Lr may have chosen 150% for me based on the resolution of my screen. Your situation may be different. To find what the original setting was, select Automatic and restart Lr.

I went there. I don't know what it was previously set at, but I changed it, restarted LR and now it's HUGE - I can't even see all of the screen. So I'm trying smaller and smaller sizes to get to where I can see all of the screen and still read the text. THANKS.

It was laser surgery. I don't know what kind of implant I got, but I got both for distance. I still have a slight astigmatism, so I do need to wear glasses. I can see my computer screen just fine without glasses until I get to LR. It's text is TINY! I have to get up really close to read it. I sort of know where things are, so I can maneuver, but it's getting annoying. I don't remember the text being that small before.

Ah, yea.

WSFTP-95 (WinSock File Transfer Protocol-1995) on my new hi-res Win11 laptop has a bit smaller font than running on my desktop.

Possibly in LR settings there might be a selectable entry for font size? There's one in WSFTP-95.

In EDIT>Preferences under the Interface tab you'll see "Font Size" at the top on the right. In the dropdown menu you can resize the text. It will be on Auto by default. You'll have to experiment to get a suitable size of text. Apparently it will be at 150% by default so you'll have to go bigger (200% or 250%).

Help. I just read this post with great interest (since I have an upcoming cataract surgery). I reset the interface preference as suggested to 200, hit the “save” button, shut down and restated Lr,
and it worked. BUT NOW the screen and font are so large that I cannot see the “save” button at the bottom of the Preferences page. I would like to change the font size to a smaller selection…..but I can’t reach the “save button” at the bottom of the screen. Any suggestion? (this is urgent since I was in the middle of an Edit/PP session when I made this change)....thanks.

This is exactly what has happened to me! Now I can't get it back to something manageable. There's no scroll bar to allow me to get down there!

The dark band along the top of the Preferences window can be used for dragging. If you place the cursor on it and hold down the left hand mouse button you can drag the window to the top of the screen. That may reveal the Save button.

It's already at the top and I can't see any save button.

Thanks R.G.....usually that works. But now the Preference Page is so large, (it fills the entire display area on the monitor screen) It can't be dragged up or down to reach the bottom where the Save button is located. Yikes!

Try hitting the Enter key.

Try CTL-

The hold the Control key and tap the minus key.
See if that works.

(CTL+ to enlarge)

Unfortunately it doesn't work for WSFTP.....

Thanks R.G. .....that worked:

That was a close one.....since I'm still running Lr 6.14

I hope this solution/suggestion works for the OP.....

Thanks again

Phew!

. As I said in an earlier post, it probably depends on your monitor resolution. Start at the one that's marked "Current" and move up from there, one step at a time.
