Preferences > Interface and set UI Font Size to Large.
  • Restart Photoshop once more to apply the changes.

 

Let me know if this helps or if the issue persists. I'd be happy to assist further!

 

 

Regards,

Srishti
