On my monitor (2560 x 1600) the menu on CC 2014 is too small - so tiny I can hardly read it. Selecting Expereimental 2nd option makes the whole programme far too big. Either so small I can't see it unless I sit very close to the monitor or so big it is unusable.
No problems with PS CC, only PS CC 2014. Having to unistall CC 2014 and go back to CC. Support offer NO solution

    I tried the method Willie Davis suggested, and it worked very well. My monitor is a Samsung 28" 4K, at 60 Hz refresh rate.

    any program that you can see due to a programming flaw is useless. looks like I'll be dropping my subscription also unless adobe wakes up..

    For anyone else interested here's a few choices.

    That didn't work on Windows 8.1 for me.. The menu size doesn't change size at all. Even after I reboot.

    Are you hiding this 'correct version' of Photoshop. so that when we hit 'download' we get some other version? Otherwise, if what you say above should work, which it clearly doesn't. We aren't mad because you made an error, we are upset that you won't acknowledge you have a problem. Until you recognize the problem is real, you can't fix it. The version you provide as the current download doesn't work. However, I've gone back to Window 7 and an earlier version of Photoshop and that DOES work on my giant monitor. I would update the version, to see if your new software works in Window 7, but I'm afraid then I'd be back to tiny menus again. So I'm staying with what I have. But clearly the problem is in your updated software, or an compatibility of code with Microsoft 8.1. However, I can say an older version of your software and Window 7 DOES work. This does however prove to me YOU REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM AND IT'S NOT RAMPANT STUPIDITY OF USERS.

    Yes, i did both, but it doesn't work. I've moved back to Windows 7 version on another pc so I can enjoy my larger monitor with readable menus. But seriously, is there any hope you'll have this fixed for Windows 10?

    Make sure you are running the latest version of Photoshop CC 2014 (15.2.2). So far all the reported failures were not running the correct version - and we have yet to see it fail to work in the correct version of Photoshop.
