Work with Two Monitors?

Look in the top-left corner of the Filmstrip, and you’ll see two buttons: one with a “1” and one with a “2” (seen above in the inset). Those are controls for your main and second displays. By default, “1” is always highlighted, but if you have two displays connected, the “2” will be highlighted, as well—just click on it and a pop-up menu appears where you can choose what you want to appear on that second display (I generally choose the Loupe view myself). When you click on “1,” its pop-up menu appears where you choose what you see on your main screen (I generally choose Grid view, as seen above. That way, when I click on a thumbnail in Grid view, it shows up huge on my second screen). The bottom section of the pop-up menus lets you choose how you want each screen to look—do you want to see them full screen, or full screen but with the menu bar showing up top, and so on.
