All I can say is, that sucks. $199. and I have to dig under my pallets. find the little image, drag it to the picture monitor and then blow it up. That’s not an upgrade.
well you could make the second monitor the primary until it gets fixed. that way you don’t have to dig around under your panels. I guess that make too much sense if all you want to do is complain.
Until this change came up and a couple of folks complained about it on the forum, I would have never imagined that anyone would use a secondary monitor as the main monitor. It just boggles the mind.
It appears that Adobe didn’t conceive such a bizarre practice either when they changed this.
Most users refer to their secondary monitor as "my palette monitor."
I’ll pipe in late. My primary monitor is an LCD and my secondary – where I work on images – is a CRT. So I want my images on the secondary. I hope Adobe addresses this deficiency.
I vote to keep it the way it is. I never liked it when photos would open on the last monitor used. It doesn’t need to be "fixed"……it was broken before, but it’s "fixed" now!
I am using a second monitor, but i can’t open a file without need to press the tab and catch the image and drag to a second monitor, please have a solution or this is a giant adobe bug
FYI, I have discovered that if you select to use the application frame, images will open on your second monitor. You can then minimize the app frame and images will continue to open on the second monitor.
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.
