Windows 7 I need a reference window

[greatspud]

I need a reference window ? That wont go away. I need for the windows photo viewer to stay up in the corner as i work in a art program. So i do not reopen the viewer 37 hundred times? If I cant have this can I get a second monitor and on that put my reference pic on it and the program on the other? If so can i put one monitor on the video card and one on the mother board?

To keep a reference window always visible while working in an art program, you have a few options: 1. Keeping Windows Photo Viewer Always On Top: - You can use third-party tools like "Always on Top" or "DeskPins" to keep the Windows Photo Viewer window on top of all other windows. These tools allow you to "pin" an application to the front. - Another option is to use the built-in Windows Snapping feature. Drag the Windows Photo Viewer to one corner of the screen to snap it and then adjust the size as needed. 2. Using a Second Monitor for Reference: - Yes, you can definitely use a second monitor to display your reference images while working on your art program. This setup can be beneficial for multitasking and keeping your main workspace clutter-free. - You can connect one monitor to the video card and another to the motherboard if your system supports it. However, this setup largely depends on your graphics card and motherboard capabilities. 3. Multi-Monitor Setup: - To set up dual monitors, ensure that your graphics card supports multiple displays. Most modern graphics cards do support this feature. - Connect one monitor to the video card's port and the other to the motherboard's port. Note that some motherboard and graphics card combinations may not allow this setup due to hardware limitations. If you face any issues or need further assistance with setting up dual monitors or keeping the reference window always visible, feel free to ask!
