Full Screen Mode has letterbox effect

Hopefully this is an easy one and I am just missing something, but when I open a photo in full screen mode it does not fill the entire screen. Instead, there is a title bar on top, an editing bar on the bottom and a fairly large blank area on either side that frames the photo like a letterbox effect on TV.
What am I doing wrong? (In case it matters, the camera used was a Nikon D40.) In the past with iPhoto 09 these photos would fill the entire screen of my MacBook Pro, now, not so much. (My desktop wallpaper, for example, is a photo taken with the same camera, and it fills the entire area of my MBP's screen; how can I get that same effect when I open a photo in iPhoto '11?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's been over a day and a half and no responses. No love for an old friend?
Anyone with any ideas, please reply.
Thanks.

Aperture full screen mode has an annoying imperfection.

Hello I wonder if anyone can help?
I use Apperture 2 for creating a catalogue of my paintings. On the viewer window, when in full screen mode, there is a bright white tiny window on the bottom of the selected image. This little window has two arrows on it.
Is there any way of eliminating or at least fading this window, so that it does not detract from the image?
Thank you
Robin Cecil-Wright.

Thank you RB
When I do what you said it changes the arrows and instead I get details of the photograph. I am attaching a screen shot as you suggested. Well that is I have tried to, but I don't quite know how to !I /Users/robincecil-wright/Desktop/Picture 4.png/Users/robincecil-wright/Desktop/Picture 4.jpg

Disable Full Screen Mode

I've finally gotten my mother-in-law comfortable with her Mac and now Full Screen Mode has thrown her for a loop. She will inadvertently go into Full Screen and then never remembers how to get out of it.
Is there a way to set System Preferences so that none of the applications will go into full screen mode?

I can't find one either, like many new Lion features this only gets activated by accident and its a struggle each time to make it go away.

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

Safari has stopped allowing me to enter full screen mode. Why?

Safari will not allow me to enter full screen mode. This is a new occurrence as it has always worked before. When I either click on the two arrows on the top right of the browser or go to View > Enter Full Screen the browser makes a sound and remains the same. How do I fix this problem? And why would this have happened in the first place? Thank you.

First try resetting Safari by clicking "Safari", then "Reset Safari..." in third section. Make sure everything is checked except for saved passwords, auto fill or history/top sites for they are unnecessary. If this doesn't work, try emptying the cache by clicking "Safari", "Empty Cache...", then click ok.

How do you exit a game from full screen mode when the game has crashed?

Hey there
There has seriously got to be a better way of exiting a crashed game than just turning the power off.
I sometimes play Sims 3 on my mac, and we all know that Sims 3 is the most poorly coded game out there, so it crashes a lot. I don't understand how you can get out of the full screen without switching the machine off the wrong way.
I have tried every single keyboard command people say to exit full screen mode, but they don't work when the game has crashed! In fact pressed every single button on the keyboard to try and exit, but nothing works.
On Windows it's so simple, you press the start button on the keyboard, but on a mac it doesnt work.
So any help to what i can do?
Thanks

Force quit just the game itself.
Command + option + esc
It's like control + alt + delete on Windows.

Visualizer has stopped working in full screen mode

Hi, since getting the 10.2/10.2.1 updates my full screen visualizer has stopped working. It works inside the iTunes window but when I make it full screen it just shows me a freezed frame of the visualizer, it does not move.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks!

I have the same issue.... after going to full screen to windowed and then back to full screen it does plays normally.... won't Apple ever say anything about this?!? I'll have to downgrade to ver. 9 this way....

Photoshop CS5: border in full screen mode

I ran this by in the User forums. Now I think I should file it as a bug.
I use full screen mode in PS. It's important to me,especially when I take screenshots.
Photoshop CS5 shows a border in full screen. Something CS4 or even Bridge CS5 doesn't do. I've attached an example:
My video card is not detected by CS5 (or CS4) so the GPU options are grayed out in Preferences. I could shut off aero...but I like the functions it provides and I don't think I should switch in and out for one program. If any of the programmers here look at the situation....I'd like to know if they can fix it in a future update release.

Aperture in full screen mode seems to crash MacBook Pro with Retina

To anyone who has an idea;
I have a brand new (couple months old) 15" MacBook Pro w Retina (16GB RAM, 2.3GHz i7) and I can repeatedly crash it just by running Aperture in a full screen mode and flipping through the photos (I have 21000+ photos and I was cleaning them so it required a lot of flipping back and forth, deleting but no editing). It appears as if it was running out of RAM and not releasing it back. I have all the latest updates installed (always) and I know this is not related to my machine since within the first week of having it I noticed a dent on my screen and Apple sent me a brand new machine. I could replicate this behaviour on both machines.
To mitigate the restarts, I use FreeMemory Pro app set at "freeing" RAM once it drops to 4GB but if I push the Aperture too fast (and I do not mean major editing but just simply going through many photos in full screen mode, viewing them), I still crash it.
I was wondering if there is anyone else with something similar and if you have any tips. I have reported it to Apple.

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same hard- and software configuration like you, Gordito73 - up to date of course as well. Aperture continues to crash after it really seams to run out of memory while editing lots of photos with many different effects. -.-

Full Screen Mode - not "Full" on MacBook Pro w/30" Display

I'm using a 15" MacBook Pro (early 2011) OS 10.7.2 w/Photoshop 12.1 x64. I'm using a 30" Cinema Display. When I select Full Screen with Menu Bar Mode there is a gap at the bottom of the screen where the desktop is visible. I also notice that the Rotate View Tool is not available when the 30" display is in use with MacBook, although it IS available when I work from the MacBook screen. (Open GL Mode - Normal is selected in PShop Prefs) Any fixes for this?
I also work at another studio which has a MacPro running PS 12.1x64 on a 30" display. The full screen mode & Rotate View both work properly on that system.
Perhaps someone will insist that this is a question for the Apple forum, but I'm guessing that forum will insist that I start here. So here goes. Thanks.

Full screen mode with two displays ?

I use a second Apple Display with my iMac. When you enter into "full screen" with an app with Lion does it only become full screen on one of your displays leaving the other screen un-effected? Or, does it black out the other screen?
When you are in full screen mode can you place windows from the full screen app on the other display that is not in full screen mode?
Thanks.
Eli

@captfred.
I'm still running 10.6.
I find it strange that iPhoto 8.1 has the ability to enter full screen without disabling or effecting the other display. You can even take a separate iphoto window, the effects window for example, and drag it to the other display. All while in full screen mode. Does this functionality disappear in Lion?
Is this behavior app specific?

Aperture screwing with brightness in full screen mode

For some reason whenever I go into full screen mode Aperture keeps adjusting the brightness of my images. Every time I do anything it first looks "normal" then the brightness gets jacked up a few percentage points. When I turn on the Loupe, the image shown inside the loupe is darker (as it should be) as this odd "auto brightness" effect doesn't show up there. When not in full screen mode this doesn't happen. Saving the photo results in the correct image as well. So long story short this is only happening in full screen mode.
I tried disabling the "On screen proofing" but it doesn't seem to have an effect. This is driving me nuts because I have no way to see the ACTUAL image until I save it! Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Another update: I changed my external display to "default" in ColorSync Profiles as recommended in another thread, still have the same problem.
I have now noticed that this phenomenon only occurs when the image being displayed on screen has to be scaled down to fit - so apparently there is something going on with Aperture's image preview being created on the fly?

"Press esc to exit full screen mode" stays on screen, wont disappear, I have to refresh page many times

Windows 7
using firefox
adobe flash player 16.0.0.305
I have tried many things and with this new computer build I did not want to try any of the 3rd party fixes for this issue. I see a ton of posts regarding this issue some referring to the problem as the creator of the game or video, some referring to Why is this still an issue why hasn't this been fixed its been years.....
So I am starting a new discussion as I cant find any relevant in time fixes for my issue all I see is over two years old with no real fixes for the issue. So I hope I am just missing it.
Anyways here is the issue I would love to just disable it make it go away entirely. I know I need to press esc to exit full screen mode. Most of the time it does disappear and that would be fine too but while I am watching hulu videos in my queue and escaping between full screen mode and normal mode to add next show to queue and then going to next show in queue sometimes I have to refresh the page to make the bubble disappear.
Is there anything I can do? and I quote many users before me in stating "Why is this stilll an issue?"

Hmmm lets see well in reply to your answer and comments. I only use firefox. I wrote an app about 6 months which without any user intervention could really mess up chrome. I could download passwords from chrome unencrypted so I do not use chrome I avoid it like the plaugue. Internet Explorer kind of the same issue but in reverse seems to be pretty secure but huge and klunky. So I only use firefox. I just refreshed it which fixed an issue I was having with a sign on issue with swagbucks ext add on not remembering who I am and so on. I will see if this has any effect.
To continue on this issue though if you know hulu at all. If I pick the next show I want to watch manually, which would technically load a new web page as a "refresh" It always disappears, However if I use the queue option or auto watch mode I really don't know how to properly discribe this. If I just let it finish a show and it automatically picks the next show. Then I assume that flash player programming is causing the web page change and so somehow yes the webpage changes but the "refresh" does not occur or inother words the flash player keeps running doesn't get refreshed and over time several things occure. If i watch about 5 shows in this automated matter flash starts to really eat up my memory and then the esc message starts to not disappear.
Also randomly I can not tell which ads cause this of course, I would love to be able to give you or hulu more info but There is an add that gets ready to play during a show. This add causes my antivirus to throw a fit and blocks it, then flash player crashes I would assume because of the failure to load the add and play it.
I understand your description of why it is the way it is and that makes since. But for us wire cutters or cable cancelers, I watch tv through online use and for whatever reason flash is the only option. and having to get off my couch and go over to my computer to refresh the webpage and or reload cause of crashes is getting old.

Lightroom launches in full screen mode on iMac

LR has just started to launch in full screen mode on my iMac without any opportunity to minimize it or move to another program. I would like it to launch like it used to where I can control the window size but can't seem to figure out how to get back to that capability. I have an iMac running Mountain Lion. LR is the only program effected as Photoshop still launches the old way.

The "F" key cycles through screen modes.

Flash crashes using Firefox in full screen mode

When trying to view videos full screen I get a message that Adobe has crashed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe and Firefox using the current versions. This problem does not seem to appear with IE.

The problem in my case appears self imposed. I had previously changed my visual effects settings to best performance. After changing the visual effects settings back to "Let Windows choose..." all my problems with the adobe crashing in full screen mode were resolved. Thanks to jscher2000 for your input.
