I know many (most?) of us use two monitors in a conventional set up: one for the main image file, one for palettes. But I’m wondering if anyone’s got the lowdown on three monitors: one for palettes, a second for a main work area (where most work is done at high magnification) and a third which, ideally, would be able to show the entire image (full screen), with plain undistracting black or grey background.
The idea being that you could do most of your micro-retouching work on the second screen while the third showed real-time updates of the entire shot: no more continual zooming in-and-out, and no more triple-toggling the F key to switch to black bkgd and eliminate menus.
I just don’t know whether CS3 (or soon 4) will accommodate showing a single open file in all of these different viewing modes simultaneously.
Thoughts?
