Two monitors - how to have all of Affinity except the image on one


Recommended Posts

Yes, on my desktop PC (Windows 10), I have two monitors, the bigger for the image and Affinity Photo on the smaller.  For the greater part of the time, all is fine and works well.

However, although the main program and the most used panels, such as layers, history, channels, colour, brushes colour etc are there, quite often when I use something like a 

filter or the warp mesh tool it opens on the bigger monitor and behind the image.  To fix this, I minimise the image and drag the panel over to the smaller monitor.  It is a pain when I

have to do this several times for each editing session.  Is there any way to have all fresh panels open on the smaller monitor please?

Hi Jaffa :)

The dialogue windows should appear on whichever monitor Affinity is started on. Do you open the application to your large monitor first, then drag it across to your second smaller one?

If you make a desktop shortcut on your second monitor and start the app using this - ensure your mouse stays on monitor 2 during opening - then you should find the dialogue windows always open here. I hope this helps!
