Edit on second monitor

Hi all
How can I click edit in main iPhoto window, and open photo up on a second monitor for editing,
At the moment I am dragging the photo across.

There is no way to do this. If you click 'Edit in Main Window' then it will edit in the Main Window.

Lightroom 5.4 jumps to second monitor when attempting to edit an image in Photoshop CS 6.

Hello,
I have a brand-new HP z620 with an Nvidia Quadro K 4000 display adapter and apparently a software and/or hardware conflict.
I am experiencing an issue with Lightroom 5.4 window not working correctly with my second, not primary, monitor. When Lightroom is working on the second monitor and I need to edit an image in Photoshop cs6, I want Lightroom stay where it is and Photoshop to open on my primary monitor. And this has worked well for me on my previous system which was also a Windows 7 64-bit machine with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 570.
When I click the Lightroom option to "edit in Photoshop CS 6” The Lightroom window will move itself to the primary monitor for no apparent reason. This is the problem I am seeking to remedy.
No other external editing programs opened through LR behaves this way, such as NIK or OnOne Perfect Photo Suite, and I really need LR to stay on the second monitor on the extended desktop.
I’ve tried every monitor cabling setup I could think of to try and even unplugging the primary to make windows identify it as the 2 monitor in the screen resolution settings, but that does nothing for me. My new workstation is running the same OS version and a K4000. Monitors are currently connected to the display ports via dp to dvi adapters. I’ve already tried moving the connections around and plugging one into dvi, there doesn’t seem to be a setting I can change within windows or adobe to change this behavior.”
On a related note, I have similar instability in software made by X-rite that supports the use of a colorimeter allowing me to build profiles for monitors and evaluate colors precisely. During the profiling process I place the colorimeter in the designated place on the secondary monitor and direct the application to begin showing the colorimeter different colors on that monitor. At this point the colors jump to the primary monitor while the rest of the interface along with the colorimeter is a secondary monitor. I have a workaround that I'm using for this particular problem but I am fairly sure that the issue that causes the problem with Lightroom is also the source of my trouble here and I need to eliminate it.
thanks for your time,

Can photos be viewed on a second monitor while being edited?

I have the use of a second monitor (better screen resolution) when using my laptop to edit photos. Is it possible (in PSE 9) to use the second monitor to view the photo as I edit, but keep the editing tools on the laptop monitor. This would maximise the size of the image that can be viewed. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, 99jon.
I can set up the second monitor either as a copy of the laptop monitor (not ideal) or as an extension of my laptop monitor. This being so, how can I get the image across to the external monitor? Can it be "dragged and dropped" or is there some other way?

Adding second monitor to HP Beats Special Edition 23-n010xt All-in-One with HDMI Cable

Trying to add a second monitor to all-in-one using HDMI cable. All-in-one is HP Beats Special 23-n010xt, second monitor is Samsung SyncMaster S24B300, Op Sys is Windows 8.1. Both are connected with HDMI cable, but Windows is not detecting second monitor. Have also tried a new cable, no success. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Here are the specs for your HP Beats Special Edition 23-n010xt All-in-One CTO Desktop Computer. Based on the specs, this model doesn't have a video output of any kind. The HDMI port on the side is strictly an INPUT.
The HDMI input allows you to use your computer screen with a game console or video player. To connect your computer to an external display, you will need to purchase a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or many other adapters on the market.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Connect a g5imac to a g4 powerbook as a second monitor

Is this possible?
I want to use the laptop as a bigger screen to aid in editing, is it possible?
I have a powermac g5imac with 2 gig ram in.
Thanks in advance.

Andy simply answered your very specific question. Now, if you want to hook up a second monitor (not the laptop as you first asked) to your iMac then you may get a few longer answers. Like, Maybe.
If you are editing DV then you should be able to connect your DV cam or deck via FW then connect a monitor to your camera or deck. However, this will just give you a playback monitor, you will not be able to extend your desktop to this monitor. With an iMac I think that is impossible to do because of the lack of additional video (DVI or VGA) outputs.
Long enough?

On a Mac with two monitors, how do I get a new FF window to open on the second monitor? I can do this on a Windows XP box easily enough but on a Mac FF won't remember the position of a new window. Please help!

I proof websites for a living and workflow is everything. On my 26" main monitor I have FF running the job tracking web site. In this site, there are links to the sites I need to proof. I would like to be able to right click on a URL and select 'open in new window' and have that window open up on my second monitor.

Here's some more info about the router settings:
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
You should be able to get into the setup of your router by typing the IP address into your browser.
Depending on your router security setup, you might need the MAC address of your iPad, to allow access to your network, if the so called MAC filtering is active.
You can also check the name of your home network if your click on the AirPort icon on your desktop of your MacBook.

[SOLVED] Pointer on second monitor distorted after XOrg 1.9 upgrade

I updated to XOrg1.9 and my mouse pointer becomes distorted into a garbled rectangle of noise whenever I move to the second monitor. It's fine on the first. Using Catalyst drivers.
I can still use it, but its a giant garbled blob... anyone else experiencing this?
It looks fine on the first monitor.
EDIT: I replace my ATI card with an Nvidia one and used the nvidia-beta drivers. Mouse pointer looks fabulous on second monitor now. Only cost me $400 to fix my goddamn mouse pointer!

CS4 - Is there a way to adjust gamma for second monitor or send to overlay?

One thing that is evident when I edit in Premiere CS4 using the AVCHD 1080i 60 template is that the preview in the second monitor, which in my case is my TV set connected using a DVI to HDMI cable, is that the output is too dark compared to what it should be. Darker areas of the frame sometimes even get crushed into black when the same footage, when played directly from the camcorder, or even burned to blu-ray and played, is noticeably brighter and at the right black levels.
This doesn't happen when editing in Vegas Pro 8, or when the untouched footage is played through other video player, including Windows 7 Media Center.
A workaround for this problem can be to go to the graphics card control panel, in my case ATI Catalyst, and adjust the gamma for the second monitor, with the problem being that when you're done editing in Premiere you have to go back to the normal gamma. At one point I had setup two profiles in Catalyst with shortcuts and it worked well, but one day Catalyst simply lost the profiles and noticing how buggy it was I wasn't going to keep creating profiles so that Catalyst would delete them.
So my question is, since it's not in the preferences, is there some settings file or registry address that I can tweak to make Premiere display a brighter gamma of my choice?
And this may be a dead end, but is there a way to send the output of the second monitor to the overlay so that it can take advantage of the graphic's card video capabilities and display video smoothly? It's nice to have a preview of the timeline, but it's rather annoying if I have to go to the Catalyst control panel and adjust gamma before editing and after editing and that motion is jerky and not interlaced when I'm editing interlaced content.

You need the VESA mount option. That way your minimum angle would be completely vertical and you could open it to a negative 10 degrees.
Hope this helps.

HP envy won't recognize second monitor

I just purchaes an HP Envy 17t-j100 select edition notebook. I am trying to hook up a second monitor. The monitor is not the issue it works fine with the other laptops in the office however when i plug it into this one it wont recognize it and the screen on the second monitor just says cable not connected. I have a cord that is HDMI to plug into the computer and a VGA on the other side to plug into the monitor.

Hi,
Do you have a converter in between ? From HDMI (digital) to VGA (analog) you need a converter. Some "cord" may have builtin converter but some may not. Please check and get a right converter.
Regards.

[Solved] no signal w/ second monitor and dual screen using nouveau, i3

Hi!
I just brought my old screen to my room and try to make it work. It works when the other one is not connected, so no hardware problems. The result is that I can go to the right and do stuff and move the window to my working screen, but the monitor stays black and says "no signal". I tried a long time with nouveau but without success. I was not able to make the graphic card work with the propretary driver from the website and I don't want to downgrade the xorg-server to 1.12 to install nvidia-96xx...

Hi!
Thanks for pointing out the repo..I did yaourt -Ss nvidia from the beginning and I didn't pay attention to the nvidia package. Sometimes archlinux is more user-friendly than one expects...
So now my second monitor works. :-)
Moral of the story:
If you want to use the NVIDIA driver, read
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia
And if it doesn't work, read
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia
again, because maybe you missed something...
Best,
Marc

Using Laptop screen as second monitor?

Hey gusy,
I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. With the Mac Pro I have just the one screen - used to have two, but now just the one as I rarely need it. However, for a job I'm doing at the moment, it would be handy to have the use of two screens. Do you know if it's possible to hook both computers up and use the LapTop screen as a second monitor for my Mac Pro?

James Arter1 wrote: ... older Mac Pro's, so no Thunderbolt :-(
Then it seems you can't use your LapTop as a second monitor for Mac Pro.
An external monitor would seem to be the least cost path to more display.

MBPR as Second Monitor?

I know its possible to use the iMac as a second monitor through target display mode....however is it possible to use my 2012 MBPR as the second monitor for my iMac? I'm trying to edit a video and could use the extra screen real estate.

Yes, but not in a normal way.
You cannot use a MacBook Pro as an external monitor in the same way as a normal external monitor, nor by Target Display Mode.
If you are desperate, you can install a utility like ScreenRecycler or AirDisplay (the version for Mac, not iPad) that makes a Mac into an external monitor using your local network. But this is much slower than a normal monitor connection. It may not be suitable for situations that require fast refresh.

Low Resolution on Second Monitor

I have a dual-monitor setup, running on a NVIDIA GTX 970 graphics card using the proprietary driver. The second monitor is only allowing me to set the resolution to 800x600, however it should support 1920x1080. I just removed Windows and installed Arch, but before while using Windows both monitors were correctly set to 1920x1080. I did some searching online, but it seemed as though most of the answers were that there was a bad cable. However, since this exact setup works fine in Windows, the cable should not be the issue.
Looking at the logs, the error that stands out is:
[ 120.965] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The EDID read for display device DFP-4 is invalid:
[ 120.965] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): - The EDID has a bad checksum. The "IgnoreEDIDChecksum" X

Is there any way to fix this issue, besides using the recommended "IgnoreEDIDChecksum" configuration? Setting that option does fix the issue, but the warning about damaging the hardware worries me. Thanks for any help!
