Cant get full screen photos

Although my photos will appear full screen in slideshow, they won't otherwise. I have selected show full screen in Preferences and tried the icon for full-screen- but no good. I ger a black screen with a small photo in the centre. Is this simply because the original photos were of a small size and can't be stretched to full screen?
I have today had to rebuild the i-photo library because of another problem (photos wouldn't load). That's now fixed. And, if it's relevant, most of the photos were transferred from my old i-book, although I have without problems imported photos from a camera to this machine and they behave in the same way - eg won't enlarge to full-screen.
imac(intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   i-photo 6.0.2

look down at the bottom of the screen/window. There are several icons. a + to add albums, an "i" to get info, etc. The last one is a screen with arrows pointing in on the corners - try clicking that.
Does that solve the problem?
Its a great view, and I didn't even know it existed.
Thanks!

  • Cant get full screen...

    I am running a mac mini on an LG 42" plasma TV and have tried all the various screen resolutions. My problem is that I have videos which are 624x368 (close enough to accurate 16:9 widescreen video) and these display as a full frame image (no black bars) within the Quicktime viewer. However when i make it full screen Quicktime adds black bars to the top and bottom of the image, therefore squashing it. I assume it is doing this as the macmini thinks the LG TV is 4:3 and needs the black bars to look correct.
    The only 16:9 resolution available on the macmini appear to be 1024x720 but this looks wrong on my TV and you lose the dock and menu bar. I have also tried 1920x1080, but the resolution is too high for the television and the text becomes illegible. So it would seem that the macmini knows it is in the wrong aspect for a widescreen tv and is compensating by adding the black bars top and bottom. But although the resolution is not correct it is fine for computing, and if I could fill the screen with the video image it would then be in the correct aspect.
    So how can I get Quicktime to fill the screen and ignore the fact that the macmini thinks the tv is wrong?

    *Not sure if this will work. May depend on the model of the TV.*
    When I am watching a movie either from a DVD or from the 52" screen non plasma TV itself that has those black bars (top & bottom) I just use Zoom mode to get rid of the bars. My picture is not distorted in any way.
    On my 42" screen plasma TV, I use *Movie Theater* mode to get rid of the black bars. No picture distortion.
    Check your TV manual. Should be some instructions in there for what you are trying to do.

    How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11. It was black in iPhoto 09 and now it's a murky grey. I'm not talking about events or photo view where it's in preferences only full screen photo. Thanks

  • HT1212 any word on getting the full screen photo id back?

    any word on getting the full screen photo id back?

    No. Just provide feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback. Also, you can search and find a number of posts about this. Not necessary to start a new one.

  • HT1245 Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s.

    Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.

    I am also having this issue.
    I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
    I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
    I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
    If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience!

  • Full screen photo as caller ID

    Hi, is there a way to have full screen photo as caller ID even if I have my contacts synced with gmail. Otherwise is there a way to unsync contacts without have them deleted from iPhone?
    Many thanks.
    Ciao, Andrea

    screen caller id photo.
    I found this page:
    http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html
    Which has this information:
    "You can even set incoming calls to display a full-screen image or photo of the caller."
    But, I checked all the options under accessibility, and I can't find a way to do this.
    Like Genuis2000, I have tried setting the photo by:
    1 - Using an existing Photo
    2 - Taking a new photo with the iPhone and using that.
    Either way, it only shows a little thumbnail photo when the person calls.

  • How to get full screen caller pic in ios 7.1

    How to get full screen caller pic in ios 7.1.Please help me

    Haha .. I have seen one million post on this issue since 7.1 was released. Everybody hates it and it is perhaps Apple's stupidest design decision. I, personally, happen to like it ... or not mind it as much either way, I should say.
    But that's not what you asked ... Apple thought it was best for some odd reason to change the full screen pics to an itty bitty circle. As a previous poster said, it cannot be changed. But be sure to go to Apple's feedback website and let them know you are unhappy about it. I sense an iOS 7.1.1 coming out REAL soon!

  • IPhone Cuts off Full Screen Photos in Contact View

    The iPhone can use a full screen photo of a contact (when a call is initiated), if the original is cropped in iPhoto as '2 x 3 (iPhone) / Portrait'. (To set up full screen view on the iPhone, the user must select a contact, tap the 'Edit' button, tap the contact photo, tap 'Edit Photo', tap 'Choose', then tap 'Done'.) However, the same photo is then cropped to a square shape when initially viewed in the Contact screen, often cutting off the person's forehead. A suggestion for improvement would be to have the iPhone use the square cropping settings of the original photo when it was added to Address Book (for initial Contact view), and then use the 2 x 3 settings when the call is initiated to have the photo fill the screen. Anyone have any workarounds?

    Hello
    I have updated my software recently and the full screen default for the web browser is very annoying and causing my phone to slow down badly.
    Has anyone been able to turn the Full Screen web mode default off??
    Or how do you delete a software update.
    Thanks
