Dual monitor setup color problem in windows.

Hello.
I've CS5 Standard running on Windows7 64 laptop with additinal monitor.
Both displays are profiled with ColorMunki Photo spectrophotometer.
The problem is concerned with the way of displaying images when project is dragged between monitors. On primary monitor (notebook display) image look ok, but it changes colors when dragged to the other display.
This problem also shows in InDesign, while Photoshop works perfectly.
To my eye it looks, that Illustrator uses the same display profile (connected to the system primary display) and uses it for both available screens.
Is it known problem? Is there any solution?
Regards

Well, so it's the real shame...
If I cannot force application to use profile of "serious" monitor to display colors means that I have to swap system's main monitor to the second one.
And it means real mess, whenever I take my laptop without second display...

  • Maximising Safari on a dual-monitor setup (GUI behaviour in Window XP Pro)

    When I maximise Safari on the 2nd monitor of my two-monitor setup, it disappears off-screen (but its icon still remains in the XP taskbar) and I am unable to bring it back into the viewable area. Consequently, I have to close Safari and reopen it to continue.
    When I maximise Safari on the 1st monitor it fills the screen as I'd expect.
    Windows XP Pro

    Confirmed on another Dell D610/Windows XP dual-monitor setup.
    However, when I maximise safari on the secondary monitor it still appears on the task bar, enabling me to right-click and Restore the window (whereupon it reappears).

  • I have a dual monitor setup.  When I paste develop settings from one image to another, Lightroom switches the active window.

    Strange problem.  Lightroom 5.5.  Windows 8.1. Dual monitor setup.
    I'm processing a large batch of photos.  I have Monitor #1 set as my main develop window, with Monitor #2 set only to display a larger version of the image I'm working with. If I copy the develop settings off of one image and try to paste them onto another image, Lightroom will switch from Monitor #1 to Monitor #2 as the main develop window, and will not display anything on Monitor #1.
    If I then try to paste develop settings onto another image on Monitor #2, LR will then display a larger version of the image I'm working with on Monitor #1.
    To work the way I want to, I have to continually drag my develop window back to Monitor #1 every time I try to paste develop settings onto a new image. How can I make this stop?

    I just tried what I think you’re saying you’re doing and I don’t have the problem with LR 5.5 on Windows 7 SP 2.
    Does the same thing happen whether you use the key shortcuts vs the Settings / Copy/Paste options on the menu?
    I ask this because if you’re using the keyboard shortcuts, maybe you have some display-manager program that has bound itself to the Ctrl-Shift-V (paste settings) to the function of move-to-other-monitor which would do at least part of what you describe.
    You can also test this theory by doing a Ctrl-Shift-V with an application other than LR as the active window and see if it moves.  I suppose Ctrl-Shift-C might also play into it so try both of these hot-key combinations with a program that isn’t LR.
    If none of this sheds any light on the situation, then give a more detailed description of the low-level functions you’re doing to accomplish the copy-paste of settings, so someone else could replicate the steps exactly.
    Specific detailed steps, like:
    left-click on source photo’s thumbnail in the filmstrip
    press Ctrl-Shift-C to copy the settings
    click Check-None
    enable the white-balance and calibration checkboxes
    click Ok
    left-click on destination photo's thumbnail in the filmstrip
    click on Settings / Paste Settings in LR’s menus to paste the settings to the selected photo

  • Indesign CS3 Crashes Randomly on Windows x64, Dual Monitor Setup

    My coworker and I just had our computers upgraded Windows XP 64-bt on the following computer setup:
    Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz CPU
    8GB DDR3 RAM
    Gigabyte GA-EX58 Intel X58 Motherboard
    1TB Seagate ES.2 7200rpm 32MB Cache SATAII Hard  Drive
    We're running CS3. Indesign keeps crashing on her machine, randomly from what we can tell. It runs fine on my machine.
    We are running Indesign in compatibility mode for Windows XP on both machings (the crashing was much worse before we turned it on).
    The only difference between my computer and the workstation where Indesign CS3 crashes is she has a dual monitor setup.
    Any thoughts on what might be causing it?

    Thanks for the heads up.We're actually kinda banking on Windows 7 to be a bit more stable and switch to that, but it's a long few months when your program crashes every few minutes.
    I just realized that we don't have the latest update (5.0.4) on her machine, we've downloaded it and are hoping that will help to at least reduce the crashing...

  • Monitor Profile incorrect on Dual Monitor Setup

    Hello,
    I've searched the forums and I can't find an answer to my problem.  I've read about dual monitor setups in Windows and how to set the defaults and whatnot, but it doesn't seem to fix my problem.
    I am running on an nVidia GeForce 8600M GT, Windows 7 x64, Photoshop CS4 x64.  I calibrated my main display (Dell Vostro 1700) as well as the attached monitor (ASUS VK246H) using Datacolor Spyder3Elite.  Both monitor profiles seem to load just fine.  I've also went into Windows' color manager and set the system defaults for each monitor respectively.  The problem I'm having is that if I were to load Photoshop on the 2nd monitor, Photoshop only uses the main display's color profile (Vostro 1700) and not the ASUS VK246H profile.  What could be going wrong?
    Just to clarify, what I mean by "loading PS on the 2nd monitor" is that when I execute Photoshop.exe, the splash screen and main window shows up on the 2nd monitor, not the main monitor (which is what I want).

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

    What if the image is in between two monitors?
    The piece on each display is corrected for the display it is on.
    Is it supposed to work that way?  Because it doesn't.  Not with Photoshop CS5 x64 at least.
    As a test I intentionally misconfigured the profile for my Monitor #1 (left) so that it's REALLY OBVIOUS which profile is being used.  When set this way, on Monitor #1 red colors will appear pale orange.
    An open document, floating in a window:
    If COMPLETELY displayed on Monitor #1, Photoshop will use the Monitor #1 profile.
    If even 1 pixel of the edge of the image is moved onto Monitor #2, it will use the Monitor #2 profile on the entire image.

  • 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 .

  • GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC dual monitor/second DVI problem

    Hello,
    I am experiencing a problem with my new dual monitor setup.
    A few days after I installed the new monitor (DELL U2312HM), the DVI with the old monitor (LG M208WA) stopped from working.
    The old monitor went in power saving mode, and I couldn't wake it up.
    After a few days working with only 1 monitor, without taking any further actions such as drivers re-installation etc, the pc boots and the monitor wakes up again!
    Today, stopped from working again, after 1 month of normal dual monitor operation.
    The monitors are connected to the following DVI Ports (starting to count from left to right, as we face the ports with the PCI-E interface being in the left):
       DELL @ DVI#1 (set as primary)
       LG @ DVI#2
    So, I tried the following:
    1. Switched the monitors to the other DVI (DELL @ DVI#2, LG @ DVI#1).
       Result: LG monitor works fine, DELL monitor went power saving.
       (Meaning that the monitor in DVI#2 is still in power saving mode)
    2. Re-installed (in clean mode) the nVidia drivers
       Result: no change
    3. Switched the DVI cables
       Result: no change
    4. Searched the forum for similar case:
       Result: I couldn't find something similar to my problem...
    Is there a test/diagnostic that I can run on the DVI ports to see if there is a hardware issue with my VGA card (if this is the problem)?
    Is there something else I should try?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dimitris

    Is your problem completely gone?
    I have the lightning version, same thing happened to me. I will try the last thing that fixed your problem - but if it does not solve or problems start again, I guess the best option is to get a replacement RMA.
    This is the second time the 2nd DVI stopped and then started again (with the method mentioned).
    After the last time it started working, everything is fine.
    While having the problem, I tried to plug in only 1 monitor in that DVI and boot the pc, the boot screen appeared fine, but when entering windows it went power saving.
    So i guess it is not an issue of RMA.
    I guess Windows or the nVidia drivers under some unknown (to me) circumstances are causing this.
    Please post here if my solution worked for you too.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-2250ed and dual monitor setup

    Good evening,
    Currently I own a HP Pavilion dv7-2250ed notebook using a dual monitor setup (notebook display + extra monitor)
    I wondered if it would be possible to hook 2 monitors to this laptop? (notebook display + extra monitor + extra monitor)
    If this causes the problem, the notebook display isn't requered.
    Also, if not, is there a dockingstation for this brand which supports the above?
    Kind Regards,
    Cor van Noorloos

    I have attempted to connect one monitor via HDMI and the other one via the VGA interface.
    Using Windows 7 OS and "default configurations" (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution) it is possible to use both external monitors as desktop. However the laptop screen will go blank. So at any time it appears to be possible to have an extended desktop with only two screens.
    - Does HP have any drivers/solutions that make it possible to extend the desktop from "Mobile PC" display to two additional desktops?
    - Has anyone tried third party software  (e.g.. UltraMon)?
    - Is there a technical restriction (e.g.. Videocard capability)?
    - How about using a Linux OS (e.g.. Ubuntu)?
    - What external Hardware exists that would enable me to extend my desktop to three or more monitors simultaneously?
    Many thanks in advance.
    It's the graphics card and the number of physical connections available.  You might have 3 connections (notebook display being one) but the graphics card likely does not support more than 2 monitors.  Intel graphics only support 2, however you may be able to find some AMD chips that will support more however that would be a major upgrade.

  • Dual monitor screen refresh problem

    We have a GUI application that runs on a dual monitor setup and are experiencing strange behaviour. The application is started on one monitor (the left hand one), but at times a window which has been dragged to the right hand monitor stops getting screen updates (e.g. typing show nothing on screen, but the characters are in fact in the field). If a window is positioned so that it overlaps both screens and the problem occurs, what we observe is the portion of the window on the left monitor (where the application was started) is redrawn successfully, but the portion of the window on the right hand monitor is not drawn at all - half the window shows correct detail, half the window is a grey rectangle.
    This issue is not experienced when we run the application on a single monitor. The problem is intermittent, and is not due to idle time in the application (it can occur which an operator is working with the GUI).
    We are running 1.5.0 update 5.

    We noticed the same problem.
    We've got JSE 1.5.0_06 and a swing GUI. For me it looks like this: Only the bigger part of the application is refreshed. So if the application starts at the secondary monitor and is dragged so that a small part of the GUI is displayed on the primary monitor only the bigger part of the GUI (so that one on the secondary monitor) gets refreshed. So scrolling leads to graphic mistakes in the smaller GUI part.
    If the main part of the application runs on the primary monitor and only a small part is on the secondary one we observe the same problem: Only the part on the primary monitor gets refreshed.
    We also observed this grey rectangle paulch already mentioned.
    Minimizing and refitting forces the repainting so then everything is fine.
    Is was trying to find something in the bug database but I wasn't successful although I found several descriptions like this in this forum.
    Can anybody present some work-around for this?
    Thanks

  • Short Brush Stroke Lag CS6 in Dual Monitor Setup

    When I use a brush or any of the clone\healing tools the brush start lagging when I do you short and quick strokes.
    Longer and continuous strokes don't have any lagging going on.
    I have reinstalled the driver and tried a few different versions as well but the issue persists. I also tried different settings for the Graphics Processor in preferences but no change.
    I am on an Intuos5 L and before that I had the Intuos 3 A4 and I had the problems with that tablet as well.
    I am on i5 iMac Quad-Core 2.5ghz, 32gb ram Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB - Mac OS X 10.7.5
    Update:
    After a few testing I realized this lagging appears to happen only when I am on Dual monitor setup.
    My main monitor is an Eizo CG222W I have Photoshop setup whereby all my tools and panels are on my iMac and the main window with the image is on my Eizo.
    When I only use my Eizo with tools and panels then the lagging disappears.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks

    I guess I was thinking that if the Histogram Panel requires more processing so as to fill it out, then you could expect its display to take more computer time.
    For what it's worth, I did some testing and with a sufficiently large brush I can certainly get ahead of Photoshop - that's pretty well known.  I couldn't see for myself where having the Histogram Panel open made any difference, though.

  • Captivate and Dual Monitor Setups

    I am running a dual monitor setup and it seems captivate does
    not play too well in this environment. When i record a project, i
    select the window that i want to record which is our software
    product that is open in full screen. Resolution on the monitor is
    1024x768. Id i click the button for Snap to fit, it does not snap
    around the program, it captures some of the second monitor and the
    Recording size shows 1032x746. I am unable to record a project in
    1024x768. Anyone else have this issue??

    I have dual monitors and capture on it frequently. I'm not
    sure I've had
    the problem you describe, but I almost always just set the
    size manually
    (which maybe I do because I had problems with the auto
    settings).
    So I select Custom Size the resize the red border to my
    monitor settings...

  • I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

    I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all?  I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
    I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
    When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one.  I did not think there could be a difference.
    Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
    How to proceed??? 
    I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI.  Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
    Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
    As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870.  That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    The Hatter,
    I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can.  From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance.  The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs.  Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
    You said I have the 4000 for CUDA.  I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it. 
    A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000.  Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected?  I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
    Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
    So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
    I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are.  I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4.  Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

  • Dual monitor setup - need laptop on the left

    Hi All
    I'm running a dual monitor setup - specifically a HP G72 laptop and a widescreen monitor. I use the monitor as the default and sometimes I want to use the Laptop as a secondary screen for watching TV etc. My desktop is Enlightenment, I just changed to it from Gnome. My issue is that I want the laptop to be on the left of the monitor - that's how it is physically positioned - but when I switch the Laptop screen on all my applications shift over to the laptop screen. I've written 2 scripts, attached to hotkeys, one to turn the laptop off and the other to turn the laptop on. The script to turn the laptop on is as follows:
    xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1600x900 --pos 1600x0 --rotate normal
    --output VGA1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --left-of LVDS1
    This works fine, applications stay where they should be, except that the physical position is incorrect; VGA1 should be to the right of LVDS1 like this:
    xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1600x900 --pos 1600x0 --rotate normal
    --output VGA1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --right-of LVDS1
    However, when I use the second script all of the applications shift to the laptop but at least the physical position is correct. The issue appears to be something to do with laptops, almost as though when it's a laptop the default monitor is forced to be on the left. Has anybody got any suggestions how to get around this issue?
    Thanks
    Richard

    This is due to your window manager treating the two monitors as a larger 'desktop' area - that combined with your specification of the pos=0x0 you are telling it to do this.
    If you have only the VGA output on, the top left corner of the VGA monitor is 0x0.  If you open a window, and it is placed 10 pixels in and down from the top left, it is at coordinates 10x10 in the x session.  Then you turn on the laptop monitor and specify that the top left corner of the laptop monitor should now bo considered 0x0 - but nothing is done to move the windows, so the window with coordinates 10x10 is now near the top left of the laptop monitor.
    I see 3 possible ways of acheiving what you want:
    1) swap the "pos" parameters in your xrandr commands so that the monitor on the left is always at 0x0 and the one on the right is always at 1920x0 (or whatever).  This will leave a large area of available X desktop that is not visible - I don't know how your window manager will treat this.  It might try to map windows on the laptop screen space even though that screen is not on.  I know openbox is easy to configure where it tries to place windows.
    2) Keep the VGA monitor always at 0x0, but place the laptop monitor at a negative offset when you want it on.  I don't actually know if X allows negative coordinates like that, but it's worth a shot.
    3) Configure your window manager, or use a different window manager, so that it is aware of the two screens and treats them reasonably (e.g. moves windows when the desktop area is changed).

    Hello,
    I had the same problem with a nVidia GT120 card (2009 Mac Pro standard). OSX wouldn't show the gray screen on the 3090, even when it was connected alone (to the DVI port). Also, the login screen would always revert to the secondary display (connected thru the mini display port to DVI adapter).
    After login, all was well.
    Now I've solved the problem with an nVidia GTX 285 card. The 3090 is connected to the n.1 DVI port and the secondary display (a 1600x1200 Eizo L997) to the n.2 DVI port, and the Mac Pro boots correctly on the 3090 (gray screen and everything, at full 2560x1600 resolution).
    Note that the first time I booted up the Mac after replacing the GT120 with the GTX 285 I had the same problem, and solved it by disconnecting the secondary display and then rebooting with the 3090 alone. Now everything works as it should.
    Dont't know if there is a bug somewhere (EFI, maybe) of if the GT120 and your ATI are simply unable to work at full resolution before OSX desktop loading.

  • 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?
