Fit to Screen in an Action

How do I put "fit on screen" in an action. CS5 won't let me record "fit screen" or {ctrl}{0}.
I have a script to fit to screen upon opening a document, but that script is ignored when Bridge runs Image Processor.
So, the other solution would be to reference the fit to screen script from within the action... which I can't figure out how to do either!
Thanks,
Drew

Are you cropping a huge amount off the image, leading to this small result?
Or is the image zooming itself out somehow?  The latter is not something it should be doing (or could be legitimately doing as far as I know).
Is this action of your own making?  Are you willing to share it?  I'm willing to try to reproduce what you're seeing.

  • Open in CS4 Fit to Screen, from Bridge

    Is there a way I can open a RAW file in  ACR, and when I Open Image in CS4, they always open as fit to screen? The default seems to be 33.33%?
    Windows XP and CS4.
    Bob

    Here's how to do that:
    First, create an action in PS to display an image full screen.  My action simply captures clicking the View Menu then Fit On Screen.
    Next...
    Click File > Scripts > Script Events Manager
    In the dialog that opens, check the box at the top to enable events to run scripts.
    In the dialog, set:
    Photoshop Event: Open Document
    Click the Script radio button and then select the action you made to display the image full screen.
    Click Add, then Done.
    Now when you open an image from Bridge (or just from File > Open), it will open and the size will change to full screen.
    Hope this helps.

  • Note on bugs in PSE 9 and question on fit to screen

    Things I don't like or glitches in 9 that I never had in Elements 5:
    Undo goes to last layer, NOT to last action. Really annoying when I'm trying to stay on the layer I'm on!!
    Icons on organizer are all orange. Every. Single One. Not at all helpful for tags & categories. I found the icon folders after, oh, about half an hour, but can't figure out how to get more icons. I can get orange, blue, red, and green. No purple nor any of the old ones from 5. I guess this is a question, if anyone knows how to make these icons useful rather than boring and uesless.
    Help search from the top tab is not for PSE 9, and the suggested answers all go to earlier editions!!! This is really bad.
    Last, I can't move the image in the window space. This is kind of basic, to use maximum real estate. In 5, when I enlarged the image with the navigator, the whole image, plus any grey margin, enlarged. It still enlarges, but the outline around it stays the same!! So all you see is 3 big inches, when you need 6 inches to see the image! Then you have to stop and manually drag the outline to match the size of the image. So time-consuming.
    Another size problem is that for some reason I can't deselect the Project Bin in the Windows tab. The check mark is always there. That means that there is always 1.5 inches or so in the bottom I could use, but Fit to Screen STOPS where the project Bin used to be. Again, I have to drag the whole outline down to work on the image.
    Enlarging the box outline to match the image is basic geometry that should have been figured out in Elements 1, not in 9.Since this happens before you even start work on the image, it ruins the experience from the start.
    Any suggestions on fixing the icons or deselecting the project bin or automatically sizing to fit screen gratefully appreciated.

    I was on the phone for 5 minutes short of 3 hours - about an hour was on hold. I decided to limit my complaints to 2: the orange tags that are the only color now for Organizer tags & categories (3 other colors, but can't add colors or shapes of icons) and the problem with fit to screen. They had me download an app so that they could see everything on my computer. I'd never done this before, and was a little nervous, but also desperate. For each time they moved I had to give permission, so you have some control.
    They know about the organizer tag problem. No solution yet. The more people complain, the better. They have issued some updates, so they can update this if they WANT to. One guy suggested that asking for more than 5 icons is a "request" but I insisted that it is a BUG! No one can organize their images into just 4 or 5 categories!
    I talked to 3 guys before any of them could fix the full image problem, so it pays to be persistent and keep asking. To answer you, Barbara, yes, you can make the Project Bin disappear totally if you're in Float mode (and also unattach it, or move it to Panel Bin - I was in Float mode, and didn't know it. In fact, even the words of the tab Project Bin will disappear.  In that mode, Fit to Screen will always stay ABOVE where the PB would be - about 1.5 inches from bottom.
    The guy who helped finally had me remove the entire folder inside Adobe, and it built a new one, without Preferences. (I don't know why he couldn't just check Default mode, but he didn't) I had checked Allow floating documents in Preferences. Why not? Well, the screen behaves differently, if the images are floating - they just won't use the full edit space unless you drag and push them all over.
    The default Normal mode will center the image fairly big. Then in Window uncheck PBin. The image will center itself again, but will not get any bigger, even with the extra space. Go up to View, Fit to Screen, and then it will fill the whole space!
    I really think there shouldn't be a Floating mode preference there at all - it was very problematic.

  • Movie that will automatically open in "fit to screen" view mode?

    I'm wondering if it's possible to save a video in quicktime pro that will, when opened in any normal version of quicktime, automatically open in the "fit to screen" view option. In the visual settings tab of the movie properties, there is an option to automatically open into full screen, but this isn't what I want - I want it to open in the normal (non-fullscreen) quicktime window, but to automatically resize to fit the screen size of the computer it's being viewed on.
    I'm pretty sure that there isn't any easy way to do this, but it's pretty important, so if it requires some scripting or something, that's fine - i'm not a programmer, but i'm willing to do whatever i need to, to make this work.
    Thanks!

    The "Presentation" option is a bit confusing as there are "user" settings that each viewer could have set (double size, Fit To Screen, etc) in the QuickTime preferences and all of them will play with the "on screen" controls feature of version 7. So "full screen" is different because of the dozens of display settings that may be used and the same for "fit to screen".
    If you set the file dimensions too large for a small display setting the viewer will not be able to use the QuickTime controller (it could be "off screen).
    I just checked all my AppleScripts and Automator actions and none include "fit to screen" options. No luck there.
    If you set the movie dimensions (Visual Settings) to the "fit screen" size this would work on your display but maybe not on mine. To do that just open the Movie Info window with your file set to fit screen dimensions, note the size and adjust the file dimensions to those new values and "Save As".
    Easiest method for your workflow would be to send instructions for viewing to the end users.
    Keyboard shortcuts for QuickTime file display:
    Command-0 (zero) = half size
    Command-1 = normal size
    Command-2 = double size
    Command-3 = fit to screen
    Command-F = full screen (presentation mode)

  • "Fit on Screen" CS5

    We have just got two new identical spec computers. We all need to see our images full screen or larger when we're working on them. At the top of almost all my custom PS actions is the menu item "Fit Screen". Or there is the alternative KB command Ctrl + Alt + 0 or the old slow way through the menus to View/ Fit on Screen. Or you can prepare a script that will open every image to "Fit Screen".
    In my experience since Photoshop V4.0 this command has neatly filled the screen. In CS5 with my two new computers," Fit on Screen" gives the expected full screen in one, but significantly reduced in the other. On the % scale, "Fit on Screen" delivers a size around 8% too small regardless of which method I choose. That's enough to irritate.
    Monitor settings are correct and identical as far as I can see, and nothing in PS help or a broader Google  search mentions any adjustability with this.
    I'm obviously missing a tiny checkbox or setting somewhere. Help!
    Thanks & regards,
    Paul Wright

    Zeno you are clearly a genius. I tried the default workspace and bingo! Fit
    to Screen behaves as expected. I had imported a custom workspace from the
    old system which was causing the error. I'll just re-write the custom
    workspace for the new system.
    Thanks & regards,

  • Workspace doesn't fit the screen anymore...

    Hello.
    Since today (and Mac OS X's update I installed this morning, I guess), my Photoshop CS6 workspace doesn't fit the screen of my 12 inch Cintiq (connected to a 2014 Macbook Air).  No matter what I do, it keeps it wrong.
    Trying to set the photoshop window to the whole Cintiq screen with the "green" Mac OS corner button, this is what I get:
    Hitting F won't do the trick, this is what it gets me:
    I tried to clear the Photoshop prefs, without success.  I checked for updates and found there was a Photoshop update I had not yet installed, and I did install it, to no success.  Needless to say, this makes my copy of Photoshop most unusable, which is a really big problem for an illustrator like me.  I really wish I can solve this as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, no results. Still the same.
    If I take my main window and move it up by myself, it's just gonna stay there until the next click somewhere, then it gets back to this wrong placement,.

  • How do I make PDFs OPEN and fit my screen?

    Every time I open a PDF, the document opens larger than my screen. How do I make the document fit the screen I have?
    This is absolutely NOT a zoom problem.
    I have a 15 inch laptop. It has a screen that is about 12 inches wide x 7.5 inches high.
    I open a PDF, and the document opens on my screen so that the entire document is more like 13 inches wide, and 10 inches high. The top menu bar, where I would grab to move, change zoom, enlarge, or, for that matter, CLOSE the document is like 2-2.5 inches OFF the TOP of my screen.
    I can change zoom - it only changes the size of the contents in the window, never the actual window size, and the problem is the window size.
    So the question is, why does PDF even open a window larger than my screen supports, and how do I stop it.
    This is not new - this should by now be a known serious flaw with Adobe Reader and Acrobat and regularly happens with PDFs, and has for years. If I have a second monitor, I can drag the side of the window over onto my second monitor, and then shrink it. But, if I  am traveling, so without my second monitor, it effectively means the only thing I can do with any PDF is right click on the bottom menu bar and "Close all windows"
    Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8. 

    Try clicking the arrows top right  corner of your Safari window or Control + Command + F on your keyboard.

  • Any way to force a PDF file to be opened in "fit to screen" mode?

    Is it possible to force a PDF to open "fit to screen" -- overriding whatever the end user has set as his default viewing preference -- while still allowing said user to zoom in and otherwise modify their viewing mode, AFTER the document has been opened?
    In other words, I'd just like to force the initial state on the reader... not limit them to it after the document has been opened.
    The reason being that most screens today are widescreen, so when you open a LETTER-format PDF file, most of the time you only see the top half. I'd like to force a document to be seen "fit to screen" so as to see ALL of it when opened... then, the user can do what he/she wants with it (and subsequent pages).
    Thanks.

    Hope the information did the job. However, be aware that you might also tick off some users that do not like default settings others like. I would suggest you consider your reason to override the user setting is good before you do it. If you really want a full screen view, maybe a landscape mode might be preferred. In that case, I suspect users would not mind the forcing of a full page.
    You can also force full screen viewing, but such is confusing to some folks that don't think of hitting the ESC key to get out.

  • Why can I not get my windows to fit the screen

    I am not sure what happened today, but in Safari the window does not fit the screen on my Mac Book Pro, even when you click the green + button. What should I do to rectify. I have done a full Shutdown, and still the same.

    One other thing that might be handy:
    You can set the default Safari window size as follows.  Open a new window (command-n). Resize.  Close window.  Subsequent windows should open at that same size.

  • How do I make safari menu bar fit my screen

    I'm a new Mac user on a MacBook Pro with OS Lion and Safari 5.1.  Something has happened so that my windows do not fit the screen (too large) anymore. I have to manually size them everytime I open a new window or program. Additionally the menu title bar across the top of the screen is too long and I have to scroll to see either end. I've gone to preferences and tried to scale it back to where it used to be using the monitor settings but no luck there.  I've looked for something similar to Windows restore to get my screen back to where it was before.  Any ideas what happened and how I can get my title bar to fit across the top without having to scroll.

    Try clicking the arrows top right  corner of your Safari window or Control + Command + F on your keyboard.

  • "Fit on Screen" doesn't

    After upgrading to Photoshop CS5, I find that the "Fit on Screen" command doesn't fit on the visible screen any more in Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar. Instead, the image is centered on the screen, leaving a large open space on the left side and putting the right side of the image well behind palettes docked to the right side of the screen.
    I tried changing the Zoom Resizes Window setting, but it has no effect on this misbehavior.
    The previous version I had of Photoshop did this correctly, fitting the image so that it would be entirely visible.
    What is the fix?

    Here's an example of the problem. Depending on exactly where I place the palettes on the right and whether I dock them or not, Fit on Screen will make the image larger or smaller, but it will always hide the right part of the image behind the palettes.

  • Photos saved to wallpaper are enlarged and don't fit the screen since the new update to iOS 7

    Since the new update, when I try to save a new picture to my wallpaper and background, the photo is enlarged and does not fit the screen anymore.  Please fix!!!!

    A good point, but you'd better send your feedback directly to apple - hre, in a User-to-User Forum, Apple will probably not see it. Use one of the feedback forms:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html
    I prevent the zooming by editing and cropping the photo to exactly the size I want in the Photos.app. In "Edit" mode I view it in Fulls creen, take a screenshot, and then set the screenshot as wallpaper.

  • E-mail won't fit the screen, anyone help?

    Hey all-
    I just "upgraded" (sorry, frustrated with this issue) my Curve to the 9350 and for every e-mail I receive I have to scroll left and right to be able to view the whole e-mail or use the zoom feature on every e-mail to make it fit the screen. 
    Is there a way to have the Curve do this automatically so that I don't have to scroll four directions but just up and down?  My old Curve didn't have this issue.
    Thanks a ton in advance,
    Brad

    Hi PurdueBrad,
    Welcome to the support community!
    Can you please check and tell me what size the font is set to on your BlackBerry Curve 9350 smartphone? You can find this setting in Options > Display > Screen Display. Does changing the font size make any difference in the message display?
    I look forward to your response.

    probably your zoom is on. try double tapping with three fingers on your screen, it should go back to normal and then goto
    settings>general>accesibility>zoom and disable it
