I have Photoshop 6 and I`m not an expert at
this software..
While working with 2 separate photos simultaneously,
I find myself running out of room within the entire main window.
The Tool,Navigator,Color,History,Layer Boxes take up
quite a bit of room themselves.

I`m thinking of getting twin matching monitors for my
flight-simulator software.
Would there be a way of dragging & dropping these 5
toolboxes to a 2nd monitor to free up some space???

I, and probably others, get annoyed having to move these small windows out of the way all the time.

Rather than spending hours seaching and browsing for info, I thought I`d ask this group first???????

Thanks, Shawn.

Hit the tab key to hide/show all palettes and toolbar.

dual monitors is the preferred setup for photoshop…one screen for image(s) and the other for palettes. assuming your hardware configuration will support 2 (or more) monitors, definitely go for it!

Running PS on two monitors is great. You can have whatever palettes you want open on one and the image on the other, or you can stretch Photoshop’s window across both monitors.

just be sure to save your Window > workspace. PS always returns to the default space.
