How do I make the marching ants bigger so I can see them?

Hi.
I just "upgraded" to Photoshop CC and a new macbook pro on Yosemite.
I have been using photoshop since the 90's and this is the first time Im having serious problems with it.
The "marching ants" are impossible to see when using the magic wand to select.
Im sure there are better ways to select these days- but I have a method to my madness and need to be able to see what Im doing.
And yes my glasses prescription is up to date.
It feels like its a function of black and white imagery and this new screen which though "better" doesn't feel "better"- in fact it makes many things harder to see...
Any advice would be very very much appreciated.
Thank-you

2880 must make your UI look very small. I have a display that supports much higher res but to work comfortably, I drop my screen res back so I can see what I'm doing in PS and other Adobe apps.

How do I make the mouse pointer bigger?

How do you go about making the mouse pointer bigger on the IMAC?

I think it is much easier for learners, but can I suggest these forums are excellent for general help. However, do find a moment to fill in your machine details in your profile; model identifier, current OS version and RAM figure. It's a great help to those helping you to know what machine they are needing to think about.

How do I make the days NUMBER BIGGER?

I have been using Palm for the past 10 years. For those ten years every week I print out the month (on a sheet of paper) and I put it on my wall next to my computer. This way I can always take a quick look at my month.
Last month I switched to iCal. I'm having two issues with iCal. #1 the months are printed in landscape mode (Palm would print in portrait). And #2 is driving me crazy, and that is that the DATE numbers are very small.
Is there a way I can make the FONT of the DATE numbers BIGGER?
The font for the DAYS print out at 10 point size. I wish it would be at least 16 or even 24 pts.
I see an option for making the "event" fonts bigger, but the day's numbers are still tiny.
: (

I can't believe these is no option to make the type bigger!!

How do I make the toolbar buttons bigger

The toolbar customization allows me to make the toolbar buttons smaller, but it doesn't allow me to make them any larger; I have a large screen and poor vision and have trouble seeing the small buttons and tiny fonts since the firefox 4 upgrade.

The easiest way to do this is with screen zoom.
In System Preferences, choose Universal Access. Make sure Zoom is set to “On,” then click “Options….” At the bottom of the sheet that slides down, make sure “Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom” is checked, then click the text input box to the right and press the Control key on your keyboard. You should see a ^ in the box. Click Done.
Then when you want to interact with smaller elements on the screen, hold down the Control key and scroll up using the wheel or ball on your mouse, slide one finger up on your Magic Mouse, or slide two fingers up on your trackpad. The screen will zoom in towards your pointer, and it will be much easier to target small items when zoomed in.
Hold Control and scroll down to zoom back out.
Hope that helps!

How do i make the screen full size so I can preview whole page?, How do i make the screen full size so I can preview whole page?

How do I adjust the screen to show the full page and the whole page?

One way to accomplish this is to use the zoom feature.
Use the Text Size buttons in the Toolbar.
If you click smaller A button, the contents of the window will zoom out and more of the contents
will be visible. But fonts will become smaller.
To revert back, click the larger A button.
Best.

I want to print or export (PDF) a design with a indication of the used pantone colors without the separations so that our customer can see them (not CMYK)

Before i used CS illustrator i was able to indicate the used pantone colors on a print or PDF with coreldraw.
Can anyone tell me how to make such a print with CS6.
My clients have to see the used Pantone colors in the design (not CMYK)

Add your spot colors to your swatches panel (Window> Swatch Library> Color Books> Pantone+ Solid Coated>)
In the fly-out menu on the swatches panel, select all unused swatches and delete. Also delete any unused swatch groups.
File> Document set-up> make the bleed .5".
Use the type tool to indicate the spot colors on the outside edge of the bleed area, make the type color match the indicated spot color.
Save as PDF. This PDF printed with bleed will show the spot colors. Alternately, you could select "add crop marks and color bar" in the print settings, which should also indicate the spot colors.
In InDesign you can add a Slug area to your page, where the spot colors would typically be added.

How do I make the window controls bigger

the red green and blue buttons in the top left of a window. Is there any way to make them bigger like in 10.6. They're too small. Thanks?

More like the colors have changed to conform to their idiotic monochromatic push and dulling everything in sight, but I think the sizes are the same. Maybe, doesn't look good on the iOS devices they're testing it with. If it doesn't meet your needs or expectations, file a bug report with Apple for loss of functionality.

I'm brand new to Macs and Air. How do you make the onscreen text bigger overall. The print is super small?

I am going blind trying to see the tiny text on this laptop. I'm sure there is a way to make it bigger overall. Also need bigger text (to see as I type) on e-mails? What do I do?

Overall ?
Try a different resolution
Open System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
For Mail. With Mail open, from the menu bar, click Mail > Preferences then select Fonts & Colors tab.
Click Select to change the font and font size.

Saving as a PDF -How do you make the PDF not bigger than the original file?

I am running Mac OS X Panther.
I understand that Mac OS X creates a "Digital Master" PDF file, which is larger than a typical PDF file because the resolution of images in the file is not scaled down. The PDF file includes each font character used in the document.
Problem is this.
I actually want the PDF NOT to be bigger than the original document file.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks
J Slater

jslat,
It's probably most important to know exactly what you intend to do with the saved pdf file? Are you going to need to print the pdf etc.?
This Apple Knowledge Base article may help if you haven't already read it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1035.html
littleshoulders [:-)
edit: You have posted in the 10.3 Panther OS and earlier forum and you appear to be using 10.4 (Tiger) by your computer specs below your topic which may handle pdf's somewhat differently. In your post you mention Panther so I just wanted to clarify if need be.

How do I make the page appear bigger or smaller?

On a couple of wesites that I go to frequently the type and or font has either decreased or increased in size. How do I get these particular pages back to their original settings?

You can reset those pages to the default zoom level with '''{Crtl + 0}''' - that's ZERO - while you are viewing those pages.

How do i make the pdf file so that people can fill in the blanks

i converted a file i had into adobe but i need to know how to make it so that people can fill in the blanks only on the form without being able to change it

If you have Acrobat, you add form fields. In Acrobat 11, you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
When you do this it will ask if you want Acrobat to detect form fields for you. This is known as the Form Wizard and it will attempt to divine where it thinks form fields should go based on the content. It work fairly well sometimes, but you will often want to make refinements such as changing the types of fields, the field names, certain field properties, etc.
You decline this automatic field generation and create them all yourself using the various tools available in form editing mode.
More information is available in Acrobat's help and numerous tutorials at http://www.AcrobatUsers.com

How do I find the unused iMovie files so I can delete them?

I'm using a MacBook, late 2008, running Lion & iMovie '11. 164 GB hard drive, 4 GB RAM.
I imported a long movie (well, an hour & a half) into iMovie - at least, I TRIED to. It quit about 3/4 of the way through the import. I tried importing again, the last of the 2 tapes. Still quit at the same point. I started getting a "Startup Disk is almost full" message so I tried deleting every possible file I could delete (iTunes TV shows, pictures, etc.) Freeing up that much memory allowed me to import the last 1/4 of the 2nd tape once more.
I got the movie finished with transitions, titles, etc. & tried to send it to iDVD. It quit after a couple of hours & said there was an error (no number given) and could not finish. I once again started getting that "Startup Disk is Almost Full" message. That's all I can get now. I lost the import of the last 1/4 of the tape, too.
I tried moving the movie file (both the movie file & the iMovie Project folder) to an iMac, 2010, running Lion & iMovie '11 with a 1 TB hard drive & 8 GB RAM. However, the entire movie will not move. It once again leaves out that last 1/4. I cannot import directly from the camera because I just discovered the iMac uses Firewire 800 & I only have a 400 cable!
I just want to find the hidden iMovie trash files from the MacBook, delete them, and re-export the video to iDVD. Where the heck are they?

if you mean to go into the Aperture library in order to get image files to print with Canon's software it's not really possible. The best you would be able to do would be to get the master image and if you're shooting RAW that will be the RAW file. In any case no adjustments you made to the image in Aperture would be available, versions don't exist as files until you export them.
If you want to print with the Canon software you would export the image from Aperture and then print that image file.
If I've misunderstood your question post back,

How do I make a form viewable on a Blackberry, can see form but not data in fields

I have many clients using Blackberries, when they recieve a form via email, they can open the form but the fields are blank. Do I have to save the form as a certain type for then to be able to view it. Have extended the rights

Your users would have to be using a PDF viewer that supports form features. I can't recommend any in particular but you can try looking around to see what's available.

How do you make the strip silence window larger!!

How can I adjust the strip silence window to make the wave files larger so I can see my adjustments better.... Right now they're so small I can't tell what I'm doing..
Thanks
RD

unfortunately you can't! I wish Strip Silence window had zoom controls too.
Workaround 1:
- cut up region into smaller regions and strip silence them individually.
Workaround 2:
- Use the OSX zoom function: Control - scroll-wheel / track pad scroll
Up zooms in, Down zoom out.
