I can't seem to do dual monitor setup on my PS 2024 on Windows 11.

 

I did Window-Arrange-New Window for <filename>.jpg     Is that it?  I dont think it look right as only the JPG is on the 2nd monitor. I need PS desktop on both monitor where I can drag any panel feedly.

 

My monitor setup is Extend Display, not Mirror.

 

Need help. Thanks.

    If you want just the image on the main monitor and all the panels on the second monitor, drag the panels over, and arrange them as you wish. You can even have the tools and Options panel on the second monitor.

    Then go to Window > Workspace > New workspace to save the setup.

    Or you can do it the other way round:

     

    Keep the application frame with panels on one screen, thus having all tools and controls in one place. Then move the image to the other screen - or a new / duplicate window for the same image.

     

    For that you need to use floating image windows, not tabbed.

     

    I only have a single monitor here, but the principle is the same. Extended displays act just like one large screen. You can drag anything anywhere:

     

    Oh, and BTW - color management will work independently for each screen. When you drag an image over, the correct monitor profile for each screen will be used.
