So I just bought Poser yesterday and I've got a problem, the editing tools are extremely small on the preview screen. Both on my 4K screen and 1080 screen, in fact it's hard to notice there's anything there at all. I've checked online and it seems no one else has had this issue, so I'm wondering what's going on.

Suggestion: post a screen grab and edit it with an arrow to show us exactly what you mean by "editing tools."

Well here's the image, with the black arrow pointing to the editing tools and the blue pointing to the preview screen where I had the cursor, when I took the image. Did try to get the cursor in the screenshot, even followed microsoft's instructions on how to take an image with the cursor. It just wasn't happening.

The editing tools can stay right where they are. You have a good one selected. Move your cursor to Andy's arm, hold down the button, and drag. It should move him.

Is that what you want to do?

Well yeah but that's not my problem, again when the cursor enters the preview screen it becomes a extremely small dot, about as thin as the black lines shown in the screenshot. Makes it extremely hard to see what I'm doing.

There is the UI Scale setting in General Preferences->Interface - does that help?

No changing the UI scaling didn't effect it.

There is a general issue with Windows on 4K monitors.

You mean that the cursor goes extremely small right? => That's a Windows 4K monitor issue. I have this most of the time, NOT always, but most of the time in multiple apps including Poser and Blender.

On a 4K monitor, my personal Poser UI setting is 1.5 in General preferences :=> Interface => UI Scale => Interface Scale factor => Set to 1.5 Restart Poser.

Holy-moly!! that is difficult. Well, a small work around could be to ... until you are ready to render ... make the construct Blackout from the material library ... it makes the tool pure white ... and even though it's still small (or I expect it to be I don't have a 4k monitor) it may be more visible. Another suggestion would be to lower the resolution of your monitor ... for using Poser anyway.

Does Poser follow the Windows pointer rules or does it make its own? For Windows you've got options in the Control Panel- 1 Ease of Access to change the pointer size and colour and 2 Mouse Properties for pointer trails and show pointer with the Ctrl keyboard button.

The Select Tool uses the Window pointer size you set up but the rest of the tools use the Poser native size. So only the Select Tool gets bigger when changing in Windows settings.
