P: Enable the use of more than 2 monitors

when Lightroom will be capable of supporting more then one external screen?

This was awesome! It was so annoying trying to get my second high res monitor to display as my secondary display instead of my tiny laptop screen. Thanks!

Thank you Geobert, your script has just saved me a lot of head aches 🙂
I run 3 monitors, two aRGB and one refernce sRGB and your script literally saves me time in my work flow. 

It would be usefull to use 3 displays : 
- Mosaic / Grid
- Full screen adapted (interactive)
- 3:1 interactive zoom

It will lead to a big time gain in sorting photos...
Best regards.

Workaround on Windows using Autohotkey (search and install it)

You'll need to adjust the coordinates on the line with WinMove instruction

Add a shortcut to this script in
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\
So it starts with Windows.

Enjoy!

My apologies for the double post...it seemed as though this topic wasn't getting any Adobe love in its current state so I attempted to post it as a new topic...which ended up getting sent right back here again.

Many users now deploy multiple monitors in their workflow, but Lightroom currently only supports 1 additional monitor, so instead of having a color-calibrated monitor in portrait AND another in landscape to view images full screen in either orientation in addition to the "main" display, we have to choose one OR the other.

MacOS and Windows both support spanning the desktop across multiple video cards/monitors, and both OS's are agnostic when it comes to the orientation of those monitors. Could Adobe please implement something similar in Lightroom 5?

Respectfully

When will there be "proper" multi-screen support on Lightroom? When I click outside Lightroom, the preview on the second screen will disappear, this is very annoying to me!

Sadly the word I'm hearing from power users trying the beta of LR5 is that this feature hasn't been incorporated into the product, so we will have to wait even longer for this to (maybe) become a reality. Thanks Adobe!!

Lightroom's support for a second display has definitely helped my workflow. I hope the team will consider adding more flexible multiple monitor support in version 4. Here's why.

I've recently experimented with running one of my three screens in portrait mode. When this screen hosts Lightroom's secondary display window in Loupe view, my verticals finally get equal real estate for editing. While I've not done hard statistics on my library, I know more than 50% of my imagery is in portrait orientation.

I'd like to see LR V4 support three or more screens so I could set up as follow:

Screen 1 - main lightroom interface, would not need to be calibrated, for controls and navigation

Screen 2 - Portrait orientation, loupe view - this would be a calibrated display, all develop changes to verticals would be judged on this screen

Screen 3 - Landscape orientation, loupe view - another calibrated display, all develop changes to horizontals would be judged on this screen

If Adobe could make the app intelligent enough to route the image to the correct screen based on orientation (recognizing and respecting cropping that could change orientation) my edit sessions would certainly speed up and I could maximize the productivity of multiple screens.

I'd be happy with this, but I'm also stymied by the need to switch back to Library mode to tag images when my primary workflow has me in develop. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the image. Before I invest in image-specific meta data, I have to process or at least "test-process" an image. IMO the Quick Develop panel is useless, once you become accustomed to the granular control of the develop sliders, it just doesn't cut it.

In the three monitor setup I described above I'd love to be able to configure screen 1, with a combination of panels from Library and Develop, so I could stay "develop centric" with immediate access to keywording and meta. The two additional screens would intelligently handle image display.

I think this might speed my workflow by 33% and having just returned from a Tour de France project that generated 23,000 images I need all the productivity help I can get.
