DPI Scaling in Windows 7 and how it affects Adobe apps (Retina 15" MBP)

Hi guys,
I have a simple question I cannot find the answer for, I want to know if the DPI settings in windows ( http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller) that scale text and icons only scale the UI elements in Adobe programs. For example if my Retina MBP on Windows 7 is set to 150% DPI and all the text and Icons appear bigger is that the ONLY thing affected? Does an app like Photoshop or Illustrator still allow me to work with the full 2880x1800 canvas size, only the UI elements get scaled?
I do not want to set the DPI to 150% and not be able to use the whole working space of the monitor, the whole reason I bought the Retina MBP was to do large poster designs and view them at 100%. Since Apple only allows 1900x1200 with 2x sampling for the Retina display, it's essentially useless as I don't need more detail when I zoom in, I want more working space overall at a 1:1 ratio.
tl;dr: What does the DPI scaling setting in Windows actually scale?

Thats not true, absolutely not. You are right to ask here in the forum, but there is no solution for HiDPI scaling for photoshop. Please see the link below. Adobe is doing it´s best to get a solution. But this will take tiiiiiiime.
See this link and see how helpless adobe is with their software. Its a shame:

    You can't. The iOS SDK requires Mac OS X and an Intel Mac; Windows applications can't be put on either the iOS or Mac OS X App Stores.

  • What is a finder window in cs6 windows 7 and how can i access it

    what is a finder window in cs6 for windows 7 and how can I access it?

    Hi there,
    Can you give us a little more context so we can better help you?
    For example, where did you see this term mentioned? It confuses me because the Mac OS has a "Finder window", but I think you're saying that your operating system is Windows 7. And in Windows, the File Explorer is the equivalent of the Mac Finder.
    Am I correct in thinking that you're using Photoshop CS6?

    Just bought a mac desktop and how do sync my apps to it from iPad?

    You connect the iPad to the computer and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes to put them on the Mac's internal drive. They can't actually be run on a Mac.

  • ?I can't download digital editions. I have Windows 7 and am registered with Adobe.

    ?I can't download adobe digital editions. I have Windows 7 and am registered with Adobe. My browser is Internet explorer 8

    Win 7 has given many people some 'issues'.  There are postings to the forum
    that point out you have to set your security so that it will allow
    downloads from certain sites, and I seem to recall that these settings need
    to recognize Adobe as a source and allow it through the firewall.  Wish I
    had the exact post, but I do not.  But I'd bet a search on Windows 7 will
    pull up some more information.

  • Dose the serial number need to be changed and how when selling Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

    Dose the serial number need to be changed and how when selling Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

    No, the serial number goes with the product. You should deactivate all your installed copies before selling it. Also, if you've used it qualify for upgrade pricing on a later version you can't sell it. Well, you could but the new owner won't be able to install it.
    Adobe does have a license transfer document, but not many people bother with it:

  • How to fix Adobe App Manager error code -60 Download appears corrupt but only for Photoshop CS6 app

    How to fix Adobe App Manager error code -60 Download appears corrupt but only for Photoshop CS6 Creative Suite Cloud App. Many attempts were made to install Photoshop CS6 with Adobe Application Manager without success. Every other Creative Suite Application was successfully downloaded. I keep getting Installation Failed when attempting the Photoshop install. How does one correct this?

    Thanks Jeff! So, it totally appears as if it was a network issue. The corporate network where I work is quite likely the culprit. Where I was thrown off is that since I have admin rights on my computer, I can install software. But using Adobe Application Manager to install Adobe software wasn't working. And to make matters worse, there didn't appear to be any way to install Acrobat Pro for Mac without using AAM. The workaround that I used previously was to install the trial versions of Adobe software, and then just register them using my username and password. But the workaround for being able to install everything using AAM was to bring my computer home and download from my home network.

  • I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress."  where did this window go, and how do I get it back?

    Hi; I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress" window--the window that tells me each thing that is syncing, etc.  Where did it go, and how do I get it back?  Thanks if you can help--I was on the phone with Apple for 7 minutes on hold and then they just cut me off.  (Nice).

    Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
    With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:

  • Window resizing and how to keep the window at that size.

    Having trouble with the applications window not staying the same size after I resize it. I know that dragging the corner will resize as well as the green button, but after I close it, it reverts back the small window and not to the resized window after I have done the above. Went to an apple store and no one there knew how to fix it or maybe I didn't explain myself very well.

    I assume you're opening the Applications folder in a separate window through an alias or a Dock icon... if so, just open it, move and resize it the way you want, then immediately close it again. That should do the trick.

  • SCCM 2012 Software Update Management for Windows Servers and how to automatic set SCOM maintenance mode?

    Hi,
    We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
    Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
    can read reg value as exempel.
    IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
    I found this
    http://www.scom2k7.com/scom-2012-maintenance-mode-scheduler/?
    /SaiTech

    You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

Is there a web browser download that is even compatible? It is just a second computer for my grandsons to use and do homework on, but I am unable to get up the internet.

    Hello all,
    I know this is an old thread but i have to give it a try ( i am stuck with an almost identical problem but cant solve it since 5 days googling and reading.
    I am developing an app for Unitech HT660e which has Win CE. THe app is complete but now i need some more control over the barcode scanner. In order to gain controll i need to use USI.dll which is explained in this documentation (chapter 2 has the link to
    the SDK which contains the USI.dll ) :
    http://www.datacol.co.nz/pdf/uni_prog-guide_1.21.pdf
    But i also get : Cant find PInvoke DLL 'USI.dll'.
    In chapter 4 is SysIOAPI.DLL mentioned which i cant fin.
    Chapter 17 has USICF.dll which may be interesting bcos this one can be added as reference and "using USICF" . I am using compact framework 3.5 for this and the emulator is "usa windows mobile 5.0 pocket pc r2 emulator". 
    Reading your post i noticed i can use the "Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator" but it gives me the same error.
    Maybe i need to include a path in my code but i tried this as well...and get the same problem. Maybe i am missing something.
    Here is my code:
    using USICF;
    using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
    namespace SmartDeviceProjectzaDLLtesting
        public partial class Form1 : Form
            [DllImport("USI.dll", EntryPoint = "VibrationOn")]   //ignorethis?:,CallingConvention=CallingConvention.Winapi)]//Cdecl)]    //EntryPoint = "VibrationOn")]
            public static extern void VibrationOn(bool bEnable);
            public Form1()
                InitializeComponent();
            private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
               // USICF.USIClass usiba = new USICF.USIClass(this); // this gives an exception as well
               VibrationOn(true); // thiis causes the exception
     //           VibrationOn(false);
