How to enlarge second screen/Digital Photo Professional Ver 4

Thiru

Hi,
I am unable to change the size of the second screen and would like to find out how to change the second screen size. On my system(Windows 10) second screen size is about 3inchesx3inches. I can move it around. But cannot change the size.  Is it a bug? or it is supposed to be of that size? If we cannot change the size what is the use of it?

I can change the size of the second screen on a MacBook Air w/Sequoia and an iMac w/Sonoma by left-click dragging the corner or edges of the second screen.

No. It works in W10 for me. What are your computer specs. Mine is W10 with 1920x1200 display.

It works on a 4K iMac, so it may be a Windows bug.for 4K displays.

My takeaway from reading the instructions at your link is that they are telling you how to change the size of the image.  Clink on the image to view it at 100%, one pixel in the image will be displayed as one pixel on your display.  Don’t try to drag the corners or edges of the window.

Note, this means a 4K dispaly will show more of the image than a Full HD display.

I was travelling when this first was posted, so I didn't have access to my computer to test.

Now I am home. For W10, if you use left-click on the mouse and grab a corner you can enlarge the frame. Can also left-click and grab an edge.

Works the same way with 4.18 and macOS 15 using a mouse. I am not real proficient with touch pad, but with the right finger movements should work as well.

What screen resolution are you using with Windows?  Canon apps seem to prefer Full HD resolution, especially the installers.

I'm on windows 11.  I can resize the second image using left click, but the adjustment capability is limited.  I can adjust from thumbnail to approx 4x4 inches on my laptop.  Screen is only 2k on this one. v4.19.10
