Displaying the Library on a second monitor You can open a window that displays a second view of the Library. This second window displays the photos that are selected in the Library module, and uses the Library module view options that are specified in the primary Lightroom window for Grid and Loupe view. The second window can stay open regardless of which module you’re working in, so it’s easy to view and select different photos at any time. If you have a second monitor connected to the computer that runs Lightroom, you can display the second window on that screen. Note: Lightroom does not color-manage the view of the Library module on the second monitor.
