Image quality in Viewer vs Full Screen

I've seen lots of discussions about this in earlier version (pre 1.5x), but they seem to be backward from what I'm seeing. I have an extremely noticable difference in image quality in the viewer vs full screen. At first, I just thought my images weren't any good. Then, I brought the same raw files up in Photoshop and they were pretty good. I looked in Aperture in Full Screen mode, and it was close or equivalent to Photoshop.
Is anybody else seeing the image be downright bad (looks horribly out of focus) in the viewer but good in full screen? I'm not talking about the thumbnails.
I'm using an iMac G5 20". I know that my video card is probably underpowered for this, but that should only affect speed (which is mostly tolerable).
iMac G5 20 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I think I read in the manual that Aperture uses a different type of on-screen sharpening for windowed, full screen, and show master. Probably trying to speed it up in windowed by using a cheaper method.
They all should look the same when viewed at 100%.
And for what it's worth, I think Aperture does a lot better job than most programs when viewed at odd sizes. I don't have much to compare it to, but iPhoto and Adobe Elements look awful in comparison.

Low Quality When Viewed In Full Screen

So when I try to view my movie in full screen it's all pixely. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is setting I need to change? Any help would be great!

Well I'm not 100% sure. The video came from a miniDV tape and is NSTC. I also have no idea how to how to change the dimensions or if I can. Is there a way I can find out the dimensions? Sorry for not being much help.

Hi
I am a keen photographer and I have just bought you SD card reader for ipad. This works well but was winding if there is an app that I can view the images on the SD card full screen without having to import them to the iPad or is there a way to do this on the iPad
The reason for buy this was for when I was out and about to get a better view off my images.
I have a iPad 2 16gb
Hope you can help!
Thanks

A couple of weeks ago, (after reading a review in TUAW) I bought a wireless hub/ SD card reader called RAVPower. its app comes with a built in viewer, so you can load it up, and see the pics full screen.

View photos full screen

Just updated ATV to 2.1, now the only way to view the photos in full screen is with the Ken Burns effect on. I've seen some older post that say you have to have it on to view in full screen. I like the Ken Burns effect but only when I have control. Before the update I was able to enjoy my photos in full screen.
Anyone else?

I'm experiencing the same issue. For me, ATV actually distorts the image in order to fit the screen height. I don't like that. From researching, it seems the latest update eliminated the full screen option. Can only choose Ken Burns effect now to fill the screen with the image.
But what I don't like about Ken Burns effect is sometimes the images appear too zoomed in and then it pans in a direction that is meaningless in the picture. For example, a picture of my son holding a trophy will show my son and most of the trophy cropped. But instead of panning up to the scropped trophey, it pans down and away. Makes the experience quite disappointing.

New satellite laptop wont view in full screen while on internet

I have a satellite L305-S5919 and when im trying to watch a video or something i can watch it but when i try to view it full screen i get a blank page but i can hear audio.

But when i switch it to the laptop i have to watch it on the regular window. please help thank you

Satellite L305-S5919
Assuming you're using Adobe's Flash Player, there's a bug in it for Vista.
While the video is playing, right-click on it and click Settings. Uncheck the box for Enable hardware acceleration.

Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard?

Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard without auto-hiding the dock? I've already tried searching the forums but could not find much on it or an answer to if it can be done or not. Thanks for any help.

You can open the Code Inspector Window to have the code completely separate from the Design/Document window. You can also then move the CI window to a separate monitor if you like.
Window > Code Inspector or F10

I changed my "View" to Full Screen..How do I change it back since the Menu Bar with "View" is no longer available in "Full Screen" ?? I tried Esc but that does not work ..

I used the VIEW tab at the top left to change my View to "Full Screen".
Now I cannot access the VIEW tab to change it back. How do I change it back so that that Menu will show at the top of my screen??

Some choices:
# F11 toggle Full Screen
# Move mouse up through the top of the screen to menu bars, if you show them
# "Alt+V" -- to bring up the View Menu

You need to get a full screen clock app from the App Store.

Viewing Safari full screen

Annoying single page view in full screen mode

I have checked the “Enable Scrolling” in the “View/Page Display” menu to have a continuous page flow (with gaps between pages) and avoid page bouncing when moving from the bottom of a page to the top of the next page. It works as expected when in windowed mode but not in full screen mode.
- Why isn’t it possible to have continuous page flow (with gaps between pages) when in full screen mode? It is as if Adobe Reader disregards the “View/Page Display” menu preferences and always reverts to “Single Page View” when in full screen mode!
- Also it would be nice to have an option to display a vertical scroll bar to the extreme right of the screen in full screen mode to be able to quickly scroll the document.
These two features are the primary ones that make me still using Foxit-Reader instead of Adobe Reader albeit Foxit-Reader has a lower PDF rendering quality.
Regards
ZC.

I have same problem.
In Full Screen Mode , most functions are *NOT* working. For example , Show/Hide Menu Bar , Show/Hide Toolbars etc. Even use keyboard shortcut , they just *NOT* working.
I am wondering is any chance to make Show/Hide Menu Bar , Show/Hide Toolbars working on Full Screen Mode ?
At least , please add some keyboard shortcut to change Page Display .
Best Regards,
Adobe Reader version : 10.0.3
OS version : Mac OS X 10.6.7

Previews no loading, but viewing photo full screen is fine

hi all.
perhaps someone can help with a solution to my problem;
when i view libary as thumbnails, some of the images only display with a dashed-grey line border, and no picture, BUT if i double click to view the image full screen - its fine!
thanks for your help guys..

Select the thumbnails and go to Images>Generate Thumbnails.
This should rebuild Aperture's thumbnail images from the original master files.

Trouble with the image quality when viewing under 100%. First time posting on the forum.

Hello everyone. I am sorry we have the get acquainted this way but I am having some issues and this is one of my last options of getting help.   Allow me to explain the problem.    When viewing a file under 100% zoom, everything looks jagged like the anti aliasing is missing. Once I zoom in to 100%, everything looks the way it should. The saved file ( jpeg format for instance) is okay. I can zoom out and it still looks true to the image. The problem is related to photoshop. I installed my latest GPU drivers twice just to be sure and it was not from that.   This problem started last night and I don`t quite know how to solve it. If I work on small resolution images, it isn`t such a bad problem because I will be working on 100% zoom, but I am working on high resolution images/ paintings. Somewhere around 8000x5000 pixels thus, working at 100% is not that doable. I attached an image that shows this issue. The one on the right is the zoomed out version and the one on the left is the zoomed in version. Yes, the noise is affected by this, badly, but this started last night. up until then everything looked good even with noise or an out of this world sharpness. I can`t imagine what I could have done to trigger this.
   This being said, I am at the mercy of the more knowledgeable folks from around here. I do hope I posted this question in the right section. This is my first post here so sorry if I messed something up.   Looking forward to your replies.

Here is a simplistic view that I feel may help you understand reality.
The only time you're looking at your image pixels in Photoshop is when you're zoomed in to 100%,   There your look at the actual image pixels Photoshop has for your image at your displays resolution.
At any other zoom level you are looking a scaled image that has more or less pixels than your actual image these too are displayed at your display resolution.
The scaling done by Photoshop is done for displaying your image is done for good performance not for the best image quality a quick interpolation.   Therefore at some zoom levels image quality looks poorer than at other zoom levels.
High resolution Display have now add a new wrinkle.   User interfaces were designed for displays with resolutions around 100 PPI elements like text, icon, and other things like checkboxes, buttons etc. were created so there size would be useable are this more or less fixed 100 PPI resolution.   While Photoshop was designed to scale your images so you can work well on it is was not designed with a scalable UI. Photoshop can not scale its user interface independently from its image display display window for you displays high resolution. Photoshop's Image display area has the same resolution as the rest of Photoshop User Interface. Just like there is only one resolution in all layers in a document. CC 2014 2xUI changes that. PS UI is scaled to 1/2 resolution the image Area is at the displays actual resolution.
Photoshop CC 2014 2x UI scales all of Photoshop User Interface including the image display to 200% which is 1/2 your display resolution effectively cutting you display pixel count to 1/4 its actual pixel count.   Your once again running on a low resolution display.     If your display has a native resolution 200 PPI you're running it at 100 ppi if your display has a 300 PPI resolution you're running it at 150ppi.    Which defeats the reason of having high resolution. Which is you would like to be able to edit your images at print resolution. Adobe cc2x UI scales the UI but not the image window soa inage is 216ppi on the Surface Pro 3 the UI is large and dpoes not fit. screen
To be able to edit your images at print resolution you need a display the has a print resolution and you need and application the can scale its image display and its UI independently.
Current there is no OS interface for having multiple resolutions areas on a display and applications like Photoshop can not scale UI and Image independently. OS and Photoshop can scale what is displayed. Adobe Photoshop executable is coded in a way that it tell Microsoft Windows OS that it will handle display scaling so it can using your displays native resolution. Currently Only Photoshop CC 2014 Provides you with the option of running you display at half resolution.
Windows can scale you display to many resolution and as several presets. like 100%, 125%, 150% and like Adobe 200% half resolution.    You can make a Windows Registry and add an External Photoshop Manifest file the tell's Microsoft Windows to handle display scaling. I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 m windows machine. Its LCD has a 216PPI resolution. Windows 8.1 had 4 preset for scaling its LCD.
Surface Pro 3 LCD Display 12" IPS display 3:2 aspect ratio 9.984603532054124" Wide, 6.656402354702749" High 216.3330765278394 PPI
Microsoft Preset Display scaling
100% 2160x1440   216 PPI
125% 1728x1152   173 PPI
150% 1440x960    144 PPI SP3 Default setting
200% 1080x720    108 PPI
Most user these days has 1024x768 or better displays and Web pages are often authored for 800x600 pixels pages. So the give you a better handle on Resolution and scaling I have edit a 800x600 document with 25x25 px grid one my Surface pro 3
using Windows 4 scaling presets and captured the 2160x1140 scaled screens Only at the 100% preset does the image window have a 216ppi Also note @ 2x UI Photoshop UI doe not fit on screen
Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 2xUI Scales the UI to a display 1/2 resolution but does not scale the Image area uses actual screen resolution. Photoshop Help system info show the screen i 1/2 resilution 1080x720 but scalet the imase to the real resolution 2160x1440. however the image window is the 216ppi the ui 108ppi via scaling

Image Distortion when viewing PDF on screen

I work for a company that puts together presentations for clients. In the past we've always used PowerPoint, but are looking into pdfs as a cleaner, more elegant end product.
While experimenting with this process, I've noticed that images I use on my pages look distorted on screen. Images with transparency often have black lines between transparent and opaque parts of the image. Also, outlines do not have consistent thicknesses. These problems only seem to occur when viewing the pdf on screen. Everything looks perfect in the authoring program (InDesign) as well as printed, but our finished product is intended for on-screen viewing so that's where it needs to look its best.
I'm using Illustrator CS4 to create most of the illustrations and graphics, then placing them into a multipage InDesign CS4 document and export that as a pdf. Then I finish things up in Acrobat 9. I've tried saving the graphics in every format I can think of (that allows for transparency) and have not yet found one that reliably looks good in full-screen mode as a pdf.
I'm curious if anyone else has run into this problem or might be able to help me. Thanks!

We're having the same problem with legal documents that contain underlining. The underlining looks fine in the source document and the printed PDF. But, when the PDF is viewed online, some of the underlining looks much thicker than it's supposed to be. If the document is viewed at 175% zoom, it looks fine, but anything less than that displays the distorted underlining.
Our internal client is not happy about this, so we're looking for answers, too.

All Photos view in full screen can't happen?

Just want to be sure I'm not missing something. When I'm using iPhoto in full screen mode, I only have Events, Faces, Places, Albums, Projects and NO PHOTOS view. Right?

Wrong. This is what I get in the Photos mode with Event Titles shown:
Click on a photo and it goes full screen.
This is what it looks like without Event Titles shown:

Not able to view in Full Screen

I bought Quicktime Pro to get full screen support, however, none of the downloads I get from Websites show in full screen when they are sent in Quicktime format. They all show in the tiny box, just like they did with the free Quicktime. (I installed FlipforMac so I could watch WMV files, I have to use command-F key every time to get full screen for WMV files.)
This is NOT very elegant for either type of files, surely, this is not how viewing video clips should work. I come from a Microsoft background and am trying to enjoy this MAC, but it is not easy. Please help me understand how I should properly set this MAC up to view clips from the Internet.
Thanks in advance.

Full screen playback has been part of the "free" Player since version 7.2 and there was no need to purchase Pro for that feature.
Web based file display is controlled by the page author and they can allow full screen display if they want. One of my pages as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
If the page author wants to display at 320X240 that is what QuickTime will show. You would have to find a "direct" link to the QuickTime file and open it using the "Open URL" feature (File menu) to get full screen viewing.
