Photoshop Second Monitor support

Question

Photoshop need add a 'Second Monitor Preview' native feature to Photoshop. It is crazy in 2025 we still don't have this feature. I know you can open a second window for a file then drag it to a second monior but this is a a pain when you are working with lots of different files.

When I am working on my photography in Lightroom (which does nativly support a second monitor). I often open the file into photoshop to make some more extensive edits which need more than LRC. As Photoshop doesn't have native second monior support it means that for each file I open I have to open a new window then drag it to the second monitor. When the file is closed I have to close both windows to get back to LRC. This is a poor workflow for apps for professional creative artists.

Please add the feature!!

I don't understand. You can drag any image over on the second screen, you don't need to open a second window. It will even use the correct monitor profile for the other monitor.

Or you can drag the entire application over.

I have a single monitor setup here, so can't test, but once an image has been closed on the other monitor, subsequent images should also open there. Until you drag back and close. This is actually an operating system function, not a Photoshop function.
