Photoshop menu text too small on large monitor

[jimbo45]

Hi there
I love using Adobe photo shop (CS6 extended) but a major irritant is that the Adobe menu text always seems too small. (The Photoshop menus - not Windows). Has anyone any idea how to make the text size bigger.

Here's a sample of what I mean - the second image shows the text in the drop down fine -- deliberately made bigger to explain what I mean - but the Photoshop titles are tiny and hard to read -- and the 3rd image is what you see when using Bridge -- The image browser built into photo shop -- the text is TINY.

Cheers
jimbo

I found these suggestions :

To change the font size for Photoshop's user interface, simply go up to the Photoshop menu at the top of the screen (Edit menu in Windows), choose Preferences, and then choose General. You'll see an option near the top of the Preferences dialog box called UI Font Size. Simply select a different size from the menu.

You'll need to close out of Photoshop and restart it for the change to take effect.

***********************************************************

In CS6, "Font Preview Size" is now located under the "Type" menu item, not under "Type" in the CS6 Preferences.

I hope they are what you need.

I found this in another Share, I don't have his name unfortunately......but here's the GREAT FIX Advice.!!


Changing the font settings in Interface settings didn't work for me. Here's the solution that worked for me.

Navigate to where the actual application file (.exe) is, right-click it and select properties, choose the compatibility tab and select "Change high dpi settings" under the settings section, in the next window, select the checkbox that says "High DPI scaling override", and choose "System" from the drop-down. Hit ok to save the changes, and then re-open Photoshop.

I saw this answer on another website. I applied these changes to the shortcut for Photoshop that I have on my Desktop, I selected "System (Enhanced)" from the drop-down menu and it worked perfectly. Now I do not need to squint or use the magnifier or memorize location for using a menu or a tool
