Thank you Adobe! Preferences: Experimental Scale UI 200%

Picturequest Jun 20, 2014 7:11 PM

My big user complaint with all the Adobe products is the dark gray interface and tiny tool icons are very hard to see. I've wished that an option would be made to help our aging eyes. Now under experimental, I clicked scale UI to 200%.

On restart my menus pallets and most importantly TOOLs are larger and very easy to see. I have a regular 1080p monitor. So, I'm not the target for this feature, but if you ever have trouble with those tiny tools, now they can be twice the size. Actually I'd prefer maybe 150%. Perhaps Adobe can let usa use a slider to scale the UI.

But thanks!!!

Woah!!! Steady on with that positive attitude. You'll be getting harassed by the Adobe-does-the-work-of-the-devil evil sect pretty darn soon methinks! Best join our Adobe fan-boy club and hope for a bit of safety in numbers.

You can also change the dark gray interface in the preferences.

I don't mind the dark gray. Just it was harder on eyes to see light gray on dark gray at those tiny tool sizes. Not a problem now.

I'd LIKE to use this, but despite NUMEROUS updates and downloads I still cannot get that option!

HELP!

Did you install Photoshop CC 2014? Specifically,

Assuming yes, did you RUN that particular version?

It's a separate install and a separate application from Photoshop CC.

Yes, I did, but it was still opening the old version.

Deleted that and opened 2014 and got it to switch over to UI 200% -

NOW I have a brand new problem - I can't switch it back because the 'OK' button is pushed off the screen!

Any help?

(And thanks for responding!)

Open the preferences, uncheck the 200%, press Tab three times, then press enter.
