Uh, those aren't "improvements", those are just a list of standard features...no news there.

I'm using CC 5.7.1 and would like to make use of the "multiple monitor support" standard feature. How do I enable this? Thanks!

By typing shift-E?  Only supports two monitors, but hey - I haven't room for more anyway.

Thanks, Simon! I didn't know that that keystroke existed and I do find it useful.     - Jim

agreed, look pretty much like a feature list for LR 5 ...

Yup, post was a heads-up, interesting in that it was a release coming from Adobe, not a third party. Judging by the listing and the speed of your response, looks like a long overdue release will soon be upon us.

IMHO they can sell it for 200 bucks as long as you can buy an unlimited licence. Forcing a subscription-based licence, now that would be a shame.

Why can't we just wait until either a beta or trial version is available and then go through new features/improvements/etc?

Because that would cause the whole internet to implode.

Beta testing has been ongoing for some time.

I don't think we are going to see an RC version made available this time if the on-sale date of (variously reported) 6 or 9 March is correct.

My point was, and still is, why not wait until something tangible is available and then we can all look and see what we like/don't like/wish was included? I don't care if there is not a public beta, etc. When the product becomes available we call make up our minds whether to purchase it or not.

Are you trying to stop members' pleasure of rumour mongoring?

Thanks, Simon! I didn't know that that keystroke existed and I do find it useful.     - Jim

Shift + N = Survey on second monitor /Number of images
Shift + G + Grid on second monitor
Shift + E = Loupe on second monitor
Shift + \ = Filter on second monitor
Shift + C = Compare on second monitor

And thanks to you, Triple Jay! Very handy.     - Jim

I use dual monitors and these shortcuts make my life much easier.

The ability to see a large portion of the filmstrip in Grid view on the second monitor is a real time saver for me.     - Jim

[jjj]

I never use the film strip at bottom of screen even when using laptop. It's much easier to go back and for between grid view and develop/loupe etc using shortcuts. Filmstrip is simply too faffy in my view.
