Digital BW, The Print

I've a G5 with a 20 inch cinema display and a EIZO CG210. I use the Apple
display for most of the mundane work, text, email, surfing, etc. When I work
with PS CS2, any of the products in the suite, I put the images on the EIZO
after it's warmed up. I use the EIZO for pages when working with InDesign
and drawings in Illustrator. All the tools stay on the Apple LCD. 

 

I've a PC laptop with a 17 inch LCD. I connect the EIZO if I'm using
Dreamweaver and updating text on one site that needs updating every month.
I'll put the Word doc up on the EIZO and copy the text, then paste into the
web page on my laptop. I don't use my laptop too much for image editing but
when I do it's LCD does a fairly good job of matching my printer, an Epson
4800, without calibration. 

 

The one thing I do miss though is the rotation feature of the EIZO, I could
hold my laptop on its side the that's pretty cumbersome :-)

 

You know you can just "grab" either monitor that's displayed in the monitor
references and drag it to either side of you laptop? That way you can match
the movement of your mouse from left to right and even adjust the height of
the second display so the tops are even or the bottoms are even.

 

Good luck, Alan

Subject: [Digital BW] O.T. monitors

 

I am using a macbook pro and a viewsonic G810 monitor .
when using photoshop
the viewsonic is my monitor for the "image"
and the macbook pro is for the tools

I'm just wondering if anyone else is using a laptop and a second 
monitor and how they set them up?

I have my macbook in front and below the viewsonic and things just 
feel a little strange...

before the macbook I used a G4 and two monitors side by side with no 
problem..

any suggestions?

Larry
