"Edit photo - Using Full Screen"

Am I missing something? This hot tip seems to be nonsense:
"Automatically open photos full screen on double click
To make it easier to view your photos in glorious full screen, go the General area of the iPhoto preferences. There you can choose to "Edit photo - Using Full Screen". This will allow you to view any photo in full screen simply by double clicking its thumbnail in the organize view."
There is no such Using Full Screen option when I go to the General area of Preferences....
Any hints?

For no apparent reason, my laptop starting opening my photos, when I double clicked on them, in my printer editing program. For the past couple of years, it always opened up in the iPhoto large screen editing option. Don't know why it suddenly changed. (I had not yet upgraded to iPhoto6). Thank you for telling me where to make the change. It works. I like the option of the two large black arrows below the main photo, so that I can go from one to another while the photos are still large and also stay in the iPhoto program.
I hope "caliban" found that option and corrected his problem.

  • Adjusted photos in full screen mode show digital garble over image

    Since installing iPhoto08 viewing photos in full screen mode is very disappointing and frustrating. Some images will appear with this (for lack of a better term) digital garble over half or the full photo. Sometimes by switching to the next or previous image it will correct itself. It seems to happen only with photos I've adjusted. This never happened with iPhoto6 that I upgraded from. These photos are all 8 mpix, my mac is a G5 2.0 with 2 GB RAM. I've also noticed that the over all perfomance of adjusting the photos is very slow as well. I posted the image here www.capacitornetwork.com/iPhotoDigitalGarble.jpg. Compare the left and right halves (The photo was originally shot B&W). Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you checked the HD with Disk Utility to see if it needs repairs? Not disk permissions but the disk itself. Also delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. A corrupt preference file has been known to cause some strange problems. It's worth a try.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I have recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I am now unable to use full screen mode when watching you tube. i've never had this problem before.

    i can't think of anything else to add. i've always been able to use full screen mode in firefox, it still works on vimeo and it still works on NEtflix..

    What happens when you try to use full screen mode -- button is ineffective, video doesn't display, etc.?
    By the way, Adobe has issued a couple of security updates recently, so you might want to update your Flash plugin.

  • Use Mac while HDMI is using full screen

    Hello,
    I am trying to use the HDMI port to show something full screen on the tv using quickplayer, but would also like to use the Mac screen to use pages, is this possible?
    many thanks,

    Running Mavericks, yes:
    Full screen applications
    With Mavericks, you can use full screen apps on each display independently. Open an app full screen on one display. On your other display, open an additional app as either windowed, or full screen.
    To switch between full screen apps, move your pointer over to the app and click. You can also use Mission Control or press Command-Tab to change your focus.

  • Rmbp crushes when using  full screen with Aperture

    I already updated my rmbp to Mountain Lion and updated my Aperture with the latest version.
    My rmbp crushes in full screen after I use the Quick Brushes tool. My rmbp shows a message in four languages and restarts...
    But if I don't use full screen everything is ok...

    The message in four languages indicates a "kernal panic".  These crashes are system wide, and should be avoided.
    Unfortunately, that's all I can offer.  You might search for "Aperture full screen kernal panic".  As this seems to be repeatable, you should submit a bug report to Apple via "Aperture➞Provide Aperture feedback".
    One small thing: does it happen with no external devices attached (second monitor, mouse, etc.)?

  • How do I get the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

    how do Iget the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

    I went to the link. I selected iPHONE.  There was a big iPhone icon above the comment box -- so I was absolutely, positively on the right page.  I spent five minutes or so crafting a constructive comment as to why I wanted the full photo feature back on incoming calls on iOS7.  Then...i noticed the box below the comment area asked 'What operating system are you on?'.  And the drop down selection list included every operating system since Job's garage days -- but not one single iOS entry.  No iOS entries on an iphone page.  Unless I'm missing something, I think anyone writing a feedback comment is wasting his/her time.

    In Lion-Style FullScreen windows, I can't use command + tab to  quickly switch between in the apps, I must switch to the  app own desktop which is using fullscreen, It's so trouble. I even think this is a flaw in Apple's design.
    So, How can I have use this  feature in others apps such as Google Chrome, Mail, Safari and so on.

  • Trouble viewing photos in full screen and editting

    I'm pretty sure that I uploaded some corrupted files into iPhoto. This action rendered all of my photos useless. I can't view them in full screen mode, and I can't edit them. I can see them as thumbnails though. I have them all backed up (uploaded in Picassa). I tried a whole bunch of things, including many of the things listed here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1425139&tstart=225), but to no avail. I figured if I got rid of the corrupted files it would work, but that didn't fly either. So I took a random picture and uploaded it to a now empty iPhoto and the same problem happened. I have not had any problems with my macbook until now. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Uploading "some corrupted files" into iPhoto will not "render all of (your) photos useless".
    This sounds like you have a damaged database file.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Is this possible? View photos in full screen and navigate using cursor

    Recent convert from PC. Love the mac thus far but this is driving me crazy. What I am trying to do is to view pictures (in a folder) in full screen and be able to navigate either using the left-right cursor or some kind of buttons on the screen. Here's what I did:
    1) Intuitively, I double clicked on one of pics. It brings up Preview. So far so good. Able to view full screen but wait! There's no way to go the the next or previous pics. Ok I get it Preview is supposed to 'simply preview' a doc/pic. It is not a full fledge image viewing application.
    2) Few Googles later, I learned about quicklook. Easy enough, I pressed the spacebar and can see the pictures. Left-right cursor works! But wait! It stops when you view the last picture in the row (i.e. it doesn't go the next row). Huh?
    3) Few Googles later. I learned about using the 'tab' instead. Very nice...I can now browse pics on the next rows...BUT...how do I go back?
    4) Few Googles later. I learned about using the 'shift tab' to go back (now this is getting annoying). Fine, now that I've nailed navigation 101, how do I view the pics in full screen? Quicklook only utilize like 50% of the screen. I don't think it is possible....so back to square one.
    5) More Googles later. I learned about "command a" to select all pictures and then "enter". This will open Preview with all the pictures and presto the left-right cursor works, a left-right icon appears and voila the "full screen" icon is available.
    Can some expert/genius please tell me if I am too stupid to use a Mac or that Windows 7 is indeed a more superior os.

    Thomas thanks. I think we (mostly I) are beating on a dead horse here. I guess I had figured out the answer from the get-go but is simply ranting. Windows may be a crappy os but when it comes to picture viewing, it is more intuitive.
    Now that I've figured out that the "solution" is to select all and then open in preview. Another question came up...what if I want to start viewing and navigating from the middle of the pack? Assuming I have a 100 pics, and I "open" pic 50. Using preview on a single pic wont' let me navigate as you had mentioned. Quicklook allows tab/shift tab but not full screen. The "select all then open in preview" won't cut it since it will start from pic 1. Selecting just pic 50 to 100 then preview works but won't allow you to view pic 49 and before.

  • View photos in full screen

    I'm sure this must have been answered before but I cannot find any references to it so here goes...
    I want to look at my photos...in full screen. Just click *somewhere* and it fills the screen, and then just use arrows to see the next photo. Click again *somewhere* to go back to library mode. Where is that *somewhere*? I thought this was one of the most basic functions but I can't find it

         "How do you get your photos from card to these nicely organized folders of which you speak?"
    I copy files from my card into folders...if I need to make any sort of changes ACDSee handles that very smoothly (although ACDSee has its own frustrating weaknesses, at least the mac version). All my photos are arranged in Year - Place order (eg 2011 - Tasmania) occasionally with subfolders although I tend to avoid that. That works very well for me. They are tagged with Country, State, City, location, keywords and GPS coordinates. Thats all I need to find anything (with LR or other software)
    "The point is that if you can change your thought processes, and put your past experience out of your mind while you learn a new (and potentially better) way of doing things"
    That's all good as long as they are better or at least not worse. There are many ways of doing similar things but there is absolutely no reason to justify complicated and convoluted ways of doing simple things. You would thinks that developers would pick up some hints if there are other software doing things in a better way. All I want is the option to click on a simple button as I don't like to have to remember half a dozen keyboard maneuvers to do a simple and basic thing.

  • Jpeg editing and problem full screen preview

    Hello,
    I am editting some jpegs together to music and in order for my photos to stay sharp, in sequence settings i have kept the compressor and pixel aspect ratio the same as the images when i look at them in item properties.
    So they are compressed by photo jpeg, square and none field dominance.
    The problem is that when i drop new photos into the timeline, they now need to be rendered and im not sure why?
    Also, when i full screen preview on my imac monitor, you can hear the audio but cant see any images until you pause the movie and then the place where you have paused is shown.
    Can anyone please help???
    Regards,
    Michael

    Hello, i change the compressor from photo jpeg to dv pal as didnt have prores lt.   All frame rates and dimensions are the same but i dont really understand field dominance and what progressive means?
    No ProRes? What version are you using? Anyways, using DV might get you some slight problems as it's not exactly square pixels ... but it should be negligible.
    Field dominance tells you which field (a "half frame") is displayed first when playing back interlaced media. Interlaced video does not have full frames but each frame is composed of two fields, each of which has half of the horizontal lines of the full frame. DV's field dominance is upper, all the other interlaced formats are lower field first. If you set the field dominance to "none" in FCP you get a progressive sequence, meaning you'll have full frames.
    You're saying that you changed to DV PAL ... are you in PAL Land? Also you didn't say what your final output will be ... File based? DVD? Web? If there is only one output you should adjust your sequence settings for that.
