Hi Everyone!

I just purchased the Photoshop Elements 2025 and the font is very small for the interface. I've searched videos and they have greate tips for Photoshop but not elementts. I don't have a Interface option under the Preference menu.

If anyone can let me know how to increase the font and interface size. I would greatly appreciate it.

I did this from,(Greg_S post) and worked for me on Windows 11 Pro. I edited; 7. Change the options for High DPI scaling override. And then in the target box below, I chose "System". OK - Apply - OK

After you check the box, (Change the options for High DPI scaling override) you must change the target folder below from "Application" to S\"System"

Go to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2025\ folder
Right-click on the file named PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and select Properties from the context menu
A new dialog will open
Select the Compatibility tab
Click the Change High DPI settings button - a new dialog will open
Change the options for Program DPI,
OR

7. Change the options for High DPI scaling override.

A couple of other users have contacted Adobe Support for successful help with this issue. You might want to give that a try.

The settings in my screenshot are not necessarily what will work for you. You should try each of the settings to see if it makes any difference.

The other thing you can try is go to the Windows>Settings>System>Display dialog. Make sure your screen is set to the recommended display resolution. Then increase the UI Scale . I have included a screenshot below.

Thank you! I found where to change the settings but do not understand why Adobe made the option available to increase the menu if the option that works best cuts off half of the menu.

The option is located under Edit >Preferences > Display & Cursors then under high density displays you can change the UI scale from Automatic up to 200% (200% will cut off some of the most important parts of the menu with no option to scroll down to see the rest of the menu). So this sucks and I literally just wasted money upgrading to 2025 due to to the software not being handicap accessible.

Thank you again for the other options. I've already tried those prior to coming to the forum. You have been great to communicate with. I appreciate you taking the time out of your Saturday to help!

When you view and reply to a post in email, you cannot see my screenshot and I cannot see yours.

The Photoshop Elements 2025 folder does not have a normal yellow Windows style folder icon. It is a blue folder icon as shown in my screenshot below. If you are using a Mac, I cannot help you.

Got it! My message after the image did not show up in this thread and I did figure out that there isn't a yellow folder associated with the folder.

The last question I sent via email is pasted below and I'm attaching an image of how small the text and menu are at the moment:

I just got a new laptop and it's starting to be a bit overwhelming to learn. I did find the folder and followed the steps you provided. Once I get to the override section. Do I choose the Application section or the System?

Thank you in advance for your help.

What is the size of your monitor in pixels?

Try the following:

Go to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2025\ folder
Right-click on the file named PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and select Properties from the context menu
A new dialog will open
Select the Compatibility tab
Click the Change High DPI settings button - a new dialog will open
Change the options for Program DPI,

OR

7. Change the options for High DPI scaling override.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have a Photoshop Elements 2025 folder.
It only shows the Photoshop organizer folder
