I'm using a high resolution monitor(2560x1600). As a result, all the the toolbar fonts and menu fonts are small and hard to see. I do not want to lower the screen resolution as this would defeat the purpose of this monitor.. Will the new CS6 have the ability to increase font sizes to accommidate Hi-Res monitors?

Thanks

Severe? Depends from who ́s perspective you see the problem.

By profiting from that adobe special system called subscription (with monthly payment) every month the company has a fix base of income.
So this company has subscriptors that are bound for one year maybe.
How is the company now able to save money and rise their profit.
Right :-)

They are able to find new subscriptors by having new versions (2014??).

And they are able to save money on the other side by having less software development people in the sector of software correction. Because if subscriptors have a problem of not correct running software, it ́s easier to let them wait. Anyway subscriptor will pay, because they need that software.

The final conclusion is that you can argue here, but you can ́t change anythink, because this big organisation has much more power than all users togehter.

Support for scalable UI for high resolutions monitors has been implemented for Macintosh (Retina Display support in Photoshop CS v13.x) and Windows 7 and Windows 8 (Photoshop CC v2014).

Hi Eric, see the official answer. We've added a feature for 2X support in the 2014 release of Photoshop CC.

You have got to be kidding, Adobe moderator.

Your stock response is REDACTION!

Or pass your monkey on to Microsoft.

The redacted comments were described by the moderator as "conspiracy theories." The censored comments were probably about Adobe hurting us deliberately, to herd us toward their more expensive cloud product (which either does or very soon will have a bigger UI.)

That's right, they made their own product unusable on purpose. It's a corporate psychosis that arises from greed and arrogance. Microsoft is famous for it, it ALWAYS backfires, and infected corporations never, ever learn.

I suspect lots of you will do what I already did: abandon Photoshop and use the dirt cheap, damn-good Photoshop clone which I will not name here out of respect for adobe, who runs this forum. It's rude to post the names of competing products on a vendor's website.

I'm not so sure. There are a heck of a lot of comments being redacted in this thread leaving the impression the problem isn't all that severe.

Dave,
Suspect escalation would be a waste of effort here. Typically management attitude at the top rolls down to the bottom. Regards WHG

Approaching 4 years, and still waiting. I think maybe someone should draft a letter to Adobe's CEO. He most likely won't ever see the letter, but some of his direct reports will. that just might get the problem the attention it deserves.

Hi Eric,

to be honest, there is no way to get through to a person who is in a responsible position. Adobe has lots of call center persons that will give you answers that really won ́t help you in the case of the solving this problem.
The thing is that adobe is such a big company that you never ever come through to the right people.
You know big companies are like dinosaurs. They are big, they are slow and they are unflexible. Seems to match nicely to Adobe.

And finally what happend: Dinsaurs died out.

I am using CS 6 on a Lenovo Yoga Pro 3200x1800 resolution. Only Adobe has microscopic menus and icons. Beyond unbelievable to me, as these programs are designed for professionals who will most likely be using high resolution monitors. How is it possible that they could be so indifferent to the basic needs of their core market? How to get through to somebody who can answer that?
