Just bought a new high screen resolution laptop which has a fantastic sharp screen......however, when I installed my copy of Elements 12 the text, tools and everything is TINY!!!! Everything else so far is fine, but what can I do to get the text etc readable? I have tried changing the resolution but it doesn't make any difference. Has anyone else upgraded to a high screen resolution and experienced the same? If so is there anything I can do?

Scaling the user interface (UI)  is not available in Elements 12, but is available if you upgrade to Elements 14. See:

Thanks for the reply........should have guessed it would entail spending money on an enhancement!!!!

is there any worthwhile difference between 14 and 12? other than UI scaling?

Cheers
