      I know, old video but this really helped. I don't use Adobe products too often but I do have the old CS6 Master Suite that I would like to use on occasion. My new problem is that when I create an artboard, the cursor is very small. Have you seen a fix for this?

    Hey.. This has been bugging me for years.. I still used it.. I searched for a solution again today after all this time as I upgraded to Win11 and wanted to try and find a fix and I found your video.. well what can I say.. that fixed it for me - I can't believe it.. Looks normal now. Cannot thank you enough.. years of using it with a magnifier and having to walk up close to my TV .. The Saga is over and I can now kick back and lay in bed and work with it properly.. THANK YOU MY MAN.. I'll also bear that in mind if any other applications do the same.. I know where to look now in properties. Thanks again !!!

    I had to move my CS6 from my old computer to my new computer and forgot how to make my small text on the software to be correct size. I watched several videos and some tried to send me to several areas of my computer to make this happen and i remembered that it did not take all this effort to make all this right on my 4k TV. This Video was OUTSTANDING on getting me right to the correct area and how to make it happen and he talks very clearly so it took me about two minutes to fix my problem. Great Video....

  • @sjinsatx7583

    Glad I found your video. I had to reinstall my Photoshop Elements 7.0 (yet again) on my 2007 Win 10 machine, and with my 4K 32" monitor the Adobe screen was absolutely unreadable. I'd found a fix right after I got the monitor a little over a year ago and had found a solution then but at 76 years old there's no way I could remember that. You video came up early in my search today and I appreciate the short, direct, and simple way you presented the solution. As a retired programmer and computer programming instructor/instruction developer I can say that your style gets a 5 star rating in my book.
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Yes, this fix works, but: the whole window is scaled up, and all photos seems to be blurry as they are scaled up in the same way. Compare you images between a simple image viewer and load the same to PS CS6. This fix scales up all images and the UI but looses all the crispness of a 4k monitor unfortunately.

    I had my old monitor die, and just put in a 4K new one. I opened PS to play around, and it was so tiny I could not make out anything. Did a search and your video came up, did what you said, and everything's now back to normal.
    I tried going through Preferences in PS, but nothing was there to fix it.
