Hi,

I've just purchased PD16 and am trying the Dual Preview option. I have three screens, two at 1980 x 1200 and one at 1280 x 1024, all attached to an NVidia graphics card, which sees the larger screens as 1 and 2 with the smaller screen recognised as screen 3.

I have PD16 running on my main desktop screen, screen 1, but when I enable Dual Preview the preview appears on the small screen, screen 3, rather than the larger screen 2, which is what I want.

Can anyone tell me how to force Dual Preview to use the larger screen 2 instead of automatically picking the smaller screen 3?

Thanks, Peter

Hi Peter

I think you have to Try Windows 10 settings .....

Depending on the Win 10 settings, you should be able to just grab the preview window and drag it to the other monitor. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

Hi Paul,

What settings do you have in mind? So far, the only way I have found is to disable the third screen, enable the feature in PD and then to reenable the third screen

Hi GG,

Unfortunatley there is nothing to grab because the picture occupies the whole of the screen and there is no Windows border to grab...

Right click on the Preview and select UNDOCK. You then will have a window that can be dragged. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

Thanks Gary, this was the answer, the preview is now on my second screen!
