How to FILL the Screen in iPhoto 11

I have a 27" iMac.
I want to FILL the screen in iPhoto like I can with the desktop feature to fill the screen.
The full-screen option in iPhoto only fills about 2/3 of the 27" monitor with aphoto in landscape [versus portrait] orientation. Less than that with portrait orientation. Obviously, the bigger, the better to see, and I would like to take advantage of my monitor size.

Welcom3 to the discussions, smbc.
Although these options exist, an LCD monitor uses real pixels and is really intended to be run at the native (ie maximum) resolution. It will look pretty terrible otherwise.

  • How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it??? At the moment, if I view them on my laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part.

    How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture.  Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!

    Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there. 
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (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 to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2)

    How to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos I included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2). I mean, during playing the burned dvd.
    When I do "Enter Full Screen", the slide show fills the screen but the photo itself remains in the middle with a wide black border filling the rest.
    Any cure for this ?

    Hi
    In iDVD Preferences - Turn off - TV-Safe area - and the Photos will fill the full area with just letterboxing or pillars as max.
    Then "Save as a DiskImage" and test this and see if this plays better - before burning DVDs that's not as You want them.

  • IPhone IOS 7.1 incoming call picture size now small. How can I get it to fill the screen like before?

    Just had the upgrade to IOS 7.1 and now with an incoming call, the associated picture is just a thumbnail, instead of filling the screen.  Anyone know how to change this?  I tried specifically associating a picture on my phone with a contact and trying it, but still was a thumbnail. 

    This change that Apple made is disconcerting.  It shows that whomever is now in-charge of these decisions at Apple doesn't have what it takes.   There's something seriously missing with this decision and the change to less usability is incredibly misguided.   Who wants their contacts to appear in a little cartoon-like round bubble and the incoming caller can't easily be recognized??   As someone who has used a Mac since 1984, there's something seriously wrong with their design guidance.  Apple likes to create products that "delight" and this doesn't.

  • How do I get an iCal "Month" to fill the screen?

    I am new to this. How do I get a view of iCAL, eg, the month of April, to fill my computer screen?

    pergrn,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Drag the iCal window to the upper left corner of the screen and drag the window size bars on the bottom right corner of the window to the full size of the window.
    Click the green button if you want the window to fill the screen, while retaining the mini month view.

  • Photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on.  they fill the screen and then screen goes black.  hasn't happened before.  thanks--

    photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on.  they fill the screen for a second (or less) and then screen goes black.  hasn't happened before.  thanks--

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: 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.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How Can I Change the Size of My Home Page So That It Fills the Screen?

    I have a PowerBook G4. Up until a couple of weeks ago when I opened Safari the home page filled the screen. Something has happened and now it fills only a portion of the screen. I can move the page around, change the size slightly by using the green button next to the minimizing button, but nothing I do will enlarge it to fill the screen. I have gone to View and Preferences, but find nothing to resolve this. Please help!

    You're welcome Maureen. Glad I could help.

  • How can I make iPhone 4S Video's fill the screen when using them in iMovie 11 on My MacBook Pro

    Hey Guys.
    I am a singer songwriter from he UK.... I recently bought an Iphone4s, Ipad and Mac book pro (haha, apple hero, I know). I have always wanted to make the big jump to apple, just was waiting a little while.
    I am thrilled so far, it's all great. But, I use Imovie (i am still getting to grips with it, but the features are amazing) to make videos of me singing coversand original videos for youtube.
    The Camera on the iphone4s is great.
    But, when I import videos into Imovie11, the videos do not fill the screen in their original form.
    In some videos, I use the Ken Burns effect. Now, on the parts of my video when I use this effect, it fills the screen as it should do.
    Why do the videos in their untampered form not do this?  I have tried importing widescreen, original size, and Large, but it alwys sits in the middle of the screen, fairly thin lookin. It fills the screen when it's on my Iphone, I am very lost.
    plesse help.
    thanks.

    if i can offer any more info please just ask

  • Video image after compressor does not fill the screen

    I am trying to convert some videos from DVD to Apple TV. Frame size is 720 x 480. In FCP 5.1.4 when I view the clip in the viewer it looks fine, widescreen with black bars at the top and the bottom, image touching both the right and left edges of the viewer. In the Canvas, however, with Fit to Window selected it shows as a very small box with a lot of black on all sides.
    After conversion to mp4, it is even worse. In Quicktime player you can see the video window with grey space at the top and the bottom of the image. However, this is just a very small window in a sea of black. I would guestimate that this window is only using 1/9 of the total screen space.
    How can I get the video to fill the screen?

    The issue is the AppleTV setting. I've been working this issue for 4 months and can't figure it out.
    SO...
    I just encode it myself... I use File - Export - QT Conversion - BROADBAND HIGH and set my size in the OPTIONS button to what I want.
    Works great for me. And the AppleTV sees it fine.
