Dual screen mode tips

[sinecurea]

Hi Folks,
I have a 24" iMac and Macbook Pro. I've just bought a 23" cinema display as a second monitor.
I've only used the MacbookPro with the 23" (for about 10 minutes), since the converter for the iMac hasn't arrived yet. I haven't had that much time to mess about with it on the Macbook Pro.
I'm starting to learn completely new things here - for example, opening the Displays Prefs opens a new, seperate window on the second screen.

One thing that I did note was that, when I opened photoshop, it automatically opened on the main screen (on the MBP). How do (or can I) get that to open on the second monitor, rather than the main screen? (Since you can't drag and drop photoshop).

I bought the 23" for 2 main reasons -
1) to be able to Edit in Lightroom and Photoshop while viewing the same photo)
2) to be able to use and view InDesign and photoshop at the same time.

So, can you give me a heads-up on dual monitors?

Cheers.

Can you post some pics of your set-up?

I also have a 24' iMac & MBP, and have been jonsing for this exact set-up with the cinema.

So you like guitars huh??

Funny cause the big picture seems almost identical to the one I got from Samash to work on their commercial a while ago.

I'm away from home till next week and don't have source files on me but this one is from that entire batch we received and I'm still pretty sure I have one somewhere that looks like the one you have on your screen.
