When using Photoshop, you have several options. I have a seventeen inch monitor and my settings are always on the smallest possible for BIG screen size, but I still find things get in my way??? Anyone here have any great suggestions as to what they do to get their optimum space out of Photshop, and while we are on this topic, what are all your "favorite" tools to keep active and which ones do you find useless or of little use?? ~3D;-)

Don't you want the monitor resolution to be the highest you can make it? Like 1024X 768? That's what my screen is set at, and I have SO much room! If your screen does not go to that high resolution, maybe a new adapter should do it. Buy an adapter that allows the resolution to be 1024X 768. I keep all of the windows open at all times (history, options, layers, etc) -Adam

If you can and Have an extra old 15 inch monitor laying around I believe that you can run dual monitors and stick your tools on the 15 inch and use the 17 for working on the image Tartan

Dual monitors rock! I love being ableto move all my tools and palettes off my work surface. I was under the impression that you could only do that with a Mac, though. Diane

Just for the Mac Diane? sigh heh When I upgraded I was going to look into doing that. And I have so much software for the PC I almost Have to go PC. sighs Tartan :)

Actually, Tartan, there may be a way to do it with a PC. It's just that Macs have dual monitor support built-in. :-)

Hello, PC's can have dual monitors as well. Win98 supports this and NT does also. You have to have two video cards installed correctly or if you have a AGP port there are some new cards coming out that have dual head outputs. The Matrox G400 is one example. Serpent

For those of use with only one monitor.... I have my display set to 1280x1024 (the highest the monitor supports) and still find that I don't have enough work area in Photoshop. it's a 17" monitor too. I don't want to try moving my toolbars or palletes or anything like that cause I have them where I am used to them. The only solution for people like me is to get a bigger monitor that supports higher resolution.
