Does LR handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?

Does LR 5 handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?
I'm planing to buy a 27" 16:9 monitor and use it as primary together with a 22" 16:10. Does any have any idea?
Thanks

Moreover, the two monitors can have completely different characteristics. As always, you really need to calibrate/profile any monitor (with a hardware tool - Spyder, Colormunki etc). That's no more important with two monitors, but you see for sure if you don't, as two dissimilar monitors will then probably look different.

Dual monitor setup with seperate resolutions

hey guys!
i currentley run thye latest version of archlinux with the cinnamon desktop environment and an nvidia geforce 7300SE graphics card.
im running a dual monitor setup with one 27" 1920x1080 monitor and one 27" 1024X768 monitor
because they have the same physical size they line up perfectley but because the resolution is different programs/mouse cursor movement doesnt, is there any way (without changing the resolutions) to compensate this effect so that in the eyes of linux/cinnamon the monitors line up so that for example dragging a window goes seamlessley between the 2 monitors.
i HAVE found out the panning option in the nvidia x server settings, but that really isnt what i am looking for...

A magnifier following the window down to the pixel, zooming to the exact size of 540 pixels the 384 pixels window could create an illusion of just that. It would be highly impractical however, not mention all the hacking time. Even if you would manage to get two screen with different sized icons, so that they match visually, the windows and fonts resizing on the fly, wmctrl might help with windows alone, no their themes (buttons, borders thickness etc.), you would still be left with a visually differently sized mouse cursor. Technically such a feat should be possible, but who is going to code it? Nvidia?

There will be a set of Landscapes that that have a narrower aspect ratio the 1960:1103 that would also need the top and bottom cropped like all Portraits would could be. You need to realize that center cropping Landscape image that have aspect ratios near 1960:1103 will usually produce acceptable compositions. However Cropping wide panoramas and portraits will only produce acceptable landscape 1960:1103 composition occasionally.
Here you will see what happens when image have aspect ratio the do not fit the desired aspect ratio. Where Landscape are forced to portrait and portrait forced to Landscape. Here are two Collage I populated with a mixture of image with different aspect ratios. One collage has all 3:2 Landscape places and the other 2:3 Portrait places.
I create a 1 image 1960x1103 collage 72dpi and create those too. Note the landscape boy foot is cropped off 3:2 is narrow compared to 1960:1103

Is a dual monitor setup with 2graphic cards possible?

HI.
What i want to do is run Archlinux on my Desktop but i dont want to miss my second monitor.
I could use both monitor on my nvidia graphiccard but i want to use the energy saving features too (wich dont work with 2monitor on one card) therefore my windows setup is big monitor on nvidia and the smaller one on the intel onboard card.
They both get recognized by lspci but only the onboard cards isy being used (the onboard card is the first card on windows too).
So is it possible to get it to work? Id really want to use ARchlinux on my Desktop too but i dont want to use it with one screen or without energy saving?
Working compositing is a must, i want to use gnome3 wich is the only reason to swich to linux for the Desktop (arch is running on the laptop for ages^^) but i dont need to, Win7 is working flawlessly fine and i didnt have to pay for it (msdnaa).
Thanks in advance!

hy do you need to clock down your card?
Most gpu have a function that clocks down the card@idle and or desktop.
In my case thats down from 850mhz(560ti)to 200mhz while using windows and 50mhz if the gpu load is low.
Thats about 20watts less then with full clock.
The problem is, that the gpu wont clock down with 2monitors on it, it stays at 850mhz.
Theres some driver tweaks for amd cards wich "fix" thatfix this (i believe its intentionl, 2monitors equals more load but its no problem with new cards...
Thats one reason i use my onboard gpu for the second monitor, it works well with windows and also means that swiching off fullscreen (games) to the desktop works a lot better, the second monitor can play a movie while playing wich doesnt work with one gpu and fullscreen.
I really dont need that with Linux since i use it for work and multimedia only but the energy saving feature is nice if the pc is on 8hours and more wich is often the case.
Can you tell which one do you run? I'm going to buy one for dual-monitor setup, and I'm looking for something that will work for shure.
As said dual monitor on one gpu works, amd can do 3monitors while nvidia can do 2 at once, that means if u intend to use 3monitors some day with ur card u have to buy an amd card.
i took the nvidia because is can use it to render videos with cuda support (its not working with all tools yet but its getting better and if it works its a lot faster then my cpu rendering).
PS: Thats one hread about the power saviing with 2monitors:http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=197557
since my monitors dont share the same resolution it seems that theres no way to make it work .

In dual monitor setup firefox 9.01 menus blink in and out

Every version of firefox AFTER the 3.6 series has problems in dual monitor setups and I want to be able to keep all tabs I had open when I close firefox so when I open again they are there. In dual monitor if I use monitor 2 for firefox (which is the way I use it) the menu blink rapidly when I click on them and make very hard to navigate. What is it with the video setup in win7 I have to use an older version of winamp due to tearing in the second monitor? Have all you companies not fully learned who to implement dual monitor setups properly or is that not really a concern?

Firefox doesn't always play well with a multiple monitor setup and hardware acceleration.
Try to disable hardware acceleration.

Mouse pointer is unchangeable at 100% scaling in multi monitor setup with different resolutions

Hi there, I have been asked by one of the moderators of the Windows 8.1 forums to post this topic here. You can see the thread relating to this post here
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/cant-change-the-cursor-pointer/ae8ad8a0-3ded-4810-a3be-794f6c4830a4?msgId=2bd7082f-f5d1-4b01-8c70-e0d2a754d66f&page=1<o:p></o:p>
The problem: The mouse pointer becomes unchangeable in size, type, trails etc when 100% scaling is used. As in it reverts to the standard small white non-inverted, no trails,
no shadow 'pointer', no matter what options you select in the 'Mouse' control panel settings.<o:p></o:p>
This appears to be a scaling problem with the Windows 8/8.1 display, not an actual mouse problem. Judging by my own and other peoples experience it seems to happen mainly with multi
monitor setups where different screen resolutions are used. The issue occurs typically when 100% scaling for all monitors is used or this option is un-ticked and the 'change the size of all items' is on smallest (equivalent to 100%). <o:p></o:p>
If the scaling is set to 150% or greater the issue disappears and the mouse pointer becomes fully functional. Also bizarrely when the scaling is set to 100% if the screen is recorded
using a screen capture program, the recording of the screen shows the mouse pointer selected in the mouse options and not the default small white cursor that is present when recording it. Here is a link to a video where I explain and show the problem
happening on my system. http://youtu.be/xs2cxoeaq-A<o:p></o:p>
I have every update installed without exception, latest drivers etc. I use a 55" 4k screen with 2x1080p monitors in portrait on either side. All are connected through 1 Nvidia
GTX 780 6GB graphics card<o:p></o:p>
Hope you can help us<o:p></o:p>
thanks<o:p></o:p>

Hi Jon,
I'm looking into this issue but it will take me some time to provide a reply.
In the meantime I noticed that you have 3 monitors with 1x 55' and 2x27' - please have a try to only connect 1x27' monitor and see if issue persists.
Also please try to change the screen resolution to a lower size and see if issue persists.
Both suggestions are not solution, I just would like to know if it is related to multiple monitor or screen resolution.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Changing monitor resolution with proper aspect ratio

My project size is 800x600 and I wanted to provide an option to the user to change their monitor resolution at 800x600 by clicking on button. I have also planned to do it by using buddy api xtra, and already tested it. The problem is, when I am doing this on a PC with panoramic monitor (native resolution 1920x1080), it got stretched. I know it's very natural (as the aspect ratio has changed ) and I can get it in shape by squeeze the width using 'draw.rect'.
I noticed, there are some PCs with advanced display card that don't even get stretched, but shows the 800x600 resolution in proper aspect ratio by keeping the extra space black both sides. And I don't need to write any further codes (squeeze the width using 'draw.rect') to keep it in shape.
The real problem starts here, I can't able to filter the above situations by any logical means. I wanted to write codes only for the PCs that get stretched, but I didn't able to find any support from Director to determine which type of display card has been attached. I need to know whether it will get stretched, or the display card can able to manage the aspect ratio.
Any one have any solution in this matter?
Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any more info.

Hello handler
If you talking about this kind of thing...
https://forums.adobe.com/message/5773207
search for..... _movie.stage.drawRect = _system.deskTopRectList[1] & _movie.stage.rect = _system.deskTopRectList[1]
You don't need an xtra to change the resolutions - but you do have to work a few things - I tend to use flash text because it scales better.

Running fullscreen on monitors with different aspect ratios

I am trying to run a program in fullscreen on a projector. It works fine on my computer, but the background image appears stretched when I run it on a projector with a different aspect ratio. How can I run it as to prevent this?
This is how the code looks:
@Override
     public void start(Stage primaryStage)
          this.PrimaryStage = primaryStage;
          this.PrimaryStage.setFullScreen(true);
          ......which runs with this CSS file:
#background{
    -fx-background-image: url("background-full.png");
    -fx-background-repeat: stretch;
    -fx-background-position: center center;
    -fx-background-size: auto 100%;
    -fx-background-color: black;
}

Don't stretch the repeat
-fx-background-repeat: no-repeat;
AND
-fx-background-size: cover;
Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the smallest size such that both its width and its height can completely cover the background positioning area.
Or
-fx-background-size: contain;
Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the largest size such that both its width and its height can fit inside the background positioning area.
Contain will provide a kind of letter box effect like watching an old 4:3 tv show a widescreen 16:9 TV.
Cover will fill the screen with the image bug clip some of the image if the screen and image aspect ratios don't match.

Multiclip with different aspect ratio

I'm noticing that when I try to do a multiclip with a movie format that involves a different aspect ratio than DV I lose the ability to view live multiclip angles. I've tried several formats and it doesn't appear to be codec related. If the aspect ratio of the sequence is 4:3 or 16:9(natively, not anamorphically), the options from the RT menu disappear including the "Multiclip playback" option, and even without putting it into a sequence it won't play back in the Viewer.
I'm making offline JPEG versions of some HD footage which is 16:9, and I guess I can just make anamorphic versions to work with, but that seems highly unnecessary. Am I reading this problem correctly and if so is there any reason for it or is it a bug?

I'm multiclipping 4 angles, they're photo jpeg movies as made by Compressor's JPEG 75 NTSC setting but resized to 640x360 with square pixels. The material is located on an external firewire drive. From the same source I'm still able to play 6 or 7 standard-def NTSC DV files as multiclip angles just fine.

How do I get my Macbook Pro 15" to run dual monitor setup with Dual Link DVI outputs

I own have two 27" 2560x1440 WQHD LED IPS Computer monitors and have been trying to get them to work with my macbook pro 15" w retina for over a month now. I have purchased multiple products and nothing has worked. The big problem is that the only input that the monitors have is a Dual Link DVI input. The closest that i have gotten to getting them to work was this morning when I bought 2 Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI Adapters for $99 a peice. Below is a link
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter?afid=p219%7CGOUS&cid=AOS-US-KWG-PLA
Problem is that when I hook them up, I still only get a picture on one of the screens. Also, it requires you to plug into a mini Display port and USB port which takes up all of the space for me to run any othe peripherals. Though it has a built in USB port, when I plug my apple keybaord into it, I get an saying "USB Device Needs power, connect "keyboard Hub" to power or usb port on this mac"
I have looked everywhere for a docking station that would satisfy my needs, however, it does not exist. I use my macbook as my main office computer and take it home with me every night. I switched from the lenovo thinkpad to the macbook and have been satsified with my decision except for the fact that i cannot connect my monitors to it.
Please help!

Yes, that would work, however it would cost me $2000 for the monitors.

Printing with different aspect ratio (or, How not to crop when print?)

Hi all,
I'm trying to print 3:2 aspect ratio pictures on 8 1/2 X 11 (US Letter page).
Obviously, it's not the same aspect ratio, so normally fitting such 3:2 image in, -say- photoshop would require me to either CROP the picture or have white BORDERS around it, on either side.
Now, printing in iPhoto will only offer croping, which is definetly not what I want. I can and will live with 2 white bars on my picture; I do own cutting table just for that. But I'm not used to iPhoto.
Quickly, in Aperture I can print as I want it, 2 white bars, whole picture fitting IN the paper (there's also a mode called 'Fill Page'; which is exactly and only what iPhoto is doing).
*The question:*
Am I missing something out on how to print while fitting the whole image on paper (also called 'Fit Entire Image' in Aperture), while adding white paper bars?
Also, I readed this thread, mostly about it:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1417869
I knew the maths part.
So what I'm doing as a long workaroung (see below for shorter workaround):
I calculate using the custom Print size (see this screenshot, from user Old Toad, which is exactly what I'm telling about: http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/iP7customprint.png ) manually, so I get as Paper Size : US Letter and as Print size: Custom with these custom settings:
Width: 11.00 in
Height: 7.30 in
It's all fine, the print was perfect. But I don't feel like messing each time with these numbers only to print one page.
Quicker solution: import into Aperture (and even there, if you are using RAW in iPhoto, the imported in Aperture is the JPEG based off the RAW ((apparently Aperture cannot understand iPhoto's way of working with RAW, but this is another topic)) ).
Thanks! Sorry, it was quite long for nothing, I'm just really missing the 'Fit entire image' on iPhoto... (that is, if it's non-existing, not if I only just didn't found it yet..)

Numbers:
Camera resolution:
roughly 3008X2000 (Nikon D50)
Paper printed on: good old fasioned 8 1/2 X 11 US Letter sized
Ratio of picture: roughly 1.5 (one size is 1.5 time the other)
Ratio of paper: around 1.29 (one size is 1.29 time the other)
The picture overflows in lenght of the paper (iPhoto take the picture's width and places it 8.5 in wide, so technically the paper size should be 12.75 to perfectly fit the ratio. But I only have 8 1/2 X 11 and I do love to cut paper.)

Dual monitor setup with Docking station and W500 on windows 8

Hi there
I have a w500 with ATI Radeon 3650
Trying hard to have it set up with windows 8 and two monitors with my docking station. It worked with XP, Vista, W7...but no go now.
Any solutions out there? I don't care about catalyst control center, or which drivers I have to use, just give me back my two monitors connected to a docking station

I have the same W500 setup and have had no luck finding Windows 8 drivers on Lenovo's site or AMD's. I have a support ticket in to Lenovo to see what they come up with. I have two flat panel monitors that I need to work. According to MS, Catalyst Control Center has compatibility issues with Win8. It was easy to set up both monitors under Win7 with CCC. I have not been able to set them up using Windows display setting in Control Panel. Does anyone out there know of an app that I can use to replace CCC and run two monitors?

Power-down dual monitor setup with one button?

Wondering if it is at all possible to hook up the monitors so I only have to switch off one monitor to switch them both off?
As well designed as Mac products generally are, placing the soft touch buttons on the side of the monitor is useless in a dual setup.
Cheers in advance.

I don't do it in hardware; I use the freeware SleepDisplay. I invoke it through Spotlight:
spotlight shortcut"sle"Cmd-Return does it in 2 seconds

In Dual Monitor setup, with Thunderbird not in main monitor, the some dialogs always shows in other monitor

I have a three monitor set up. I have Thunderbird running in the right monitor. My main monitor is the middle one. Dialogs, such as Spell check, Activity Monitor always show up in the main window (not the one with Thunderbird) in the upper left hand corner.
It happens on Windows Vista and Windows 7 Professional.
I have Thunderbird version 24.3.0

Some dialogs when moved, stay moved. Others do not. The ones that frustrate me are those that are Centered and therefore show up split across my two monitors.

Tracks with different aspect ratios

I have to make a DVD with several tracks on it.
Most are 4:3, one is 16:9.
The menu is currently 4:3, the tracks are set to the appropriate ratios, but in Preferences, how do I set the ratio in the General, Encoding, and Simulator tabs?
(Or am I just going to have to pick one ratio or the other?)

You need to select a track and in the inspector window set the display mode to match what that track is and do that for each track. In the simulator it just shows you how it'll play on a particular TV. Change the display mode here to see what each track will look like on a 4x3 tv and on a 16x9 tv. As far as your menu goes, that is up to you to decide whether it's 4x3 or 16x9. But you set that display mode in the inspector window as well. You can mix and match the display modes on a DVD. And as long as the TV and DVD player are setup correctly it'll play exactly how you see it in the simulator.

Does LR handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?
