mtokimoto Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I was using Affinity photo on an Imac with a small 19" external monitor, where i had the editing window on the Imac, would do the editing on a photo there, and see the photo separately on the external monitor. I replaced the monitor with a larger 27" one and now I can only see the editing window on the Imac. I can display it on either the Imac monitor or the external monitor, but I can't get the photo being edited on one and the editing window (with the photo) on the other. Anyone have suggestions?

Staff MEB Posted August 15, 2017 Staff Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hi mtokimoto, Welcome to Affinity Forums Do you have enable Separated Mode (menu Window ▸ Separated Mode) , created a new view (menu View ▸ New View) and dragged it to the external monitor? How are the second monitor connected to the iMac? janeeporter 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtokimoto Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 It's connected via the USB-C port to HDMI on the external monitor. I guess what's confusing me is that when i had the smaller monitor, i didn't do anything in Affinity to have the dual displays show the photo being edited on one and the editing workspace on another. I'll try your suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swensor Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I can't find a "Separate Mode" option. If I click menu - Window my only drop down is the current file name. The Help screen doesn't recognize the search for "Separate Mode" Any suggestions on how to use a second monitor would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Swensor Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 OK. Could someone help me configure my Windows version to use two monitors? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 13, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi Swensor, Welcome to Affinity Forums I'm assuming you are running Windows 10. If so connect your second monitor to the computer then right-click on the desktop and select Display Settings - you should be able to set up the second display there.

beneix Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Can someone confirm if Affinity Photo on Windows allows for some of the user interface to be on one monitor while for example the main preview of the photo being edited is on another monitor?

AleBolbo Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Just tried it, simply drag the frame with the photo (name of photo on the upper left and the "close" X on the upper right)on the monitor you want to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneloop Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hi I have the same question as the OP here. Except I don't want to use separated mode for everything ( don't like everything floaty ), I just want a separate view on a second monitor like arrange -> new window does for PS. Is this possible, I tried dragging like above but doesn't appear to work. Thanks Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrei B Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I use a Dual Monitor Setup (43 inch via USB-C Dock) on a Macbook Air M1. Would love it if the Finder window @when I export things (cmd+alt+shift+s)" to not reset it's dimensions / sizes. Always resets to this: Would love to stay like this: Thank youu.
