I am using, since some time, 2 monitors with Photoshop and Lightroom. A thing I really find difficult is how to work with the Photoshop layout. Do i put all the floating photoshop windows on one screen? Or do I keep everything on the 30 inch monitor? I would really appreciate to hear how others have set up Photoshop and Lightroom over 2 screens....even a few screens shots would be helpful.
many thanks
Rene

I just keep it simple (like myself

) and have one screen for all things Photoshop related, and keep the second calibrated monitor for just the image.

I use my "main Screen" for the Photoshop desk top with the image I am working on with the tool bar on the left. On the second screen to my right I place the history, layers Nik/Google plug in options, actions, and any other tools I may be using. To me, this gives the most real estate for the image and tool bar. When I am in Light Room I really like having a large image on my second screen while only thumbnails are on the main screen.
