1. Re: How do I enlarge tiny menus and tools (CS5, Win 8.1)
Trevor.Dennis Jan 4, 2014 1:45 PM (in response to gbrynes)I think you might be the first person to upload an actual screen grab of the problem, and I have to say, that is impressively small. What is the computer, and what size is it?

gbrynes Jan 5, 2014 2:17 PM (in response to Herbert2001)Thank you so much for referring me to the thread (full of similarly angry/frustrated Photoshoppers) and work-around. I can see that I have two options at present: one involves degrading my monitor resolution (two methods presented: control panel vs. regedit.exe) or to use the Windows magnifier tool.
Again, thanks for your help!

dendangerously Sep 15, 2014 9:47 AM (in response to gbrynes)This has now been solved by Adobe... Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Experimental Features...
Check "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays (Windows only)" and it will fix the UI beautifully!
