Open multiple instances of Photoshop...
 

Does anyone know of a way to open multiple instances of Photoshop??

I have a dual monitor display and want Photoshop open on both of them for something I'm testing out. Is there a way to do this?

Nope.. probably impossible...
why are you doing it?

I can get it to stretch across both monitors, and open 2 files, however, if you can imagine, If you are working on 2 graphics with 1 graphic on monitor 2, you have to mouse all the way over to monitor 1 to change tools, or do anything on the menu. 2 instances would give me 2 toolbars, and 2 file menus.

nah man you cant do it...!!

That blows. It would rock if you could.

hmm.. yeah... well.. place them "in the middle" and learn as many shortcut-commands as possible :)

That would be very missleading ... not having the same objects on each comp...

only way I see you could do that is to get a wireless mouse working on the same frequency on both computer ...

and place 2 screens next to each other . mouse controls both ... (and keyboard).



Errrrrrr

I make zero sence ... would fuckup the other job :P lol ... dumb ass me

I think I might be able to accomplish this using a multiple desktop program. Just have to find the right one.

There's no such thing as "can't".

Use a Virtual Desktop Tool... It allows you to open like 50 different instances of Photoshop-- Granted, if your computer can handle it.

install it again





































kidding, but i agree everything is possible

Actually, even the Virtual Desktop tools that I tried wouldn't allow multiple instances of PS to be open, it would just pop over to the other desktop that had the open instance when I tried to open it a second time. As well, the multiple desktops spanned across both monitors.

looking at your work i think u can do away with Photoshop altogether and go with Microsoft Paint or perhaps an Etch-a-Sketch.

Fear the geometry.
