Community Beginner ,
Apr 11, 2020 Apr 11, 2020

I use the latest Photoshop on a desktop with Win10 Home Edition and i have 2 monitors.

I would like to know how i can drag the Photoshop interface from one monitor to the other together with toolbars and panels.

What happens now is that i have to move the interface of the app and then toolbars and panels.

If the tool bar and panels are docked to the application frame, they will move along with it.

''Docked'' is the answer to my issue. I had to find how to dock the panels in a way to suit my needs. Thanks.

You can also set up Photoshop UI to take advantage of you mutiple displays and create a workspace fo yoy envitonment.  Here you see I  have three displays a 16:9 4K 3840x2160 display flanked by 2 4:3 1600x1200 Displays.  I have Photoshop Main UI Window  on the center 4K display The Pallets I use the most on the left display and Adobe Bridge on the right display.

Thanks for your reply but my post was misleading. I cannot spread my pallets to different monitors because my second monitor is a Wacom One tablet which means that i cannot use the pen on my main monitor. And my main monitor is a 40'' Samsung HD TV screen(!) For now.

If You want to use your Wacon Tablet Pen on your TV map your pen to just your TV when Photoshop is the active application.

 

If your Wacom is a Cintiq  it is a monitor. If it is a Tablet it is not a monitor.  I map  Intuos pro tablet pen to my My main Display when I'm using Photoshop.  I use all displays with Photoshop. However, my Wacom Pen can only be used on my main display when Photoshop is the active application. When I'm using other applications  my Wacom tablet maps the pen to all my displays.

 

You should be able to put Photoshop Windows and palette on any Display you have  have configure on your PC.  If your desktop is expanded to your TV there should be no issue positioning palettes on all displays including your TV.  Here My third display is my Surface Pro 3 Display connect to my workstation over my in house gigibit network using SpaceDesk.

all other applications.

Windows configuration display  2 is a 23" 1920x1080 display.  Display 1  a 27" 1920x1080 display  my main display.  Display 3 12"  2160x1440 display.

I use a Wacom One TABLET.  I mentioned that it works as a monitor but i m not sure because i m new to display tablets.

As you said when i use the Photoshop app i can use the pen only on the display tablet.

Other than painting with the pen i m not interested in using it for other things. I m a ''mouse'' guy anyways.

 

There is a different question that i would like to ask you and its more important than the current post.

Can you zoom in and out with your fingers on display tablets with a touch screen?

I recently bought a Wacom One display tablet and it does not have a touch screen.

I used to scroll with the mouse to zoom in and out which is extremely helpful to work faster.

That a new Wacom tablet to me it look like Wacom in now trying to compete with the low cost competitors.  I would think with any application that the Wacom pen may only be mapped to the Wacom one display tablet. That would be basically how I use Photoshop with my Wacom Intuos pro tablet. Where I map  the Wacom pen only to my my main middle display. I still use Photoshop palettes and windows on all three of my displays.  My Surface Pro 3 12" display is on the right a second high resolution view of the Image I'm editing on my main middle display that wacom pen is mapped to. There are also Photoshop palettes on my left display which I have to use my mouse to access for my Wacom pen is only mapped to my center display where Photoshop Main UI Window with its tool bar, tool option bar and some pop-out palettes reside. I edit image in floating windows on that display. I may also move floating image windows to my left display for reference.  You can use all your displays with Photoshop not just your Wacom one display tablet display.
