CS4 placement of main image window

<p>We finally upgraded to CS4 from CS3 on a Mac.<br>

When opening a file, new or existing, it is placed behind all my panels on my secondary monitor. I can't figure out how to open them on the other monitor. I have saved and trashed and resaved workspaces with images open on the main monitor. I never had this problem in CS3. <br>

On my secondary monitor, I have everything. Toolbar, tools, panels etc. On my Primary view monitor, I have nothing but the image. Currently, I have to move a panel out of the way so I can grab the head of the file and drag it to the primary monitor. Can anyone help me with having my images open on the Primary monitor.</p><div></div>

<p>I wish I had an answer, but there doesn't appear to be one. There IS a new feature called Application Frame (under the Window menu) that will keep the images on the second monitor by default - but that puts all the tools there, too. I tried that for a while but it kinda defeats the purpose of having dual monitors. PS CS4 just seems to want everything on the same display - on Macs at least.</p>

<p>Adobe seems to have missed this issue in CS4 because as you seem to know it worked the way you want it to in CS3 and before, at least in Windows.<br>

The only solution I know in Windows is to put the application itself on the main monitor and the palletes on the small monitor. Then (usually) images open in PS itself. Sometimes they end up under the palletes after minimizing either the image or PS and then maximising. You lose a bit of real estate to the PS frame and menu bar etc. Don't know about a Mac. Try it and let us know.</p>
