Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 [How to increase size of UI fonts?]

I transferred my license for Photoshop Elements 12 to a new computer (yes, I disconnected the license from the old computer).

Everything seems to go well and the shortcut showed up on my desktop. When I clicked on the shortcut, photoshop comes up, but the font on the menu bar (across the top) is so small, it can't be read.

This program has worked well for me. This program is the only one that I have installed on the new computer that isn't showing up properly.

Thanks, K

Moved from Photoshop forum.

Which version of Windows are you using on your new computer? What is your screen resolution?

The short answer to your question is that there is no way of adjusting the font size inside Elements. You'll have to change the display resolution in the Windows operating system when using Elements.

I would try to change the default system fonts in windows under personalize screen menus. It may work, as it did on some small Windows OS tablets. It always works on desktop menus, and most of the time on software menus (if they use system fonts)

WHen I go to lower resolution to help Photoshop's problems, it screws up my other applications! It also reduces the width of the screen used on my laptop so the actual screen is smaller than the available display size! Ridiculous!

It's certainly ridiculous to expect Elements 12 to work nicely on a high resolution monitor that didn't exist when it was made.
