High DPI Plans?

I just bought a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro which has a sexy 3200x1800 13.3 inch screen. I loaded up AE, because obviously that's the first thing you use to test a new computer out, to be greeted with the most microscopic interface I've ever seen. As much as i like playing find-the-parameter with 2-point font, it brings up a big question for me: Does Adobe have any plans to add support for high-DPI screens on PC anytime soon? I can run at a lower resolution for now, but I know I'm not the only one wondering this, and I haven't been able to find anything about it, so I thought I'd ask.

The current target for HiDPI viewers on Windows is sometime next year (probably the second half of next year). That's a rough estimate, though. We just added this functionality for Mac OS in After Effects CC (12.1).

  • How do I turn off high DPI scaling in AE CC 2014?

    I just downloaded the latest AE update and noticed that all of the screen elements are huge! As a MAX attendee, I understand that this is the high DPI scaling built in for the new high resolution screens. My laptop monitor is fairly high resolution, but the scaled up display looks ridiculous on it. I would love to go back to a 72 DPI display, but do not see an option for that, unlike Photoshop. Is it possible to go back to a non-scaled display?
    -Eric

    Thanks. Changing the scale to 100% worked, but it made everything else small. Guess that will take some time to get used to.
    Any plan to give the user the option to turn on and off the high DPI scaling with PP and AE? Similar to what is being done in PS? That would be my preference.

  • High DPI External Display not Working on OS X

    I am developing a new monitor using high DPI laptop displays and it seems to work on every OS except OS X. And it even works on apple hardware running linux.
    I get no signal at all when using it with either 10.8.5 or 10.9 using a rMBP 13" (Ivy Bridge). However, in both instances, it does detect something is plugged in, as the laptop display turns blue for a second. Also, on 10.9, it actually logs me out of my session. But I have the feeling this is just a bug in the new OS.
    After plugging it in, there are no options for the display under the "displays" pref pane or with any other display-related programs such as SwichResX. However, using ioreg, I see that it is detecting the panel and it does report the correct edid.
    I tried both thunderbolt ports and had the same problem. I think it's an OS issue and not a hardware issue since one of my project partners tried on a different model mac, and couldn't get it to work with OS X but it worked when he booted to windows. I also got it working with Ubuntu installed on my laptop
    Below are some console logs from when I connected and disconnected the panel. Clearly something funny is going on since it seems to detect the screen at 1x1 and "Fatal error remapping framebuffer" sounds pretty bad...
    I tried to do something like what's mentioned here, but to no avail:

  • DataMerge output to PDF then high dpi conversion to TIFF

    I am new to InDesign and have successfully created an output through InDesigns DataMerge feature which converts the final output to PDF.
    Is there anyway to change this to TIFF with high DPI (4000) or a process to convert the PDF to TIFF with similar output. The PDF file only contains text.
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Export to PDF and then batch convert them in Photoshop. Very easy to do with a Photoshop action and Bridge.

  • How to perform high-level planning without doing full costctr-level rollup

    I am wondering what my options are for this effort - we want to start our 2009 budget season by first preparing a high-level 2009 plan. To do the high-level plan we'd like to avoid building and interfacing workbooks at the cost center level; instead, to get started, we want to look at groups of cost centers that represent the different lines of business of the Bank (retail, credit, etc).
    Here's my question:is it possible to build planning workbooks not at the cost center level, but at a cost center rollup level? That is, we'd like to avoid having 10 workbooks at the cost center level that make up the rollup "Mortgage Lending"; instead we want one workbook for Mortgage lending that includes data for all 10 of those CC's.
    Please let me know if you have any ideas as to how to do so, thanks, W

  • Embedded objects do not scale on high-dpi displays

    I am using a new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop with a 3200 x 1800 display. Though in general the high-DPI scaling works to keep text sharp for most webpages (something that cannot be said for Chrome or Opera), Flash does not scale with the rest of the website. For example, when I watch a Youtube video, the text, objects, etc. scale appropriately, but the buttons for the flash player are very small.
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30375975/youtube_screenshot_problem.png

    Does this occur with all flash content?
    Please consider contacting the Adobe support team about this issue.<br>
    I think that maybe Flash Player is not compatible with this high screen resolution.

  • HOW DO I SAVE AN IMAGE AT A HIGHER DPI

    HOW DO YOU SAVE AN IMAGE AT A HIGHER DPI?

    Set up your own export preset. But note two things: You cannot export more pixels than in the original, and dpi is meaningless - you can take any image and print it at any size you like. If someone is requesting a particular dpi in the file, that person is clueless.

  • Right side menu too small font size of letters in Windows 8.1 High DPI screen

    Hi, I just own a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and high resolution screen.
    When I start Adobe Reader, the document area seems to be readable, with "normal size fonts", but the options menú in the right side uses a very small fonts size and is hardly readable.
    I tried to change it using the Windows "change menu, title, icons size, but withpout success.
    Any solution for it?
    By the way, in a Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch, there is not "magnyfying glass" combination key and the zoom function of the touch screen doesn't work either in that right side menu área (it works in the document area, not in the right side menu area).
    Any help will be welcomed.
    Thanks.

    Hi, Pat, test done.
    Thanks for your suggestion, it was somehow helpful, or, let say, half and half.
    It was helpful in the way that when I opened the preferences Windows I was not able to see the full window, there was a part of the right side of the window that was out of the screen. So, when I changed the "scaling settings options and behaviour" from "Auto" (default value) to 100% everything was in the display.... So, this was of high help.
    BUT I was not able to find any way in all the suggested document for making the fonts used in the right window of the Adobe Reader, the one where the "Tools" and "Comments" menus are displayed more readable, bigger size, than the one that the product uses by default in the High DPI display.
    So, thanks for the suggested document that helped to solve the first point.
    BUT
    Any other idea that could help for changing the fonts used in the "Tools" or "Comments" menu window?
    Thanks and kind regards.

  • Windows not scaling dpiAware programs correctly on high DPI screens

    I just upgraded to a new notebook with a high dpi screen (3200x1800)..
    In the standard desktop (not modern), several programs do not display correctly- specifically Adobe programs, Sony Vegas, Sorenson Squeeze, etc..
    The type and fonts for the menus etc are scaled properly, but the UI icons are extremely tiny.
    See here.. The red boxed areas are what size the icons SHOULD be:
    http://tinypic.com/r/nb82l5/8
    If I edit the manifest for each .exe and change
    dpiAware to FALSE, everything scales fine but is blurry (sections inside red box from link above)
    If dpiAware is already true in the program, why isn't windows scaling the program interface icons correctly?

    Hi,
    Please check and uncheck the following option to see the result.
    Also,please use a external display device to test it.

    Now i need to understand the reasons why optimizer gave high production plan in last run ?
    Regards

    1. system in not preplanning to cover future demand.
    check storage cost and penalty cost , i think storage cost is more then penalty cost.
    2. there is one resource used by three different products for one product optimizer is doing excess planning while it is showing supply shortage for other products.
    if you run all three one by one it plan only first product on that particular resource, if you run all three same time system will plan according to the cost optimisation logic, that means it checks all cost and calculate which product needs to be manufacture on that resource and how much.
    you can check the log of snp optimisation run in

  • High dpi support

    I'm wondering if and when FormsCentral will support high dpi devices. I have a 3200x1800 resolution on a 15" screen so everything on FormsCentral is really small and with it being flash based I cannot zoom in.

    You could use MPD and either a terminal client, Qt5 client (Cantata), or a web client.
    I just looked at the Arch Linux wiki page for HiDPI. The state of HiDPI in Linux is kind of a mess, isn't it.

  • TS3543 High DPI for Windows iTunes

    So, let's say you prefer Windows for your own reasons, and you have a modern monitor with a high pixel count. So, you turn up the DPI to make things easier to read. And then you launch iTunes, because you're, despite preferring Windows on the desktop, happen to prefer iPhones and iPads.
    The whole program is blurry unless you disable high DPI for that program, and even then the text becomes too large for the area it's bound to. The solution?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3543
    You literally have to degrade the experience for the rest of the operating system in order to stop this bug from happening.
    This is not a solution. This is Apple Developers saying "turn off that new innovative feature, you don't need it". How un-apple is that?  There are no DPI-related problems in any of the OS X versions of iTunes and I can't imagine it would take a ton of effort to add in like native Windows programs have, especially when you consider the bottomless revenue Apple generates from the Windows iTunes community.
    So I guess I'd like to submit a bug you could file under "developer attitude/mindset". I'm not sure that the behavior on this stance accurately represents Apple philosophy.

  • Firefox ignores Windows 8's compatability setting for high dpi screens.

    I recently tried the Windows 8.1 Preview, but then reset my machine to Windows 8 again.
    Before this, the first time I installed Firefox, it ran at a low resolution, so all the toolbars and content appeared huge and blurry. I fixed this with the Windows 8 compatibility setting disable display scaling on high DPI settings"
    After resetting the machine, and installing Firefox again, it was back to being blurry, so I changed the compatibility setting again, but this time, nothing happened. Even with the setting on, Firefox ignores it. Every other program with this setting works fine, and Firefox worked fine the last time around.
    I was advised in the Windows support forums to ask the question here.

    You can modify the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.
    *The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
    *Change the default value -1 to 1 to make it work like in previous Firefox versions (100%)
    Start with a value of 1 and adjust this value with 0.1 steps or 0.05 for finer adjustments.
    *Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size (do NOT go all the way to 0.05!)
    *Use values greater than 1.0 to magnify and make elements larger (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    If web pages needs to be adjusted after changing this pref then you can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint extension.
    *Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    *NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:
