Full screen zoom?

I have an iMac with Lion.  I was holding shift (or control) and my whole screen zoomed in.  Now I can't even see the apple menu because it's off screen, nor can I see my icons at the bottom of the screen.  How do I zoom back out?  Double tapping doesn't seem to work for full zoom.

Hi appleactor
Hope you're enjoying your first Mac! I found the same issue when I first switched a couple of years ago. The X vs. XP site provides the reasoning behind Apple's choice (http://www.xvsxp.com/interface/maxvszoom.php), and I now actually prefer working without full screen windows - makes much more sense once you get used to it

  • How can I turn off the new "full screen zoom"?

    Man, horror of horrors: Apple seems to have suddenly (with 10.8.2?) activated a terrible "full screen zoom" feature which makes a window zoom to maximum size if I happen to move the window along the top of the screen. Several times per hour I accidentally make my windows full screen, even tiny graphics I happen to be working with in Photoshop, and it's one of the worst UI changes Apple has rolled out since they tried to force all function keys to only work as volume, brightness etc.
    So, does anyone know a way to get the "force window to jump to full screen" option to go away?

    I'm not aware of the behavior you're describing. I've never seen it, and just tested it for myself. I cannot get windows to zoom to full screen just from moving them to or along the top of the screen. Is this only happening in Photoshop? If so, it may be a Photoshop issue. If not, have you installed any kind of third-party software that might be doing that? Try rebooting in safe mode and see if the problem persists then. If it doesn't, but comes back when you reboot normally, the problem is caused by some third-party software you have installed.

  • Full screen zooming in OS X Lion

    Running recent model (non-Thunderbolt) i7 iMac and after the Lion install I can't do a full screen zoom. Tried every combination in Universal access and mouse settings, but I can't duplicate what I loved so much about the previous OS X versions (and have sold a heck of a lot of Macs to friends and co-workers based on simply thowing this zoom feature). I have a Magic Mouse and the Mouse dialog states something about holding a modifier key with the "scroll wheel"
    I hope this is fixed or someone has a workthrough. When I fire

    Hm. I'm using a Macbook Pro, and I can zoom using multi-touch just fine, though I might be interpreting your question incorrectly. Say for instance on the Safari window I'm typing in, I can zoom in on text and whatnot without the menu bar and all that zooming. Are you referring to zooming everything as a whole? After I send this I'll take a look, because I think I did that at some point when I was using the GM seed.
    ^The person above me figured it out, thanks for reminding me as well!

  • When using multiple displays, is it possible to only have full screen zoom (universal access) only effect one display?

    I am visually impaired which makes it difficult for me to use computers. The zoom feature in Mac OS is extremly useful to me and is the first reason I choose mac over windows. Although, now that I've been using a mac for 8 years, I would pick a mac any day! For my work flow, I utilize two displays. It would help me greatly if there was a way to only effect one display with the zoom feature.
    Thank you for your input,
    Zachary

    You can set the zoom to ONLY follow your mouse (And adjust the size of the "zoom window" that follows it). I used to use this with Quick time Editing when I had a 13" iMac.

  • Spacebar full screen zooms into 800%

    When I do a slideshow Ctl+L or just hit space bar after selecting a thumbnail and then left click on large image, it zooms to 800%.
    Any way of getting it back to 100% like CS4? to check sharpness?

    Thanks
    Just update video card driver but it still zooms into 800%.
    Never used to in CS4

  • Screen zoom on an external monitor over Airplay is broken

    I just updated to Mavericks and noticed that I have lost functionality. I mirror my MacBook Pro to an external Sharp monitor using Airplay. While I am mirroring and zoom in on my screen, my screen will zoom but not the external monitor. In 10.8 this worked perfectly. Does anybody have ideas for how to enable this or a workaround?

    Here is what I just made work for me - and it isn't perfectly what I want, but at least my students will be able to see what I am coding.
    In the Accessability Panel's Zoom settings I changed from Full Screen to Picture-In-Picture style zooming.
    This works, but I would rather have a full screen zoom.
    A side note: The cursor size, and grey scale work, but the color inversion and high contrast settings do not work on the mirrored display.
    It seems strange.

  • Iphone full screen

    I'm trying export video so that it will always be full screen, zoomed out or not on the iphone/ipod touch. High quality the video will not be streamed.
    I'm using Final Cut Studio 2
    thanks in advance!!

    the UiStatusBarHidden boolean in the Info.plist has to be set to "true"

  • None of your solutions described work to get full screen back to smaller

    I made my firefox full screen and now cannot get it back to how it was. I tried suggestions written of menu bar, clicking full screen- just stayed full.
    I tried ctrl -, nothing.

    Note that on Mac you use Command+Shift+F to toggle full screen mode.

    Zooming a web page only effects its content and not the window size.

  • Can a SWF file resize in the PDF when user zooms or goes 'full screen'?

    Hi,
    I've got some animation in my Indesign file which I've exported as a SWF and brought back in to InDesign.
    I then create the Interactive PDF. It has a white background, so I select it in Acrobat and got to PROPERTIES and give it a transparent background.
    BUT, when I go full screen or above 75% - the SWF shrinks on page.
    The users of this PDF will need to zoom in, or go full screen. I really need the SWF to be resizing as the user goes full screen, or views it however they choose.
    Is there a way to set the SWF to resize with the PDF?

    Let me guess. You’re using InDesign CS5 and never bothered to install any of the patches.
    Download and install 7.0.4.

  • Pan and Zoom in a Windows instead of Full Screen?

    Hi,
    Tried using the Pan & Zoom and found it very difficult to work with. I had an image I wanted to be displayed on the screen but I only wanted it to use 1/3 of the screen. I sized the image and then went to pan/zoom. The image re-sized to full screen and then from there I could use the tool. Is there a way to use this tool but have the image remain the same size I set previously?

    protivakid
    What are you now using for pan and zoom? Is it the Premiere Elements 12 Pan and Zoom Tool under Tools Menu?
    For starter, please take a look at the Steve Grisetti free video tutorial on the basics of using the Premiere Elements Pan and Zoom Tool as found in versions 11 or 12.
    http://www.lynda.com/Elements-tutorials/Creating-motion-path-Pan-Zoom-tool/109763/117259-4 .html
    If that does not help, we can go into more details, those specific to your particular requirements.
    If all else fails, you can always go the non Pan and Zoom Tool route for your pans and zooms. To do that, you would keyframe the Motion Scale property (Zoom) and the Position property (Pan). See Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to reveal its properties which include Scale and Position.
    Please review and consider and let us know what supplemental information you need.
    Thank you.

  • Magnify/Zoom missing in Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer Full Screen Mode?

    Am I missing something or has the abilty to magnify a picture been dropped from the full screen organizer mode in Photoshop Elements 8?
    If so this is a serious regression. This means you can't zoom the picture up enough to examine the quality of multiple shots of the same subject. The only alternative is to go into full edit mode which takes a long time if you have any significant number of pictures.
    Anyone figured a way around this?

    Overall I like Full Screen view of 8th versio of Elements...
    Here are all the things Adobe broke in PSE 8 Full Screen view:
    - With a larger catalog (12K files), it takes 16 seconds to open an image in Full Screen view, several times slower than in PSE 7.  (In Bridge and most other programs, it takes less than a second.)  This is due to a bug in PSE, where it needlessly accesses the catalog database tens of thousands of times.
    - With a larger catalog, when you first open Full Screen view, it loses keyboard focus.  So if you want to use the right-arrow key to move to the next pic, you must first use the mouse to click anywhere on the screen.
    - The settings for Toggle Quick Organize Panel and Toggle Quick Edit Panel are not sticky. So if you want to make them completely disappear so they don't overlap your beautiful photo (is is full screen view, after all), you have to toggle them off each time you enter the view.  This is a step back to PSA 1 and 2, which always floated a toolbar above your photo.
    - The tag cloud in the Quick Organize panel is completely useless if you have more than a dozen or two tags -- you'll be scrolling forever looking for a keyword in the flat list.
    - The Tag Media text box in the Quick Organize panel doesn't do auto-complete on tags you type, defeating the whole purpose of allowing text entry of tags (that is, making it quicker to select from among hundreds of tags).   The Keyword Tags text box in the Organize pane does auto-complete, but I guess the programmer for Full Screen view didn't bother to share that same code?  (Of course, the Keyword Tags text box is seriously buggy as well, but that's a different topic.)

  • IPhoto 6 Unable to Zoom in Full Screen Mode when using projector

    When in full screen mode in iPhoto 6 I am able to zoom quite nicely but when I attach a projector I lose the slide for zooming. How do I zoom in full screen mode when using a projector?
    Mac Book   Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    Given that the zoom works normally, this is not an iPhoto issue. The problem lies in the interaction between your MacBook and the Projector. You might have more luck posting on the MacBook forum

  • Aperture 2.1.4 fails zoom or full screen command

    After installing SL, aperture (2.1.4) can no longer zoom (Z) or go full screen (F) without producing a screen full of junk. In addition, the black point compensation button on the print screen causes a severe magenta color shift. All of this worked fine before the OS upgrade.

    Thank you for trying to help me with the problem. Let me back up a bit further so that you can better understand my problem. Here are some of the problems:
    (1) I had been downloading all my pictures (Nikon D200) into iPhoto. After selecting a few that I would like to make adjustment using Aperture, then only I import versions of it into Aperture. The way I had been importing images is by going into Aperture, go to File show iPhoto, select photos by dragging them into album that I had created in Aperture. Is this the correct way of importing photos from iPhoto into Aperture?
    (2) After making adjustments in Aperture recently, the next day I went back into Aperture to see them, all the pictures in the viewer is replaced by " Unsupported Image Format". Why Aperture let me do all the adjustments if this is unsupported image format? It only tell me this, the next day after I had tried to view all the photos with adjustments that were made earlier?
    (3) Dozens of adjusted photos (versions) from my albums in Aperture had also disappeared. I had not use the vault in Aperture as yet. The question is where are all my adjusted versions being stored? My Aperture Library is shown to be empty! I thought at the very least, all my versions is stored in the Aperture Library. How do I store versions in this library?
    Yes, my workflow may seems convoluted at the moment, using iPhoto as my reference and only dealing with versions in Aperture. The reason for my madness is quite simple ( I thought), I need to understand Aperture really well before importing photos directly into it and bypass iPhoto altogether. With all the problems that I am facing with Aperture at the moment, I am not quite there yet.
    All help is greatly appreciated.

  • Zoom level feedback in full screen...

    Now that the application bar has been dropped from CS6, the zoom level feedback is also gone in full screen mode.
    It would be nice to see zoom level feedback similar to how Pixelmator displays the level with each zoom in or out in the center of the frame.
    The UI device is similar to the feedback that the new crop tool displays to show the changing image size.

    >  I hope Adobe finds some way to bring back the zoom status for you.
    it's really not a big thing, I generally hang around during new releases to make sure there aren't any giant holes to fall into. If this is the worst thing that I can complain about in a new release then Adobe did a good job.

  • I am unable to zoom in or zoom out unless in full screen mode. I have tried with both my scroll mouse and with CRTL - and +

    I am unable to zoom in or zoom out unless in full screen mode. I have tried using my scroll mouse and also using CTRL - or +. This is only in Firefox. it works in IE.

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
