Books - no full-screen view of page?

I would find it useful to be able to see a page of an Aperture Book I'm working on in full-screen mode. I don't find a way to do it. Full-screen mode works on an image from the Browser strip below the book-edit Viewer, or an image from the page, but not on the page itself. I just want to see a single page at 100% (or slightly more) with a black background, so as to check composition and detail in the same view.
Before I put this in as a feature request, though, I thought I should ask if I'm just missing it somewhere.

Perhaps full-screen mode would give you more of
what
you want?
Well, yes, that's what I'm asking for.
Sorry Charles - I mis-interpreted what you said as a request for having the book or light-table open full-screen on the second monitor.
If an image on the page is selected in the
book-editor viewer, pressing F brings the image into
full-screen mode. If you deselect the image (select
the whole page, or nothing, in the viewer), pressing
F yields a full-screen mode which is completely black.
I saw there was a Bagelturf article on laying out books and full-screen mode, but it was only to adjust one image.
But yes, the ability to have a full-screen book or light table or web-gallery layout (on either monitor) would be very good).
I was excited myself as I thought full-screen mode would work, and was going to rush home to try it, but alas it's not to be.

Steve

  • How can I change the background colour when working on a doc in full screen view (pages)?

    Recently I have been working on docs without the distraction of having to see my desktop around my page file by using the full screen view in pages. I do find the contrast to an all black screen too harsh though and it makes my eyes more tired than seeing the clutter of my desktop around the page. Is there any way I can change the background colour?
    Any help much appreciated!

    When you are in Full screen mode move the cursor up to the top to show the Format bar. Then look to the far right. There you'll see Background  and a rectangle. Click on the rectangle and change the colour.
    For information on Pages download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu.

  • Full screen view background color Pages 5.5.1

    Is there a way to change the background color in Full Screen View back to black in Pages 5.5.1? I do not prefer the new default grey and would like to change it. I found a similar question in the forum for an earlier version of pages the pointed to a background color option in the format bar, but I cannot seem to find this option in the newer version. Tha

    Beginning with Pages v5 in October 2013, and subsequent releases, there is no configurable means for a black background.

  • Pages Full screen view second external monitor

    I use a 24" monitor as my primary display when i'm at my desk with my Macbook Pro. Is there anyway to get pages full screen view to display on the external monitor instead of the macbook pro screen?

    Apple has sort of spoiled the multiple monitor thing, which before OSX used to be a great feature on Macs.
    Apple tends to make assumptions about its users, based on whatever it is selling in its latest hardware.
    Since so many large screen iMacs have been sold and the external monitor ports have switched numerous times, most users have given up trying to connect multiple monitors and many are probably even unaware it is possible.
    It seems this includes the Pages' programmers who have slipped up on this.

  • My f11 key will not open my page up to full screen view. How can I fix this

    The f11 key will not open up to full screen view.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Preview Aperture Book in Full Screen

    Hi,
    I'm working on a Macbook Pro 13" and would like to view my photo book in full screen so that I can get a better look at it before I send it off for printing (the inspector takes up 1/3 of the screen which limits the size of my book pages). I recently moved from iPhoto to Aperture, and I'm sure I remember previewing my books in full screen in iPhoto. I'm sure there is a way to view the book pages in full screen in Aperture, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

  • Transition Problems in Full Screen View

    Hi.
    I've created a Powerpoint presentation on the Bayeux Tapestry which I now want to convert to a PDF document so that I can add multimedia.
    My Powerpoint presentation features photographs of a section the tapestry with each photograph placed on a separate slide. I've used the Powerpoint 'push left' transition to create a panoramic effect which creates the illusion that the tapestry is being scrolled from right to left  as the viewer clicks through the presentation. It all works very well in Powerpoint as the slides butt up against each other in transition without any 'seam' between them.
    I thought I could simply replicate the effect in Acrobat 9 by converting the presentation to PDF and selecting the 'push left' transition from Advance/Document Processing options then launching the document in full screen view. However, I've found that using a push left transition in Acrobat creates wacking great gaps between the pages as they scroll right to left: this absolutely ruins the whole effect.
    As you can probably tell, I'm pretty much a newbie with Acrobat 9 (but not with other Adobe applications) and I can't work out for the life of me how to get around this problem. Is there someting simple that I'm overlooking on the full screen view options or perhaps in the Powerpoint conversion settings or do I have to start adjusting resolutions etc? Or maybe it's just the nature ofthe beast (do hope not)?
    I'd be very grateful for any enlightenment or advice.
    PS: Forgot to mention the Powerpoint was created in default landscape layout and hence so is the PDF.

    Do you have the PDF version to fill the full screen and not leave borders? If you print to PDF (not create PDF), then a margin is added by default (as when you print to paper). The border can be reduced to 0, but that is an extra step with the print. As I recall, the PDF Maker (create PDF) does not include the margins. Thus the whole margin bit may be the issue.

  • IPhoto 11 window won't open, only have full screen view

    After I upgraded, the iphoto window would not come up. The menu bar at the top is active, and I am able to access my photos from Full Screen View. But when I toggle back, and close full screen, everything closes...
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • I have a mac OSX desktop version 10.6.8 and all of a sudden I can't get a full screen view in Safari when I ask for help the response is use the arrows on the top right of the screen ... I don't have them  ... can anyone help?

    Hi Mary,
    I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
    I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved  all the way to the left.  Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

  • What is a full screen view?

    My full screen view used to be a full screen view of a photo. Edge to edge, top to bottom. Now in slide show I have 1 inch vertical black bands on each side. In full screen view I have 1 1/2 inch vertical bands on each side plus the horizontal info bands. I suspect a solution is in iPhoto preferences but I can't find it. Can I get a real full screen view? (13 inch Mac Book running 10:6.5)

    There is no solution in the Preferences or anywhere else.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and let the developers know you want a change.

  • "Full Screen View" option for browsers

    I produce iMovie projects such as:
    http://firmimage.ca/10delisle110.php
    I would like to to add a "Full Screen View" option & don't know how.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance

    They key is to "target" the QuickTime Player instead of the browser plug-in.
    This is done with new "tags" in the special html code and a secondary .mov file that acts as a "poster movie". When the visitor clicks on the poster movie the 'href' (linked file) URL loads in the QuickTime Player. The poster movie could be a small image file (saved as .mov) to act as a button.
    QuickTime Player Pro can add special "Presentation" properties to a file such as "Full Screen" and "Quit when done".
    Snow Leopard's QuickTime X doesn't seem to like the stored Presentation feature, however. One of my pages that shows how it works (sort of). View Source to see the html code.

  • Full screen view is blank

    When I try to view Images in full screen view, they show up blank.  They use to work just last week.  I can see them pop up as I scroll from image to image, and the thumbnail shows up as I zoom into the image, but the full size image is blank.  Any thoughts?  (I have everything updated).
    Thank you!

    What version of iPhoto are you running?  If it's iPhoto 11 then try the following: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Changing thumbnails to full screen viewing

    Hello    
    When I double click on a jpeg thumbnail image in iPhoto to view full screen, the full screen version will not appear.
    It starts to appear but then what ends up showing is a exclamation mark with a grey background.
    This happens with all of the older jpegs in the library.
    I did the command/option thing when opening iPhoto to rebuild the photo library and, that didn't make any difference.
    It's probably been a couple of month's since I last used iPhoto on this MacBook and, didn't have this problem.
    So, I downloaded some newer jpegs and when I double click those thumbnails, they open in full screen viewing mode with no problems.
    Any ideas why the older jpegs will not open to view full screen?
    Using iPhoto 09 Ver. 8.1.2
    The OS for the laptop is MAC OS X Ver 10.6.8

    The exclamation mark is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the orignal files.  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot.

    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.

  • Don't have full screen view since changing to 19 inch screen. Have about 2 inches of white space on each side. Changed to compact view and then back. No change

    I got a larger monitor and flat screen (19 inch). Since changing I am not getting a full screen view of home page. I changed the page options to compact view and then back, but no change. I've got about 2 inches of white on each side of the home page view.

    When going to a website the picture was small - tried changing the Zoom size , tried Zoom Reset - the text did change size but the layout distorts - found under View - Zoom - Zoom Text Only was checked --- Removed this check mark and the website returned to normal size and Zoom worked normally again. I am 99.9999% sure I did NOT check this myself and there is no one else on the computer to cause it. Maybe this will help.
