I’ve been using PhotoShop 6 since shortly after its release. Today, I set up dual monitors on my system for the first time. Using a Matrox G450 with the latest drivers on a Pentium 4 under Win 2000 Pro.
What I wanted was to keep my editing on one monitor and move all the pallets to the other. It doesn’t seem to work that way.
Windows treats this setup as a single wide screen monitor and spreads everything across the two. Opening splash screens are split between the monitors. And while I can indeed move the pallets over to the 2nd monitor, I cannot seem to confine the photo image to the first. Worse, I can’t even pan a 100% size image if it fits within the width of the two monitors.
Nor can I get Adobe Gamma to recognize this as two monitors that need individual treatments. This is not what I had in mind.
Please, somebody, tell me I’m making some foolish mistake in my setup. This is not a workable arrangement.
Thank you.
