Colors different in full screen view

I could as well post this under "Mac OS X", but I think here in the Aperture forum it is more likely to get help.
I have the following problem: when viewing images in full screen mode, their colors are different than in the normal windows mode. The difference is not subtle, but severe. For example blue skies have a lot more red and appear much more saturated.
While trying to narrow down this problem I found out the following (and here it starts to get really strange): I exported one image as a JPEG to the desktop to see what the colors would be. The thumbnail then had the oversaturated colors of the full screen view in Aperture. When clicking on it, Preview showed the correct colors with a normal blue sky. When switching to slideshow mode in Preview, again the oversaturated colors from Aperture full screen came up.
When I disconnect my 23" Cinema Display, the full screen view of Preview shows the same colors on my PB like in window mode. So I believe it has something to do with my 23" CD.
Can anybody come up with a good explanation for this behaviour? Could this be some kind of a profile problem?
Any help appreciated

I read Zausel's post that referred to the Colorsync Utility. Under the Devices tab I was able to see both my monitors and confirm they were both assigned the proper profile (they were). There is an option to "Make Default Display" in this utility. I noticed it was defaulting to the Color LCD of the MacBook Pro. I had already set my 23" to my main screen in the display control panel by dragging the menu bar to the big screen in the layout tab. I selected the 23" screen in Colorsync Utility and selected it as the "Make Default Display". Now my full screen previews are accurate. Aperture must use the display profile for normal view screens, thumbnails, light table, but change to the default display profile when it does full screen. (previously, it was using the profile for the 15" MBPro screen for full screen views; thus the inaccurate color) Now everything is in sync and my color looks good on the big display in both normal view and in full screen. Hope this helps someone else.

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.

Levels, full-screen view, File Move

I'm coming from PSE7 and want to update due to lack of raw support for a new camera. I'm currently trying out LR4 (as well as PSE10) and hope to found out how (or, whether it's possible) to do some things I've used a lot in PSE:
- Auto-Levels / Auto-Color / Auto-contrast? (I tried Auto Tone; in my limited experience it works brilliantly maybe 1 out of 5 times, and makes an overexposed mess of the rest. :-)
- File Move? I'm used to using Folder View in PSE to select and move pictures from a single import folder to chronological & subject-based folders in the library. (My library isn't keyworded; I got started using a chrono folder structure and it's worked fine for me.)
- Full screen view? What I've found so far: switch to Loupe view, "F" to maximize the LR window, Shift-Tab to hide all the GUI surrounding the image, "T" to make the grey toolbar below the image vanish - 3 steps and still there's ~3/8 inch black space on at least 2 sides of the picture. (Impromptu Slideshow is no better). Conversely, in PSE you just hit F11 and it switches to a fitted view where the image truly fills the screen in at least one direction. Is there really no way to do this in LR?
I'm really impressed with the editing capability but the fullscreen view issue might is frustrating, possibly a dealbreaker for me. (OTOH PSE10 has crippling performance in Folder View, so I have a tough choice...)
Or am I perhaps missing something, and these functions are here in LR? Thanks!

My novice impression persists - I feel that LR is like a great sportscar, but with the random missing bolt in say, the steering or shift mechanism...
I came from PSE to Lightroom myself. Of course, there is a learning curve, you and I both wanted everything to be as identical as possible between the two programs, as they both were made by Adobe. But the programs aren't identical, they are quite different. And while I can see how there are features in PSE that might help in LR, I would never go back. I accept that LR won't fill my screen, and that's ok with me. I accept that there is no auto-fix in LR, and that's ok with me too, because I think (based on my experience) I can produce a better photo than any "auto" can do.
Regarding auto-fix ... many people create presets for specific situations. For example, if you are shooting photos in a studio and in general you'd like a little more contrast and make the color temperature a little more yellow, you can set up the preset to do that so you never have to. Similarly, in my case, I shoot a lot of old buildings and landscapes, and my photos always need more contrast, a little vibrance, some sharpness, a little color adjustment, a certain camera profile and a partridge in a pear tree, so I have a preset to do that. It's not auto fix, its actually quite different, but it leaves me with many fine photos that need little else. As I said, its different, but it is useful in its own way.
Since you use the analogy to a car "random missing bolt in say the steering of shift mechanism", I will use one as well. Not keywording your photos seems to me like buying a Porsche, and then choosing to never go beyond 2nd gear. You are missing a huge amount of the power of the Library Module.

How to get back to Full Screen View?

I have been opening images of one of my iPhoto albums in Full Screen View adding four or five more images from the thumbnails row to see them simultaneously. So they appeared in a smaller size to fit the screen. But now whenever I want to open one of the images of this album in Full Screen View they only show in the smaller size in the Full Screen View window. I cannot get them back to real Full Screen size. Is there a simpel button that I have overlooked or what else could be the problem? Thanks for any help.
Moriaan

Yes I have, the slider can go to the max, the image becomes bigger but does not go to the full Full Screen View. When I try an other image from this same album the same thing happens again, in a flash it opens big (full screen) but instantly goes to a smaller size. Even though I open only one image it takes on the size as though it had to share the full screen with five other images. However if I open an image from a different album everything works oke, I press the Full Screen View button and I get the full screen as it should be. Only this particular album where I opened several images in one Full Screen View before gives this problem.

F 12 NOT GIVING FULL SCREEN VIEW.

View external video all frames, used to give me instant full screen view of image in FCP...won't do it now.
Also ??? why are some of my sequence setting differing within one project???
Have one with 1280 720 29fps apple pro res and then another with different frame rate 59fps with apple intermediate codec.
Can one take fooatge from one seq. and take another seq that doesn't match, and make a new seq. and give it the same settings.....Obviously i have messed up somewhere, new camera and all???
Thankyou for any suggestions? and slap on wrist..some of this is difficult.

FCP 7? You need to be in the Final Cut Studio forum. This forum is for Final Cut Pro X.

The HUD Inspector in Full Screen View seems to position at the right margin of the image as a default(?) If I toggle the button in the top right of the HUD it 'unlocks' and I can drag it to where I prefer -- at the left margin; (for over a decade) my doc

The HUD Inspector in Full Screen View seems to position at the right margin of the image as a default(?) If I toggle the button in the top right of the HUD it 'unlocks' and I can drag it to where I prefer -- at the left margin; (for over a decade) my dock has resided at the right margin so all my slider manipulation over countless editing sessions in Aperture has been ingrained to work at the left margin -- but, the vast majority of the time, the HUD overlaps the image I am editing in this 'unlocked' mode.
Every occasionally I enter Full Screen View and it positions on the left margin *without* superimposition...(!) My great joy is modulated into aggravation, however, should my tracking cursor drift all the way 'out of bounds' -- to call in the hidden pane of adjacent images sequenced in the library... This dramatically shrinks the Full Screen display and re-locks the HUD; if I toggle the switch to re-xpand the image it re-positions at the right margin!!!! I SOOoooooo wish I knew how to control the default 'locked' margin of the HUD in Full Screen View...

Drag it over to the Left. Then lock it there.

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.

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.

How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
Thank you!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
(I'm on iLife '09.)
Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.

How can I exit from full-screen View?

On the View menu, I clicked "Full screen View", but then I couldn't find any way back to normal view. I had to Force-Quit Firefox to escape.
How do you exit from Full Screen View?

Thanks, PeterR

Try F11.

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.

Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer: Full screen view of lower quality than with PSE 10 and before?!

Upgrading from PSE 10 to 11, I noticed that when I watch my images with the organizer in PSE 11 in full screen view mode (F11), while the images load faster, they are shown in a lower quality than in PSE 10 or any other version of PSE that I owned before. In PSE 11, after the initial viewing in full screen (in the "fit screen" mode), when I click with the mouse on an image to display the "100%" view, there is a delay and the program says "Loading...", after which the 100% view in the full screen mode appears. When I then click another time with the mouse on the image to get back to "fit screen" mode, I get an image of better quality than during the initial view!
So it seems like the program first gives a faster, but lower quality view of the image in full screen mode, and only after the user requests a 100% view, it actually loads the image with full detail, which is then preserved when going back to the "fit screen" view. This is a serious issue for me, because I also use PSE organizer to present my pictures to other people, and I don't want to show them some lower quality versions of my images, but the full quality ones, without having to first choose "100% view" and then go back to "fit screen".
How can I make the PSE 11 organizer give me a full-quality full screen image right away, as this used to be the case in PSE10 and before?
(I have both versions, PSE 11 and PSE 10, now on the same computer and tested this to confirm that the PSE 11 initial full screen view is of lower quality than the PSE 10 one. Also in PSE 10, there is practically no delay for displaying the "100%" view afterwards, indicating that the image was loaded with full detail right away.)

- Update:
* Adobe's senior support level has replied to me about this issue as follows:
"Thank you for contacting Adobe.
When you press the F11 button, Organizer 11 uses the Bicubic
interpolation mainly because it is less processor intensive compared to
Bicubic Sharper, and it helps to create the preview on the fly, rather
than based on the thumbnail cache.
When you zoom out from the 100% view, Elements Organizer uses Bicubic
Sharper. This is because Bicubic Sharper is used for image reduction, so
if the 100% view is larger than the available screen space, it will need
to shrink. The Bicubic Sharper images may look more crisp however, Like
any sharpening algorithm, Bicubic Sharper introduces halos and
edge-enhancement artifacts. Those halos are typically slight, but any
further sharpening (which you'll need when preparing an image for print,
for example) will exaggerate them.This is expected behavior. The
Organizer isn't great for determining exact quality, I recommend you to
use Elements Editor for this purpose.
Thank you,
Bobby Johnson,
Adobe Technical Support."
* My reply on this to Adobe is:
"Hello Bobby,
thank you for your reply. Now at least we are talking about the same thing.
Why I am wondering about the choice to use the "Bicubic" algorithm when pressing F11 in PSE 11 is that all previous versions of PSE that I owned (which spans from PSE 6 to PSE 10) did use the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm right away when pressing F11. So apparently Adobe didn't worry about processor intensity of this algorithm then, and computers are getting all the time more powerful.
It is true that in some situations, the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may introduce halos and edge-enhancement artifacts, as you write. On the other hand, especially on smaller resolution screens, the results of the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may look more crisp and lively, while the ones of the "Bicubic" algorithm may look more flat and lack fine detail. This is not only my personal opinion, but as I have brought up this topic in several forums, I can see that I am not alone here.
So assuming that the question about preferring "Bicubic Sharper" or "Bicubic" as a default algorithm when pressing F11 is partly a matter of taste, and partly a matter of the hardware the user has available, why can Abobe not give the user an option to choose which one he/she would prefer? For instance, F11 gives full screen view with "Bicubic" applied, and CTRL+F11 with "Bicubic sharper"? Or make this an option in the preferences?
As I am using the PSE organizer also to present pictures to other people (and I know many people who use it that way too), I would like to show them my pictures as sharp and detail-rich as possible. Therefore, I would highly appreciate an option as described above to be implemented in the PSE 11 organizer via an update. It should be fairly easy from a programming point of view, since both algorithms are already contained in the program anyway."
* If you support this suggestion of mine as stated above, please also contact Adobe accordingly! The more support requests they get for this, the more likely it is that they will implement this update! You may mention my case number 0184046323 for reference.

How to get a true "full screen" view without the edit tools? The help manual promises such a view.

How do I get a true "full screen" view in the new version of Iphoto without the edit tools showing? Weirdly enough, the help manual promises such a "full" view, which was always available in my earlier version of Iphoto.
Thanks, in advance.
