Okay, I installed Created Cloud on my system which has two monitors ( my main monitor is a 4K monitor w screen resolution set to 3840 x 2166). Now prior to CC, I was using LR 5 and PS CS6 w/ Nik software on the 4k monitor. The issue: LR CC displays the Nik plugins at the same fonts that LR 5 displayed them at (I'm addressing the menus and sliders), but PS CC for some reason has reduced the fonts down to a size that is un-readable. I have re-installed NIK software same problem LR CC okay and PS CC very small. I have tried reduced the monitor resolution down but hen the fonts in PS CC become too large. When I first got the 4k monitor I had to install Photoshop manifest to allow me to very Photoshop CS6 @ the 3840 x 2166 resolution. This system file was installed by Dell Tech support and it works with both PS CS6 and PS CC.

Help how do I get Nik software to use the same font sizes used in LR CC in PS CC? You know I could see if both new programs were having the same issue, but they are not. In fact, LR CC found the all my plugins and installed during installation. Now I had copy them into PS CC.

Note: I'm also having this same issue with Imagenomic software plugins.

Thanks

You could try the following:

Open Photoshop > Preferences > Interface and change the UI Font size from small to Medium or even Large. The UI scaling can also be changed, but goes from 100% all the way to 200% (which is probably too much).

Thanks for your advice. I made the changes listed above UI font = large UI scaling = 200% and nothing changed - still tiny fonts in NIK.

Okay, I found a workaround for my problem, but I'm not happy with it. WhatI'm doing is moving the plugin over to my second monitor so I can see the sliders and menu items. I'm still looking for a fix.

NIK being discontinued and now totally unsupported by Google probably still uses the basis for legacy resolution settings. There won't likely be a fix of any sort because the development of this free software is now non-existent. There is a glass half full analogy out of this. You could have been one of those people who paid $250 for that suite and are now in the same predicament you are in. New tech always comes with some sort of price. Just some are more lucky than others.

A little off topic, I'm glad I'm not running 4K resolutions. I'm using 1920x1200 across 3 24" Dells. I often game across three of them simultaneously. If I was running 4K across three, there wouldn't be a graphics card(s) that could support the resolution at least at present.

FIXED IT!!!!! My PS CS6 directory had the file photoshop.exe.manifest in the directory. PS CC did not copy that file into its' directory. Since I had already made that change in my registry, all I had to do was copy the photoshop.exe.manifest file into the PS CC directory. Life is wonderful!!!!!!!
