Icons in photoshop and illustrator are too small to work
I have a samsung ativ book with high screen resolution (3200x1800). when I want to work with ps or ai their icons become extremly small. (the icons in indesign have a good size!) is there a possiblity to scale the icons up? I already turned up the screen resolution - but strangly that didn't change the size of the icons. what can I do? and why is there a differnce between ps, illustrator and indesign?

I have just downloaded Creative Cloud on a new computer. The new photoshop icons and text are too small for me to see or work with. I cannot seem to adjust this so its "useable"
Hey Bob,
Ive put feature requests for this in before and I know many others have as well. Is there any way to see if Adobe is actually working on this? I dont really consider this a feature request, it should be standard with the software. A feature request would be something like creative cloud libraries, not the ability to make font sizes and icons bigger. -
The drop down menus in Photoshop CC 2014 are too small to read without using the magnifier. They are OK in Photoshop CC. I have been unable to find anyplace to adjust the font size. I have Windows 7 Pro. Looking at the Photoshop version history, it looks like this problem comes and goes as Photoshop is updated. It should be an easy fix.

Example of no cursor. Any website, such as youtube, there is no cursor in the box, and there are no letters when I type, but the system recognizes what I type. As for e-mail, hotmail works o.k., but with yahoo the boxes for username and password are too small, there is no cursor and I can't type anything. With gmail, there is no cursor, but I can type my username and password.

Colors in Photoshop (and Illustrator) are really off.
the biggest thing i noticed was that my greys were more brown than anything. I've included a sample pic that might show better the things i'm referring to.
so in the color selector dialog, the whole left side (white to black) is all tinted brown, like a sepia. this occurs in both Photoshop CC 64 and Illustrator CC. other applications like Paint.net, regular Paint, and GIMP show the normal white to black gradation with all the normal greys, so i know the monitor is displaying fine. i assume it's a color profile that i have to set or adjust somewhere, but the weird thing is that in Illustrator's color selection dialog, the square preview swatch of the color seems accurate and does NOT match what i see in the actual color "wheel". In Photoshop, the square swatch DOES match the color wheel, and both are incorrect. and weird, uploading the image to the forum here, the colors are equally screwed up (EDIT: once i hit "post" the posted images shows the blue color like it should). i'm going to try hosting this somewhere else and linking to it.
maybe someone could just check out the color 4252e8 and see if it's a periwinkle-type blue or a plumb-y purple.Made what adjustment exactly?
Your problem is a bad display profile. The other applications aren't color managed and don't use the profile at all, so they're unaffected.
The way to fix that is to use a calibrator to make a new profile, but since you don't have one use sRGB. Set the profile in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices:
Relaunch PS/Ai so that they can pick up the correct profile at startup. -
Using Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5. Menu and text are too small on my 4k Display.
I am running Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5 on my windows 8.1 laptop with 4K display. Where is the option to increase the size of menu and font? The menu looks fine on my mac book pro retina display at work, so I know it has to be possible. Please help.
You can go to Edit>Preferences>Interface>UI Font size and increase the font size a little. Whether that will make any difference on a 4K display I don't know. CC 2014 has an option ("Experimental") to increase the UI size by 200% for high density displays. Sorry - not much help.

The pictures I uploaded from my digital camera are stored in iPhoto and under Photo_data_roll... I am trying to print them, but the quality is very bad because the size of the photos was compressed (or something) when I uploaded them. How do I get the photos to their normal size?
This sounds like it is more likely a problem with your camera. Digital cameras have setting for resolution and amount of compression used. I would start by looking there. If resolution is set low or compression too high, the picture might look okay on a camera's two inch screen but like c**p in iPhoto.

" This version of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator not compatible with my computer"
CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator are not compatible with my computer. Is there a downloadable version of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator that is? I downloaded in both the CS6 Design and Web Premium and individually, neither worked. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
No. if that message comes up, you are running on an old first generation Core Duo processor on an iMac/MacBook/ Mac mini and it simply is not compatible, no matter what version of OSX. It lacks specific chip components required for the code.

I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%) If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see? There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light. MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014
I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt. -
My husband's only way to communicate is with ipad. He now has double-vision. The icons are too small. Is Apple planning on accommodating us boomers and handicapped with a larger icons? Zooming doesn't help because it's not a permanent setting and he can't change it too meet his needs because of limited manual dexterity. I understand and appreciate the desire for consistency, couldn't they make a two or three size option setting. Small, Medium, Large and maybe Xlarge?
Thanks. Tried it. The size of icons is great but now the part of the screen is missing. For example, he likes going into his music app, yes, it was easier for him to see and select, but once in the app he couldn't see the sides, so he couldn't select song without a double-tap to get it out of zoom. I will see if I can arrange his pages so that all icons show. This is a sort of work around. Larger icons would be a better solution. My husbands illness makes him akin to a person with ALS, so his ipad is his prized possession.

Why Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 are so slow on my MacBook Pro early 2011?
First of all sorry for my english
I recently installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 and they tend to lag even on just during normal work operations like zooming, opening a file, selecting a tool, browsing menus etc etc.
Cpu, Ram and Gpu usage are normal, I mean when I use these software there's at list 85% of free Cpu, 1GB of Ram still available, and 80% of free GPU. And I got 30GB left on my hardrive which is little but I believe is enough.
So I cannot believe this slow performance is due hardware limitations. There must be some driver issue or something else.
Anyone knows why CS6 is so slow?
Software version:
Photoshop CS6 13.0.1
Illustrator CS6 13.0.0
My Specs:
Os: Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Cpu: Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
4GB ram
AMD Radeon HD 6750Midunnoisok wrote:

My experience is that Photoshop can demand and use prodigious amounts of memory and disk space, much more than one might expect from the size of the files being worked on. While I don't have direct experience with CS6, my daughter uses CS4 on a Macbook Air with 4 GB memory and she had 100 GB free (on a 250 GB solid state drive). CS4 is less demanding than CS6, and in fact with the SSD, it runs pretty well, even with just 4 GB memory (the solid state drive is basically like memory, in fact, in some ways). However after running Photoshop on some projects for a while, we noticed she had only 60 GB free disk space. After restarting her Mac, she had 100 GB free again. Photoshop CS4 was using up 40 GB of disk space! And this was simply editting some (multiple) photos from a digital camera. Photoshop not only has its own memory management processes, but it also pages to disk and uses disk space as "scratch space" in its own fashion. I think that it is inadvisable to run Photoshop with less than 100 GB free disk space, and that's with CS4, not even CS6. And if you don't have a solid state drive, the throughput might slow down immensely unless you have a lot of memory (I think someone else pointed this out already).
Bottom line -- based on what I have seen with CS4, 4 GB memory is too low by at least a factor of x2 (16 GB memory would be even better), and I'd say a minimum of 100 GB free disk space is a must as well. I saw CS4 using more than 40 GB of "scratch disk space" and you are using CS6, which must use significantly more resources than CS4, and you indicate only 30 GB free space. That seems too low to me. I think other Adobe major software packages are similarly demanding, unlike any other software I have seen or used. For instance, I think you would have no trouble running MS-Office software (which is also known for using computer resources, but not anywhere as much as Adobe software).
One thing you can do is when you notice things slowing down, not only quit all other software except for CS6, but also in the Finder, under the Go menu, enter
/private/var
under Go To Folder ...
and then look in the folder called
vm
If you see swapfiles, add up the total space they are taking, and also the space taken by the sleepimage file. These are working to decrease the amount of free space you have and they can quickly grow to tens of GB when Photoshop and other Adobe softwares are running.
Since it sounds like you have now upgraded your RAM, that should help, but you may find that the swapfiles and sleepimage files are taking even more disk apce faster and I think 100 GB free space is needed to avoid further slowdowns. -
File printing and icons for folders in Bridge CS5 - too small to read
Got CS5 and am trying to use Bridge. The folders are too small to read and the print with them too small. The slider at the bottom of the page enlarges the space but the files and printing stay the same size. If I open one the images will enlarge with the slider but I don't want to waste time opening each file to see what is in them. I want to be able to read wha the file is and open the right one first try.
Tried calling "tech support" Those jackasses can't speak English. On hold for 3 hours overall after getting someone, getting cut off and having to call again. I hope Pakistan nukes India and solves that problem.
When I finally got through the guy told me my Photoshop copy was not registered. Funny, it was last week when it had problems. Then I try changing the pasword and it says it did it, but won't accept it.
I hate computers.
So, anyone know how to get this damn probram to make the folders and printing big enough to read without my having to get up to the screen with a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes? The screen is a 22inch graphic arts monitor and I don't have this problem with any other programs. Not Breezebrowser, Not Auto Pano Pro, not Photo Mechanic. Just Bridge with this overpriced and overhyped photoshiz crap.Small, and uncustomizable, fonts has been a com

I created a file in Photoshop CS5 (a photo) and another in Illustrator CS5 (a graph) to place in my InDesign CS5 brochure. When the Photoshop and Illustrator files are placed in InDesign, they look blurry - whether viewed in InDesign, printed, or saved as a PDF. Can anyone give me some tips on how to fix this? Thanks!

The fonts are too small on my imac desktop and web browsers. Where can I increase the size?
babowa wrote:
The only way to increase the fonts on your desktop would be system wide by going down a notch on the resolution. Some people won't do it because it increases the pixel size so the fonts won't be quite as sharp; I decided I'd rather have that than having to squint continuously. Go to System Preferences > Displays > Scaled > this will give you all resolution options available. No harm in trying - just check the default (top) choice again if you don't like any of the others.
It's a b*&^ch getting old . I still use the screen zoom instead of decreasing resolution, but maybe soon ... -
Phone and Tablet versions are too small
When using a phone or tablet to view my website www.elrocco.com.au the pages are too small.
The desktop version is fine.
I use GoDaddy for domain management and forward to elrocco.businesscatalyst.com
When I use the url elrocco.businesscatalyst.com directly on the phone or tablet, everything is fine.
Is threre something I need to do on GoDaddy to ensure the phone and tablet versions display correctly?
Thanks in advance for you help.It appears you were able to figure this out as the site looks just fine (and identical to the BC's system domain) when viewed through an iPhone.
Thanks,
