I have Lightroom 6 on my MacBook, and I added a 2nd monitor, and made the 2nd monitor the default screen. When I open my pictures in lightroom, the program shows on the 2nd monitor, but a duplicate of the image displays on the MacBook screen. Looking for help to prevent anything from lightroom to show on the MacBook.

Dick, I've never used or had a Mac computer, but within the Windows programs in the Control Panel there is a feature for controlling the displays on second monitors to Duplicate, Extend and a few others that I don't recall. Somewhere the Mac-book must have a similar control feature.

So are you seeing the Loupe (or Grid, Compare, Survey, etc) View on the second display, or is it a duplicate of the LR desktop on the second display? If it is not a duplicate of the LR desktop, you can turn that off by clicking in the lower left corner - there is a 1 in a box and a 2 in a box. Clicking on the 2 should turn off the second display.

In your system preferences, open the "Displays" panel and look for anything that mentions mirror or mirroring display

Not sure about the Mac, but on the PC version on the bottom left hand corner below the "Import" button, there are two windows labelled 1 and 2. Click on the 2 window to turn the second monitor on or off.
