Using Two Monitors

If you are fortunate enough to have more than one monitor connected to your computer, you can configure Picture Window to make use of the additional space to give you more room for editing by dragging the image browser or various dialog boxes from the main window to another monitor.

Placing Dialog Boxes on a second monitor

To configure where transformation and mask dialog boxes appear initially, go to File Preferences and set the Initial Dialog Position. This lets you place these dialog boxes by default on an adjacent monitor placed next to your main monitor.

Placing the Image Browser on a second monitor

To relocate the image browser to a second monitor, first go to the main tool bar and select the 4th button that controls the display of the image browser and main image area -- the one that displays the image browser in its own window. Then drag the image browser to the other monitor and resize it according to your preference. The size and location of the image browser at the end of one session is automatically restored at the beginning of the next, just like the main window.

Windows support for multiple monitors, especially if they have different scale factors has been evolving over time. For best results, use Windows 10 (or later).
