I’m running Windows XP, after installing the video card with two monitor capability I just asked that my windows be extended to the second monitor.
I have two nineteen inch monitors. The whole seupt works great. I had more problems after installing the software that came with the video card so I removed it and just let Windows do it’s thing.
My main monitor is profile with Monaco EZ Color and the second one used for placing the tools etc. I’m posting this message using my second monitor as I have something else on my other screen :-).
I hope I don’t have trouble setting up. Havn’t got the video card yet. I bought Display Magic to calibrate color. I don’t belive it works too good. Do you have any trouble with Monaco EZ Color? Does it keep the settings? I have Windows XP.
I have been using EZ Color for a while now, maybe 9 months or so. The thing to remember is that you can only profile one monitor, your main monitor that is. I usually calibrate twice a month, for heavy use some people recommend every week. The way I calibratee my main monitor was to first do the calibration and later enable the second monitor. Win XP should make it easy for you.
I have Photoshop 4.0.1 on XP with 2 monitors (matrox550 card, 1g ram, 2.6 p4)
My question is I can move the photoshop window and working picture onto screen 2 but none of the pallets. (Painter 5.5 has similar prob) The only advice I can get is that if its a MS DOS prog then it cannot utilise the two screens.
Because PS4 is a Win 95 program and the fact half of it does display over two screens I’m trying to confirm that this is a problem only corrected by an upgrade to XP compatable software?
please tell me there is a patch or something!
Cheers, Ed.
I use Painter 8. Since initially I could not get the tools to detach, I just run the program in a window, not full screen. This allows me to stretch the window over to the second monitor, and voila now the tools are on the second half of the window on the second monitor.
