P: Allow for a second monitor

*charlesmajerus and now it's 2021. Completely agree that we need this feature. The other great use for dual monitors in Lightroom Classic is having one monitor in the vertical (portrait) orientation and one monitor in the horizontal (landscape) orientation. That way either orientation of photo can be viewed full screen at max size, rather than only being able to look at much reduced versions of all your vertical orientation photos. In LR Classic my photo review workflow involved setting both screens to full size and flipping through, then a quick turn of the eyeballs from one monitor to the other when going from a horizontal oriented photo to a vertical oriented photo is all that was needed to review and assess any photo at large detail. Lets get this functionality in the new cloud version of Lightroom.

I've bit the bullet and switched my workflow and my entire catalog to Lightroom (cloud version). I am using a workflow that back syncs the entire catalog to LR Classic so that I can continue to use the features that are only available in classic, the most important one being dual monitor support. I'm finding however that Lightroom Classic doesnt play nicely with the Album (formerly Collection) structure that is used in Lightroom cloud. The last feature in LR Classic that I really need in the new LR is dual monitor support. Please make this happen ASAP so that I can ditch Lightroom Classic and finally have a fully functional cloud workflow.

To anyone else reading this who wants dual monitor support in Lightroom, make sure you upvote the feature request at the top of the page. I imagine more than 62 people (at time of writing) think the ability to use lightroom on two monitors is an important feature

Hi there,

I would like to use dual monitors in Lightroom CC in the same way I could do with Classic.
Is this possible?

If not please add this as a feature.

thanks,
John Berry

Been trying to find a version of LR that handled HEIC.
I have a full subscription to the Adobe suite but choosing which version was difficult.
When I finally updated to Lightroom 4.1 from the web (CC app did not have the latest) I cannot find a way of using second monotor.
Have looked in the Window menu and no second window option.
????

I can't find second monitor Lightroom cc 4.0

Dual monitor functionality was a standard feature from the inception Lightroom Classic if I remember correctly.  I am frustrated that Adobe, for whatever reason, still does not include it in the CC version.  If this continues, it will be a deal-breaker for me.  I like having the extra real estate of my second monitor since I use a MacBook Pro.

Why have you not added this simple feature Adobe???

This feature request dates back from 2017, now we are 2020...

Coming from LR Classic, I've come to appreciate the possibility of editing my pictures on two monitors enabling me to work simultaneously on two levels of details. So I found it quite disappointing to see this feature gone in LR CC.

I've got serious difficulties to understand why this, to be fair, quite basic funtionality has not been ported right from the beginning. Here we are, three years later, and still no second monitor support. Adobe, I'm sure you do care about your customers' user experience, so please, integrate the second monitor support into Lightroom CC.
