Hello, I just purchased the Surface Pro from Best Buy. I bought it to use adobe products such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and such. The menu and icons are so small making it nearly impossible to navigate through the tools and menus. 

Are there any options? I love the tablet but will be returning it in the next week if I can't find a solution.

Thanks,

Kip

I experienced this same issue last year. I only found the solution for Photoshop:

Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Experimental Features -> Select "Scale UI 200%" AND "Enable touch gestures"

That a problem with Photoshop itself... Its not respecting the scaling factor of Windows. The MacOS had the same problem too after Retina displays came out.

I'm afraid you cant do anything about it. You have to wait until Adobe addresses this problem.

    Hello. I downloaded a font with super jagged edges and there's no simple way to correct this in Photoshop that is on my laptop. My laptop has XP and now b/c Adobe no longer supports XP I cannot download Illustrator onto my laptop so I'm forced to use my Surface Pro 2 to clean the text up. Has this issue ever been solved by Adobe? If not is there a Surface Pro 2 app I can download to clean up TT font?

    If other apps are all right, i think the problem is photoshop, you can uninstall these apps completely and re-install. or you can try the portable versions, like

    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended multilingual portable
