PS CS6 folders and icons to small

I am using an MAC OSX is Mountain Lion. I am have problems with the small folders and icons in Photoshop CS6. It their a way to make them larger permanently? They are very hard to see. Same goes for the text in PS CS6.

It's not clear making Photoshop "Retina compliant" has anything to do with the question.
Since you mention folders and icons, can we assume you mean you're using Bridge, Vicki? If so, try pressing the Control and + keys simultaneously to see if the elements you're interested in seeing are made larger.
In the Photoshop application itself, the user interface doesn't follow the normal conventions operating systems use to size UI elements, but it does offer some internal configurability. Inside Photoshop, check the Photoshop - Preferences - Interface dialog and look for the UI Font Size configuration setting. It doesn't get a whole lot larger, but it can help some.

Photoshop CS6 Menus and Icons too small on Windows 8.1 with 4K UHD display

Hello,
So I have seen that I am not the first one to ask this question, but I have yet to find any true resolutions. I recently bought anew laptop, a Lenovo with a 4K UHD display which I already love for so many things. But, like a few other programs, the high resolution means the icons and menu text of PS CS6 are incredibly small, which may be alright on a TV, but on a laptop screen, it make it incredibly difficult to work. I have tried all sorts of different approaches in Windows, such as changing the OS font sizes and icon sizes, which do indeed change everything else on the computer, but PS is still the same tiny size. I have also increased the text size under the interface preferences to large, but with little real change. I understand why this is happening, but I am hoping that there is some sort of workaround, beyond just bumping down my screen resolution, which defeats the whole purpose of using UHD to edit photos. I have heard rumors of being able to code in some UI changes manually, but have found no concrete examples of how to actually do that.
I am sure that it would not take Adobe too much time and effort to create an update to help with scaling, but they are very set on pushing forward with Creative Clound, leaving the rest of us loyal customers to the dust until we pay up. If anyone has found any resolutions or workarounds, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

Well other than that, I can't offer anything else as a forum volunteer. I have no idea if anything, what Adobe plans to do for CS6.
I do know that Photoshop CC 2014 has a 200% ui feature for Windows and you might like the Photography Plan which for $10 monthly includes Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom for $10/month.
You can trial CC 2014 to see if it does solve your situation

Home page folders (and icons inside) missing and contents of folders inaccessible

Hello Everyone!
8820 Version 4.5 (AT&T Service)
My home page consisted of 5 folders where I organized all my programs, plus the applications item at the bottom.
Out of the blue a few days ago, the folders disappeared (along with all the icons for programs that were in the folders) and all that is left is a faint outline of the rectangular shaped backgrounds on the left side of the screen that are stacked on top of each other. And the application item at the bottom also does not have any icons in it to access the programs.
So, now for instance, I cannot find and open my contacts program. But, I know the information is still there because I can use the voice dialing feature to call numbers I don't know.
The only icons I can access to get to programs is through the "toggle" feature (alt and esc). Here I have the PTT, messages, bbmesenger,home, phone, and browser icons which I can access.
I purchased the phone the end of last year and just updated to v 4.5 a few weeks ago.
What suggestions would anyone have of the best process to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't have it in fromt of me at the moment, but in going through the Application Loader there should be an Options or Advanced button you can hit. From within that screen you can select the option to wipe all applications or something like that. Doing do will erase everything off the device, and reinstall the OS. Let me know if you see that option.

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
plaint in PhotoShop also.
Send in a bug report, they do read those, and maybe if enough users complain they will modify the program.

Can the interface menus and icons be set a little larger in 64bit Photoshop version CS6 ????

Can the interface menus and icons be set a little larger in 64bit Photoshop version CS6 ????
It would be very helpful if the tools and font size choices were enhanced to Larger, Largest or custom enhance. Anyone know if that is an idea we can send to Adobe?

I wonder about folk who use small screen laptops with a high pixel density. I'd guess that there are 1920x1200 laptops with 17 or possibly even 15 inch screens, and Photoshop is going to be a nightmare to use on them. Heck, the notebook sized iPad 3 has a >2000 pixel screen! That sort of pixel density is going to work its way through to laptops, before too long. I have read about LED televisions with 4K (equivalent of four 1080 panels) and even 8K (equivalent of 8 1080 panels) screens. Is that going to work its way through to computer monitors? To be fair, we are talking about 60inch screens here, but nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to gamers and their hardware!!!
I have all but given up using Photoshop on my 19 inch laptop with a 1920x1200 screen because it is not comfortable compared with the 30 inch monitor I use for my main screen at home (also 1920 x 1200). This is a frequently asked question, and Chris has said it would be a major undertaking to upsize the icons, but it surely has to go on the list for the next upgrade.

I'm trying to hook up my Macbook Pro to my TV. I'm using the 'mini-display port to female HDMI" adapter. all i can see is my desktop background. no folders or icons and when i play a movie it goes blank.

Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV. This is the extended desktop mode.

File type icons in CS6 Design and Web Premium

Hello everyone.
I am running Windows 7, 64 bit. I have recently upgraded from CS5.5 Design Premium to CS6 Design and Web Premium.
I the process, I lost the association of file types (such as .psd) with their relevant programs, which I have now recified.
However, the filetype icons that are associated with each program, in most cases, don't seem to have assigned themselves to their respecitive icons. For example, .psd files now show as a white document with the blue Ps square icon in the centre, and the same for InDesign etc. Oddly, Illustrator has worked and has assigned it's icons correctly.
For example:
I can't find a method of editing specific file types icons - even then, I wouldn't know where to find the particular icon sets.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance either way.

I used the CS Cleaner (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and followed the steps its really easy.. but ur gonna have to re install you Creative Suite all u do for the cleaner is open it up then select english (e) ->enter->Agree (Y)->enter->All (1) (which is the first option for a full clean i guess)->enter->Product Number its just basically asking you to input your choice number again (1)->enter and should tell u its all done then after u install CS again go to start-> default programs->associate file type->.psd for example->double click it and select Photoshop even though its probably already selected >.< but just do it again cuz it will refresh all the files on the coputer and whala you should c the correct file dysplay Heres pictures of my files before and after as proof

Font and Icon size are too small on windows 8.1 computer.

I have a windows 8.1 computer with a 64 bit operating system with the most up to date version of Adobe CS6 and a screen resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. When I open CS6 the font and icons are minescule and I cannot fix it by adjusting the screen resolution. Is there a way to correct this?

Have you tried setting the resolution to 1366 x 768?
I know it defeats the purpose of having a HiDpi screen, but Photoshop CS6 was released when such displays were not common.
Photoshop CC 2014 has an experimental 200% UI scale for such PCs, but it is a $10 a month subscription to the Photography Plan. You can trial it out to see if you can use it.

Put iPod Touch icons into folders and organized all my apps. iTunes keeps erasing them.

Hi Everyone
   New iPod touch owner. I arranged my icons into folders for all my apps. But everytime I connect to iTunes it erases all my folders. And moves all my icons around. Anyway to tell iTunes or the iPod to not keep erasing all my folders and not to move all my icons around after I have organized them in the way I want.
   Thanks
Happy Summer
TeachYourselfSinging

Hello Everyone,
    I finally figured it out. Did not know you had to be connected to iTunes and then you can drag icons around, put them into folders, delete any apps you do not want on your iPod Touch and more from within iTunes.
    When you done doing what you want, then iTunes syncs your changes to your iPod Touch. And your apps, icons, folders, will all be the same on your iPod Touch as they appear in your iTunes Library.
Happy Weekend

My dad's ipad 2 is glitchy. The icons are small, and some have no design. The dock is gone, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it won't turn

I was just checking fb when suddenly i accidentally pressed this app about this battery thing. Now some icons are small, and some icons have no design
There is no dock, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it didn't turn. I turned it off and on about many times, and the play, fast forward, and reverse button are overlapping. ITS SO GLITCHY!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

HT3142 I clicked the double arrows and the size of the screen covered the entire screen. how can I go back to smaller screen where I can wsee the time and icons and everything in one look?

I clicked the double arrow and the screen enlarged and covered everything. now I cannot see the time and icons etc. how can I control the size of my display screen?

Press the ESC key or push the cursor all the way to the top of the screen to reveal the menubar. Click on that same gadget to return to normal size.

Enlarging Print and Icons

I just loaded CS6 and the program came up with very small print for both words and icons. How do I enlarge everything to normal size??

You may want to try reducing the resolution of your monitor if you are having difficulty with the UI. According to http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/tech-specs.html we require a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768. Perhaps try adjusting your resolution settings to this setting and see if it is a bit easier for you to utilize.

After computer would not boot and could not be repaired, I reformatted the HDD, reinstalled Vista plus all service packs and updates, recovered files from Microsoft backup and installed new copy of Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not run.

After intallation was completed, the automatic startup just placed a small box on the screen "Import wiz". This just sat there with no activity. After I closed this box, none of the Firefox start buttons would open the program -- just the blue rotating icon for about 2 seconds then nothing.

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?
