I have Premier Elements 2020. Just bought a new camera - Nikon Z6ii. After a great deal of effort I was informed by Adobe that PE2020 nor 2021 supports Camera Raw v13.1 which is the one I need. So I have now resorted to DNG converter for the forsee-able future. Which is fine except the DNG converter box is tiny! Any ideas on how to get it bigger?  |

Can't comment on DNG.
Sooner or later PSE will accommodate the ACR version you need. I waited 3 or 4 months when I bought my mirrorless 3 years ago.
Enjoy your new camera.

Go to C: Program Files > Adobe > Adobe DNG Converter and right-click on Adobe DNG Converter.exe to bring up the Properties window.
Select the Compatibility tab and click the Change high DPI settings button.
Under High DPI scaling override, click the checkbox next to Override high DPI scaling behavior and select System from the dropdown list for Scaling performed by:
Click OK, then OK again to close all the dialog boxes and try opening the Adobe DNG Converter again. It should be a bit bigger now.

Thank you ever so much phildc. I would never have found that. It is bigger by about 10%. There was another option which was 'System enhanced'. Have you any idea what that does?  |

Sure  The System (Enhanced) option does the same scaling as System, but it also tries to make the text a little sharper. I tend to alternate between both the System and System (Enhanced), as sometimes one works better than the other depending on the application. Sometimes I've found the System (Enhanced) option causes some glitches in the interface, so it's just a case of experimenting to see which option works best. I've got a pretty low resolution display compared to many new laptops (1920 x 1080) so the Adobe DNG Converter takes up about 40% of the width of the display and about 70% of the height, so is more than big enough for me to work with. From your screenshot it looks like you've got a higher resolution display than me, so if you are still struggling with the Converter you might want to reduce your resolution temporarily while you use it - Start > Settings > System > Display > Scale and Layout > Display Resolution |

Thank you. I will have a play with it. Once I have gotten used to it it will just be a case of pressing the button!!
