Multi-Monitor

Pop-out panels, dual fullscreen, light table, and second preview window.

On this page

FLOGVIT.photosuite is built for photographers who use more than one screen. Pop out panels, run dual fullscreen, or use a second display as a light table.

Colours on each monitor#

With colour management on and no display profile chosen in Settings → Color, a picture is shown in the colour profile of the monitor the main window is on, on a Mac and on Windows. Move the window to a wide-gamut screen and the colours follow it.

Pop-Out Panels#

Every panel except the viewer can have its own window: Folders, Filmstrip, Sidebar, Histogram, Develop and Scopes.

  1. Go to Window → Pop Out Sidebar Panel (or any other panel)
  2. The panel leaves the dock and opens in its own window, with all its controls
  3. Move the window to your other screen

The Develop panel works from its window too — its sliders, masks and the spot tool on the picture. Close the window, or choose the same menu item again, to put the panel back in the dock.

Dual-Monitor Fullscreen#

Run different views on each screen at the same time:

  • Screen 1: the grid, for overview and selection
  • Screen 2: the selected picture, full size

As you move through the grid on screen 1, the picture on screen 2 follows. Turn it on with Window → Dual-Monitor Fullscreen (Option+F); it needs two displays. Press Escape or close the picture window to leave it.

Light Table#

The Light Table: the grid in a window of its own, for a second monitor, while the main window shows one picture large.
The Light Table: the grid in a window of its own, for a second monitor, while the main window shows one picture large.

Window → Light Table (Option+L) opens a window of large thumbnails — the pictures the filter shows, with their stars, flags and labels. Set the size with the Size slider. Click a picture to select it, and right-click it for the same menu as in the grid.

Preview Window#

Window → Preview Window (Option+W) opens a window with the selected picture, drawn as the develop view draws it: the same edits, crop and exposure. It follows the selection in every view, the grid included. It is a lighter alternative to dual-monitor fullscreen — just an extra window you can put anywhere.

Window Management#

FLOGVIT.photosuite includes built-in window management:

  • Tile — Arrange windows side by side
  • Fill — Expand window to fill the screen
  • Center — Center and resize to a default size
  • Move to Screen — Quickly move a window between monitors

Access these from the Window menu or use the keyboard shortcuts.

Tab Toggle#

Press Tab to hide all panels at once — sidebar, filmstrip, folder tree — leaving just the image. Press Tab again to bring them back. This works in both single and dual-monitor modes.
