Image Slideshow Stretch to Fit Screen

Before Mavericks when you selected mulitple images in the Finder then pressed the space bar and the full screen button in the top right, you would automatically be able to play a slideshow of all the images, and this is still true in Mavericks. The difference now is that the images used to be stretched to fit the screen, now they just appear as their regular size. I would like to go back to the old way if possible.
For clarification: If you press the spacebar and the full screen button in the top right with just one image selected, that image will be streched to fit the screen. It's only when the slideshow moves to a second image that they all stop being stretched.

Is this still true if you use the Slideshow instead of Quick Look feature in the Finder? And whose idea was it to hide this option? For those who have been looking for the old Slideshow feature, select some images, click File in the FInder menu and, when the menu opens, hold the Option key. You will find the menu changes and now you can see the old Slideshow option instead of the Quick Look option.
(If you've been looking for easy access to the Library in the Go menu, that's another that has been hidden.)
BTW, anyone know how to make these appear by default?

  • Photoshop CS6: Why don't images automatically open in 'Fit Screen' mode, by default?

    When opening an image in Photoshop CS6, in order to make the best use of the available screen area for viewing my photos, I have to either press the 'Fit Screen' option, at the top, or double-click the Hand Tool. Why doesn't the image fully fit in the available screen area automatically, when first opening? Is there a reason for images to open by default with empty space surrounding it, or is it an oversight by Adobe, in how the application works?

    The view at Fit to Screen is in most cases guaranteed to be one of the WORST representations of your image you can ever see in a Photoshop window.
    Sure, it has its place and it's one to which I have to resort often, but the overwhelming majority of users would be disappointed—even shocked—at the perceived quality of their image if that's the first glimpse they caught of it by default.
    The only true representation of your pixels is at 100%, where no pixels have to be discarded or made up (invented).
    The next best representations are the the percentage views that Photoshop defaults to when you hit Command/Control + or -.
    One of those is the one that your window initially opens up to by default, and this is exactly the way it should be.

    …they scale to around 46% when fit-to-screen…
    …and I can guarantee you that is far from optimal, without a doubt. 
    If your available monitor space would allow it, your images would open at 50%, or even at 100%, when the image is small enough.
    The way the default view is chosen by Photoshop is perfect.  Nothing has to be changed in this respect.  This is one of the many things Adobe gets right.
    Calling it "stupid" just highlights the user's lack of insight into the issue.

    Hello wrw53,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I nuderstand that your DVDs take up a space larger than your screen. Normally, maximizing the program or playing it in full screen will resolve the issue. If that doesn't help, please provide the following information:

  • IDVD slideshow images appear stretched or  "fat" on TV screen

    Images from my camera appear normal in iPhoto and in iDVD slideshows on my computer. But when I view them on my big screen TV, the images are stretched horizontally. People and things look "fat." Playing with the TV format settings doesn't seem to help.
    Is there some setting, either in iPhoto or iDVD that I am unaware of that can correct this problem?

    Playing with the TV format settings doesn't seem to help.
    Is there some setting, either in iPhoto or iDVD that I am unaware of that can correct this problem?
    Your DVD Player or TV set is set to stretch 4:3 content to fit you 16:9 screen.
    You need to change that setting - DVD Player or TV set - to stop the stretching.

  • Slideshow - stretched image + low resolution

    Hi guys,
    I have a wide screen that runs at 1440x900. I have my slideshows configured not to "scale image to fit screen" as my images are in 4:3 aspect and scaling it to fit the wide screen makes everyone look fat...
    Viewing a quick slideshow from Finder or Preview works correctly, i.e. the photo fits in the screen's hight, with black down the sides.
    When I start a slide show in iPhoto (6 and 08), it switches down to 1280x800, and seems to ignore the "scale image to fit screen" setting being set to "off" - so the images are all stretched sideways.
    I suspected at first that it might be a video RAM issue, but the G4 Mini has 32MB dedicated video RAM, and the slideshow works fine (without switching to a lower resolution) in Finder and Preview.
    I found one other post, posted in the iPhoto 5 section, with no responses:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5155628&#5155628
    Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a way to force iPhoto to leave the resolution alone and obey my scaling wishes?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The three options I have for format are: Current display, 4:3 (iDVD, TV) and Widescreen 16:9. The 4:3 option puts black bars on either side and pins the height. The 16:9 option put black all around the image. Do either of these work for you?
    Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto, reset the preferences and try again.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Slideshow theme 'classic' is broken: 'scale photos to fit screen'

    In Photos, the slideshow theme 'classic' offers as a 'duration setting' the box-check option 'scale photos to fit screen'.
    This fit-to-screen option worked fine in iPhotos.  But in Photos it no longer works -- instead slides are surrounded *on all four sides* by a thickmargin of wasted black pixels (50+ pixels thick) ... even when the 'scale photos to fit screen' *is* checked.
    QUESTION 1:  Is there any Photos theme that offers a working 'scale photos to fit screen'?
    QUESTION 2:  Is there any likelihood that Photos will be fixed and/or upgraded to restore the lost fit-to-screen capability?
    QUESTION 3:  Meanwhile, is there any workaround?
    The world wonders!

    CChange the size of the 960x540 image very slightly. 960x540 is an anamorphic video format so the application interprets it that way and stretches the image. A couple of pixels difference in sync should do it.

  • My desktop image keeps reverting to "stretch to fill screen."

    My desktop image keeps reverting to "stretch to fill screen."  I keep changing it to "fill screen" but next time I power up, it's back to "stretch to fill".  How can I get my Macbook Pro to save the settings with Mavericks?  I never had this issue before.

    By default, Library folders are hidden in user accounts.  To show them, open Terminal and past in the following:
    sudo chflags nohidden /Library/ ~/Library/
    Enter your password when prompted.  Then you can navigate to the folder above and delete the suggested files.  This worked for me.  It was driving me crazy that the desktop kept reverting to the Mavericks wave, as spiffy as it is.

  • Get Cropped Image to Fit Screen?

    Whenever I crop a photo the new image snaps to the corner and gets very small. Is there a way to change this so my new image stays floating AND fits the screen? I thought that in the past whenever I cropped an image it would fill the window the same size of the un-cropped photo. The only thing I can do now is after I make the crop select "fit to screen" (Ctrl-0) to get the image view large again. I don't remember having to do this. I crop a lot of photos so I'd really like a way to make the crop instantly go to a large image. Did I mess up my settings some where or do I have to click "fit to screen" after every crop?

    Usually when you crop an image in the full edit mode,
    the cropped image will be at the same viewing percent
    as the uncropped image. In other words if your image was at 100%
    view (actual pixels), the cropped image will also be at 100% view.
    Sometimes in the floating image mode (non tabbed view) the window will
    get smaller and end up on the left top of the screen (don't know why).
    If your using pse8-9, you can work in the tabbed viewing mode to prevent the window resizing,
    but the image itself will still not fill the screen, only the document window.
    In earlier versions you can use the maximize window mode.

  • TS4085 the image does not fill entire screen of iPad, therefore not the entire TV screen.  Why?

    When I try to mirror a video from my iPad to TV using Apple TV, the video does not fill entire screen of iPad nor the entire screen of my TV,  Is there a way to strech the image to fit screen(s)?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are two factors in play here. Firstly the iPad screen is 4:3, your TV is 16:9, so when mirroring the mirrored iPad screen is never going to fill the TV screen. If on top of that, whatever you are watching doesn't fill the iPad screen then that too will be reflected in what is seen in the mirrored image.
    You cannot stretch this using the Apple TV or iPad controls, but your TV may have a setting you can use. Generally speaking though this will distort the image and you would likely be best leaving it alone.

  • Image sits too low on screen in Photoshop CC when I want to start working.

    When I have the image set to 'fit screen' it sits too low in the working space. Something has changed and I can't get it back. I have tried to restore settings but no effect. Any suggestions welcome? 

    My screen looks like this. Note how the image that has been opened sits rather low in the working space. In fact, a little bit of the bottom of the image has been clipped off despite going to the magnifying class and clicking 'Fit Screen'
    It is intensely irritating and never used to be like this. I am using the latest CC update and have Mavericks.  It appears like this when I double click the image in Bridge to open in Adobe CC. I can find no way to drag the image up a bit or reset anything.

  • HT201335 how to get the apple tv to fit screen when mirroring

    how do you get the apple tv to fit screen when mirroring from an ipad?

    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone and aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.

  • Spry Image Slideshow Thumbnail's do not show properly

    Hello World!
    This is my first time using the forums here at Adobe.
    My problem is that I have inserted a Basic Spry Image slideshow like so:
    The size is ~ 250px by 200px
    And once I go into live view, the slide show only displays the top right corner and not the whole image itself. I tried downsizing the image in design view to "look" like the same size of the thumbtails below but that did not do anything.
    In my local file(not sure if you can see to the left) my images are saved in a file called 'images', and thumbs in a subfolder called 'thumbs'. (I read that images need to have same scr and link names?)
    If anyone can help me out that would be great!! Thanks guys!

    Okay, so I found my error, my Link photo was super duper big!
    I played around with the resizing and it fitted better.

  • How can I force an image to open fully on screen within action?

    In PS CS5 when I open an image with height dimension in range of 1405-1411 or 1873-1882, the image opens half off the bottom of the screen.  Width does opt seem to matter.  
    I assume this is a bug, but until fixed I am trying to work around.
    For manual editing the vertical fit screen button or zooming out causes the image to come on screen, but is neither of these display options will record in an action. 
    When an image is opened half off screen, a Place command does not place accurately for these images.  Thus an action that includes a Place does not run correctly for these images. 
    So either I want to find a setting (nothing in preferences that I can find) to force the image to open on screen, or find a command that will run in an action that causes image to come on screen, while not interefering with images that open normally.                     

    The insert menu item command, which I had overlooked (perhaps because it is grayed out to virtual invisibility until action is actively recording), solved the problem.
    Thanks.
    FYI I had tried all the screen mode options.  Made no difference.  
    Also FYI a screenshot.  A little less than 1/2 of the image is off screen

  • Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip (1.0) - strange behavior

    I am developing a fairly simple website based on Adobe's fixed two-column, header & footer template.  The left column is now 180 px wide, with the right column being 630 px.  When I place the Lightbox Gallery Widget into the editable region of the main content area, it works fine.  When I place the Wanderlust theme Spry Content Slideshow, it works fine.  When I place the Spry Image Slideshow Basic, it works fine.  But when I place the Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip, it works sorta...  The navigation buttons work but are displaced toward the top of the image area and the photos are significantly below them.  It works, but it look terrible.  (see below) When I place the same widget into a blank HTML page it works fine, there is no displacement.  I have tried resizing just about everything including the main content area width, the view port, etc.  It does not matter if I use the default or an edited version of the widget.  What am I doing wrong?  Or what do I need to change?  I really like the way the widget looks, but cannot get it to work.
    I am doing all of this in CS5 on a Mac (10.6.4).

    vw2ureg,
    Thanks for your help.  I, too, was able to get it to work with a page with the default two-column, fixed template.  I must have made an error in resizing the template and/or am resizing the widget incorrectly.  I think my dimensions for the template are as follows: left column (180 content, 20 left padding, 10 right padding, 210 total) and main content (210 left margin, because the left column is floated; 630 content, 20 left, 20 right padding, 670 total).  Which both fit into a container of 880px.  Correct?  Yet even when the widget view port is sized to 600, I still get the effect shown in my original post.  FYI, in order to reduce sources of error I have stuck with the demo images rather than inserting my own at this point. 
    Once again, I do appreciate your help.  Although I'm very much the newbie at this, I'm finding it very interesting.
