Kindest regards,

Asking the question usually prompts me to come up with answer on my own, too.
It is a beautiful thing to have two monitors, isn’t it?

yup! lacie electron 22 blue IV & Nec Multisync LCD 17. Gotta love it!
Trista & Dave:
You bet your sweet bippy it is. But wait, there’s more. Those monitors are hooked up to a brand new custom built machine to wit:
Pentium 4 3.2 (over clocking 10%), 2 gig dual memory, 256 mb graphics accelerator, three scuzzy 17 gig hards, one of which is a dedicated scratch disk plus a 250 gig SAT hard for storage. It rocks and screams. Chews up 600 dpi 16 bit files like its on vacation. Life is good.Thanks for your help.
Joe
over clocking 10%
don’t do it! the tiny bump isn’t worth the chance of a fried board/chip! just say no.
Get a program called UltraMon, its designed for multiple Monitors.
It gives you 2 more buttons next to your maxamise and minimise for spanning accross all monitors or moving a window with 1 click to exact same spot on other monitor. Also adds a monitor specific task bar to each monitor, so any programs open on monitor 1 will appear on monitor 1s taskbar, any programs on monitor 2 will appear on monitor 2s task bar, and so on for how ever many monitors you use.

Theres the link anyway.
Dave:
Thanx again for your good counsel.
Joe
I’ll second the recommendation for Ultramon. The separate taskbars are reason enough to buy it, plus it allows you to have different wallpaper on each monitor…

Does Ultramon give one the ability to place the PS file browser on the 2nd monitor?
Anyone using more than two monitors out there? It would be cool to be able to have PS open and still read from the internet on a 3rd.
before you plunk down 39 bucks for a 3rd party solution make sure your vid card manufaturer doesn’t offer the same for free. ati has hydravision (which i’m currently using-and I really like it!) and nvidia has the multi monitor control panel. i can use either since my 1st card is an ati aiw 9700pro and my 2nd is an nvidia no name "generic" card. both work equally well on my system. I like the hydravision beacuse it also gives me multiple desktops. click changes to desktop 2 (a completely new "enviornment") while desktop one is still busy with whatever it’s doing. click to desktop 3, click to desktop 4. virtually limitless (as long as you have the ram). a great feature!

that’s a ps feature. in 7 you used to be able to dock the browser in the palette well then drag the option bar to the 2nd monitor, in effect giving you the browser on monitor 2. in cs they took that out in favor of keeping the browser on monitor 1 because of the color management, etc. i hate taking up my primary monitor real estate with the browser!!!
ADOBE PLEASE LET US MOVE THE BROWSER OFF THE PRIMARY DISPLAY!!!

No, the browser in CS cannot be separated from the application window
No, the browser in CS cannot be separated from the application window
the app itself, however can be spread across 2 monitors, enabling you to put the browser on mon. 2. that’s the only way, for now.
I HATE working that way. when you zoom (expand window to fit = on) you wind up with your image spread across 2 monitors. ick.
in cs they took that out in favor of keeping the browser on monitor 1 because of the color management,
That’s ridiculous! How about letting ME decide?
I can see forcing the camera RAW files to open on the main, color managed monitor, but the thumbnails and preview of the file in the file browser don’t need to be color managed.
Besides that, my old monitor was my main and I had adjusted the color (with another program, not Adobe Gamma) just before setting it up as the second, and it looks to me like the color management settings are holding.
That’s ridiculous! How about letting ME decide?
maybe whoever wrote the color mgmt code was so proud of if they wanted to make sure everyone used it! %D
anyway, that’s what we’ve been saying all along. i believe there’s a feature request to put it back in the FR section at the top of this forum. i suggest you add your voice there. the more the merrier!

hmm… possibly another reason to force the browser to monitor 1, i’d forgotten that they included the ACR plugin into CS for the 1st time (used to be a seperate product). still, as i don’t use RAW, i couldn’t give a rats patootie! i just want the bloody think off of my primary monitor’s real estate!

OK, I’ll look for that.
BUT What is the point of HAVING a place to request features if Adobe doesn’t plan on fixing the bugs that are here already, like no vertical tiling of images and the file browser reducing itself and changing setup every time one opens an image??
Oh, once you get used to being able to adjust RAW files in 16 bit, you’ll never want to go back.
And it still seems like the request to open the file browser on the 2nd monitor could be separated from opening RAW on the 1st.

Funny. There’s no place to post a message. Guess Adobe got tired of hearing about it!
it’s hit the archive. start a new thread.
