Ruler Text Size on 4k Monitor PSP X8 & X9

[DougL]

I recently upgraded to a 4k monitor. Whereas PSP X8 and X9 claim compatibility with 4k monitors, the ruler text and scroll bars do not resize properly in either product (both with the most recent updates) in the Edit Workspace. All other text and dialog boxes resize appropriately. I've gone through the File, Preferences; User Guide; and Knowledge Base and found no options or ideas for scaling those tools manually. Please see attached image which illustrates the issue. The ruler is near-impossible to read and the scroll bars are difficult to grab onto. I own PSP X8 and have X9 on a trial basis and they both have the same issue. Please let me know what I can do to resize these tools properly. Thanks!

Thanks, JoeB. That doesn't work in my case on either X8 or X9, it actually made the icons even smaller. I think the problem is that PSP is telling Windows that it scales automatically when it really doesn't, so Windows doesn't scale it, either. I'm working with Corel Tech Support and they've been very responsive and methodical. When a resolution is developed I'll post it here.

There's a registry editing way to work on this issue but its too complex for me. I'll post it here in case any one else is interested. http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-fix-apps ... n-displays

You are one of the first to test Corel's claim of PSP support for 4K monitors -- I guess they didn't test very well as your image shows the scaling problem.
From Corel's website for PSP X9-
"4K monitor support
See each detail and appreciate the beauty of your photos when you pair your new photo editing software with a high resolution monitor. PaintShop Pro X9 is compatible with Ultra High DPI displays (up to 250% zoom with 4K resolution)."
