Open image on 2nd monitor

In CS4 can't figure out how to open an image on 2nd monitor. Have to go under my workspace on the pallet's monitor and drag it over.
Any help would be appreciated.

I use my Apple Cinema Display as my primary monitor. I do use the application frame though do not HAVE to. But I then have used all the pallets that I can open and have dragged them onto my laptop. So I can then use the F key to go to full screen on my ACD and still use the tab key to see all the pallets but can keep them on the laptop screen and use anytime during editing. This is the only way I can figure out how to have a full screen image and the tools on the other scree, the laptop.
I then use the F key only to go to a toolbar that may have some options needed. Like changing sponge from saturate to desaturate.
This seems to work the best. I then saved this desktop arrangement as Dual Monitor and can go to Essential or anything else when needed.
Hope that helps...

  • Dual Monitor issue - Open file to 2nd monitor?

    I have a dual monitor setup in Windows 7 and like to work with all the tool panels and PS main window on the left monitor and the photo open full screen on the right. I have tried saving the workspace with the image open full screen on the right monitor, but no matter what I try, everytime I open/re-open a file, it loads on the left monitor behind the tool panels. I then have to press F5 to mnimize some tool panels, then grab and drag the image window to the right screen. Then I have to press the F key to maximize the image window and F5 to restore the tool panels. This is my routine everytime I open a file. There has to be a better way! I have tried things like reseting to the default workspace, moving the PS window and tool panels to the right screen, but it seems the placement of a newly opened document must be hard-coded to open in the main PS window, no matter what the user has setup. 

    Yeah, this is annoying as hell.
    In CS3, if you dragged an image to your second monitor all subsequent images would open up there. I'll leave my snarky, sarcastic comments about the wisdom of this new "feature" for another time. What might end up working you is putting the image on your monitor of choice (along with the app frame and the menu bar) and dragging the tool palettes to the other monitor. That's what I'm doing now and it's taking some getting used to but fortunately, once you drag over the tool box and the layer stack, everything else tool-related seems to open up there OK. The images stay on the other screen (for the most part).
    All things considered, it still sucks... but when you only have one choice, the decision is easy to make.

  • Open Images on second monitor by default

    Though there are already quite a few threads on this issue
    (e.g. here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1648230#1648230; here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/369630?start=60&tstart=0 ; and here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/369928?start=15&tstart=0  );
    the behaviour of Photoshop CS4 to always open images on the main monitor by default still wasn't changed with the 11.0.1-Update.
    So my request is to simply reinvent the old behaviour all PS-Versions from (at least) PS 3.0 to CS3 had:
    open images by default on the monitor THE USER has decided to use as his/her PS-monitor (and not automatically on the System main monitor).

    Has this been fixed on Photoshop CS5?
    I'll be sticking with CS3 until we get back what used to be default...
    (bought CS4 Photoshop upgrade when it came out, went back to using CS3 after a while)

  • Opening images on dual monitors

    In CS3, my images open on one monitor and the workspace on the other. In CS4, this was broken and I wasn't able to use it after paying all that money to upgrade (have to dig down under toolbar and windows to get to image to drag it to the second monitor). I paid more to upgrade to CS5 because the dual monitor problem was supposed to be fixed. However, the first image I open is buried under everythign in the workspace. Once I drag it over to the color-corrected monitor, second and subsequent images open correctly on the second monitor. Is there some trick to getting the first image to open on the correct monitor? I tried with OpenGL turned on and off and have saved several workspaces and nothing seems to work. Yet some people say they have gotten it to work. Any hints, tricks, or magical incantations? Thanks

    I usually set my desktop background to my own astroimages.  What are your extended desktop dimensions?  I'll be happy to post an astroimage for you to use. 
    With Windows 7, if you "Tile" your desktop image, and you have an image of sufficient size, it will not repeat on each monitor, but instead it will span all of them.
    In my case I prefer also to be able to see my desktop icons, which I have arranged along the top and bottom of the monitor on which I open the Photoshop main window.  I posted a snapshot of my entire desktop in this thread:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/2871339?tstart=0#2871339
    By the way, if you'll notice in that other thread, some are claiming the exact feature you're looking for is supposedly fixed in CS5.  I don't know about that, but maybe there really is a way to get it to work in your preferred manner.

  • Logic always opens on 2nd monitor!

    Hi,
    I am using Logic Studio 9.0.1 under SnowLeopard. I have the annoying problem that my Logic always opens on my 2nd monitor, even when I create a new project.
    How can I change this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Check to make sure that your 2nd monitor is not setup as the primary monitor. I have 2 monitors as well and primary is on my left and 2nd on right. Take a look in the system pref to see if thats the case. have you tried swaping the cables on the video card?

  • How to force AMSN to open in 2nd monitor only?

    Hi
    I've been trying to force amsn to only open on my 2nd monitor with no success. Other programs, such as iTunes, Mac MSN messenger all stay on that monitor but amsn always reverts back to primary.
    Does anyone know how to solve this?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you want to save the tabs in multiple windows in the sessionstore.js file when you close Firefox then you have to use the Firefox Exit/Quit menu item or button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button to close all open windows at once.
    Otherwise you only save the tabs in the last closed window and you may have to look for History > Recently Closed Windows or "History > Restore Previous Session" to reopen closed window.

  • 2nd Monitor ICC profile in Acrobat 9

    Hi,
    I have problem with iMac24" dual monitor setup and Acrobat 9 Pro. I can't get the second monitor ICC profile applied to the pdf document when dragged to the the second monitor. Had the same problem with PhotoShop CS4. I spent several day to figure out why the second monitor looks totally over saturated with PS CS4 (looked fine with PS CS3) and yes indeed the solution was to turn OFF OpenGL in PS preferences. Still have the same problem with Acrobat 9 Pro.  When the document is dragged to other monitor the ICC profile of that monitor is not applied. Any idea how to get that working as I can't find the OpenGL setting in Acrobat 9 . I have iMac24" and HP LP2475w as a secondary monitor which is wide gamut monitor which is far too over saturated without proper ICC. Any ideas?

    Jao...
    Does the secondary monitor always assume it will open in the monitor which WinXP defines in settings as '2'?
    The reason I ask, is that if I have the secondary monitor open as "full screen" it opens on the 2nd monitor.
    However, I have a slightly different set up. I have my primary LR space stretched some into the 2nd monitor, so that the right hand panels are on the second screen. This gives me a larger space to view the images on the main screen. When I open the secondary LR space, it is not full screen, but sized to just fit in the rest of the available space on the second monitor....and I usually use this space for the 'grid' of thumbnails.
    My concern is that if the secondary LR space is even slightly larger than the available space on the secondary monitor, it will pop up in the middle of the primary monitor. After much trial and error, I found the sizing solution and it works....
    However, since it seems to open either in #1 or #2 screen, I still have this nagging question....and there is no way I know to query LR to know what ICC profile is being used.
    Thanks...JOHN

  • 2nd monitor ICC profile?

    When using the dual monitor support in LR2, if it is opened in the 2nd monitor, is it aware of the different icc profile for this monitor or does it use the profile of the primary monitor?
    Can you manually change the profile used?
    Can you interrogate LR (main screen and/or dual screen) to see what profile is being used?
    I am using WinXP, but the video card I use looks like two cards and windows has a different default profile for each. Many cards do not do that, which is where being able to manually enter an icc profile would be useful.

  • Launch Apps to 2nd Monitor

    Does anyone know if it's possible to launch an app and have it open on the 2nd monitor (non-primary) of an extended desktop? I know it can be opened and dragged there, but that's a pain. Windows has this functionality, I find it hard to believe OS X doesn't. Any help is appreciated.

    Dennis,
    Thanks for the reply. If by "quit" you mean minimize, then yes it does, but if I actually quite the application and reopen it, it reopens on the primary screen and I have to drag it again to the secondary monitor. At first I thought it might just be the app, but all of them do the same thing (iTunes, Safari, etc.) Is there any special setting that needs to be set in order for it to work?

  • Dual monitors screen management after disconnecting 2nd monitor

    I have a 2nd monitor attached to my iMac and if open an app Window on the 2nd monitor the next time I start the app the Window always defaults to the 2nd monitor (even if the 2nd monitor is turned off). Since I don't always remember that the app was opened on the 2nd monitor I would like a way to force the app to default to the primary monitor so I don't always need to turn on the 2nd monitor to move the Window to the primary monitor.
    I have tried using spaces for this but it does not seem to work.

    Oups.. I got it   Just switched the menu bar, when I shoud have switched displays... Mouse was moving to second monitor from left instead of right... Fixed.

  • 2nd monitor & app problem

    The second screen is an extention of the primary screen and when you switch spaces, both will change to a different space.
    There is a solution, but it requires associating the app with All spaces in System Preferences > Expose & Spaces > Spaces tab > Assign the app to Every Space.  Then as you can spaces that app is present on all spaces. 
    Regards,
    Captfred
    If you don't want the browser in the primary monitor for all spaces, then use two different browsers.  Safari for the primary browser and Firefox for the browser moved to external display.  Then define Firefox in all spaces and Safari to only one.

  • Plugin opening on 2nd monitor

    I have a 2nd monitor hooked up to my Macbook pro. I have the mixer on the 2nd monitor however whenever I open a plugin for the first time it always opens on the laptop screen, even though I open it from the mixer on the second monitor. Once I move the plugin to the 2nd screen it then always opens there. How do I change this behavior so that the plugins default to the second monitor? Thanks.

  • Lightroom 4.2 - Experiencing problems with images viewed on 2nd monitor

    Hi All,
    This problem seems to have started with my updating from 4.1 to 4.2.  I have my second monitor set as Loupe - Normal and Fit.  As I crop an image on my main monitor, the 2nd monitor view does not always change to the cropped view.  If I switch to a different photo and then back to the one I just cropped, the 2nd monitor view will then show the cropped image, but it is almost always blurry.  Sometimes I can click the image in the 2nd monitor view to change to a 1:1 view and it will look sharp, and then click again back to Fit and then it too will be sharp.  Other times I get a message in the 2nd monitor view that says "no image selected" and bouncing back and forth between a different image will correct this.
    This all started off with the majority, but not all cropped images showing as blurred and progressed to what I have described above.  I seriously though I had a focus problem with my camera!
    Is anyone else experinecing this since updating?  Suggestions?
    Below is the suggested information to provide...
    What version of Lightroom? 4.2
    Have you installed the recent updates? Yes, 4.2
    What operating system? Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    What kind(s) of image file(s)? All images are converted to .dng upon import
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? No error messages.
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? I am in the develop module cropping images etc.
    What other software are you running? Silver Efex Pro 2, but I have had that installed in many prior versions of Lightroom
    Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? 32 GB - Yes, I know - overkill... 
    How much free space is on your system (C:) drive? 119 GB of 223 GB of my solid state drive c:\
    Has this ever worked before? Yes
    If so, do you recall any changes you made to Lightroom, such as adding Plug-ins, presets, etc.? No other changes other than updating to 4.2
    Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers, or installing/uninstalling any programs?  No, no other changes.
    Thanks!

  • FF always opens in 2nd monitor

    I have dual monitors and occasionally set my 2nd monitor as the primary when testing software. On reverting back to use my 1st monitor as primary (using display settings) I find FF disregards the changed setting and always opens on the second monitor. Reboot does not resolve the problem. All other apps open in primary.
    Any way to resolve this?

    Maybe it was fixed in newer versions of Firefox? You are using Firefox 3.5.
    If you see that Firefox 3.6 has the same problem, read [https://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/basic+troubleshooting this] and, if you see it's a bug with Firefox, file a bug at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org bugzilla], if it hasn't been filed before.
