Multi-screen workplace behaviour

Actually I've seen this too, on a desktop system with two 24 inch monitors and a NVidia Quadro P600 as the only GPU.

It happens every once in a blue moon, always when opening several images from Lightroom. Apart from that, there's no pattern to it that I can see.

There's always enough title bar present to drag the image back, so it's not a problem, merely a small nuisance.

Hi brianw,

Sorry that Photoshop is not working as expected with a dual monitor setup as while editing image from Lightroom to Photoshop it only shows the image partially on secondary monitor.

I'd recommend that you please check out thee below troubleshooting steps:

• You launched Photoshop with a single monitor connected prior to connecting to the second monitor.

To solve this issue, quit and restart Photoshop with the second monitor connected.

All future use of Photoshop will correctly recognize the second monitor without this issue – unless you restore your preferences. In that case, repeat the solution steps and quit and restart Photoshop with the second monitor connected.

• Multiple graphics cards with conflicting drivers can cause problems with GPU-accelerated or enabled features in Photoshop. For best results, connect two (or more) monitors into one graphics card.

If you must use more than one graphics card, remove or disable the less powerful cards. For example, assume that you have two different cards using two different drivers—an NVIDIA graphics card and an AMD graphics card. In this case, ensure that Photoshop has been assigned the High Performance graphics card rather than Integrated Graphics or Power Saving graphics card.

NVIDIA:

a. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose the NVIDIA control panel.

b. Click Manage 3D settings.

c. Click Program Settings and add Photoshop.exe and sniffer.exe. Change the preferred graphics processor to High-performance NVIDIA processor.

AMD:

a. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose the AMD Catalyst Control Center or Configure Switchable Graphics.

b. Click Browse and choose High Performance instead of Power Saving.

• Restore Photoshop preferences to default: To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut:

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

Let us know if the above steps help in resolving the issue.

Thanks,
