IPhoto 09 + SL = crazy full screen

Recently upgraded intel iMac to Sl and added iPhoto 09. Now when I attempt to work with pictures in full screen mode, the screen often goes "crazy" (pixelated, lots of colors, shifted images, really hard to describe). If I go to the next pic, it will be fine. If I go back to the picture that went crazy out of full screen, it is fine.
help?!?

I have the same proble - and have reported it as suggested.
The problem has become worse since 10.6.2 (reported that as well).
Sluggish functioning with the adjust controls while in edit mode has become a very long and drawn out affair. Something that took a few seconds is now taking a minute or two.
Crashing several times.
Frustrating and damaging to the reputation of the software.
Will hang well back on future upgrades to see the feedback.

Whenever an i device is attached iPhoto kicks out of "Full Screen" mode

Whenever I sync an i device to iMac iPhoto kicks out of "Full Screen" mode?

Correct. Full Screen has no import or syncing mode.

IPhoto: I clicked Enter Full Screen by mistake, now I can't get out of it. The button in View to exit full screen does not work. I cannot see any other way to exit full screen. In full screen, I cannot see my events, nor can I do any quick fixes.

I accidentally got into Full Screen mode in iPhoto, and can't figure out how to get out of it. The last item in View is unresponsive (Exit full Screen). I've looked online but can't find any way to get out of iPhoto full screen--no arrows show on top right or bottom right. I cannot find 'events' or crop photos, the only option I have is to scroll through a certain number of photos that I don't want to see. Please, I just want to get out of Full screen mode. Please help. Thanks.

Give this a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try full screen again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

IPhoto 6 slideshows not full screen!!!

First of all, as this problem has not changed since iPhoto 5.02 on OS X 10.3.9, let me provide you with some background...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1425902&#1425902
Now, let me detail the problem again. I have a Mac Mini 1.25 Ghz with 512 MB RAM connected to a 20" Apple Cinema Display (aluminum) running at its native resolution of 1680 x 1050. Prior to iPhoto version 5.02, if I watched a slideshow, either by clicking the "Play" button on an album or creating a full fledged slideshow, the pictures in the slideshow would be fit to the width of my display and then cropped on the top and bottom so that the picture would fill all the real-estate on my display. I believe this may have only been the case when viewing with Ken Burns effect enabled... in any case it was exactly the way that I wanted it to work. After updating to iPhoto 5.02 and on every subsequent version of iPhoto all the way unitl iPhoto 6, this is not the behavior. Now, black bars are inserted on the left and right of my display and the photo is displayed in a box in the center that fills the height of the display and is approximately 4:3 in aspect ratio. No combination of settings for the automatic ken burns effect, scale pictures to fit screen, or slideshow format settings have yeided a result that fills the entire screen... most make it look worse. The only thing that seems to help is lowering the resolution of the display from the native of 1680 x 1050 to 1024 x 768 or something similar. Obviously this deteriorates the quality of the images.
Apparently, this was a design decision made by apple...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301667
First of all, it makes no sense to me that iPhoto should decide my computer isn't capable of displaying full screen slideshows when it was perfectly capable of doing so prior to iPhoto 5.02. Secondly, the proposed work around is ridiculous. The amount of time and effort needed to produce a QT movie for each slideshow you want to show full screen greatly reduces the functionality of the otherwise awesome slideshow features... not to mention it greatly reduces the quality of the slideshow.
I am posting to again make it known that this is still an issue for many users in the latest version of iPhoto. People still want it fixed. And many people with affected computers might not even know that iPhoto is supposed to display full screen slideshows if you want them.
Now, I apologize in advance for the bold I'm about to use, but this is the most important part of this post and I hope someone at Apple reads it...
Make an option in iPhoto to enable full screen slideshows even on computers that the program deems incapable!
That way users can accept your automatic determination of this capability, or they can judge for themselves whether or not full screen slideshows are worth a "potential" degradation in performance. You can even worn them once when they enable the option that it may cause decreased performance on their hardware. That way they'll know you tried.
Ok, there... now that that is out of my system, does anyone else have any ideas or would like to add something?

I take a lot of pictures with 2-3 digital cameras (as a hobby). I use my old 400MHz G4 TiBook as my picture bank when I travel. I got very frustrated when I realized that the screen resolution is set to 800*600 when you do a slideshow in iPhoto, and there is no way to change that.
This is especially bothering when the pictures are taken with my DSLR, but looking at pictures from a 5 MB camera on a 0,5 MB resolution screen is a drag in any case.
I think that I have found a solution to this, however. It would be nice if someone else could try to verify my results. Very simple:
- Close iPhoto and get a plist editor (I used PlistEdit Pro which I found in Macupdate).
- With the editor, open the iPhoto preferences file: /Users/Your_Userame/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
- There's a property called SlideshowFixedScreenRes close close to the end of the file. Change it's value from NO to YES and save the plist file. Relaunch iPhoto.
This worked very well with the TiBook. Your mileage may vary, though. If you find that it works for you, please let the others know.
If this preference property really is the legitimate place for setting this, it makes me wonder why Apple is so arrogant that they don't give us a switch somewhere for this.
NOTE: If you try this the risk is yours. I don't think that the risk in this case is very severe however - if you throw the iPhoto plist file in the Trash it will be rebuilt when you relaunch iPhoto.

Just downloaded the Lion OS but my iPhoto will go for full screen???

Just downloaded the Lion OS but my iPhoto will not go for full screen???

Which version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '11 (version 9) to be able to use full screen mode. Some earlier versions of iPhoto will run under Lion, but only those applications built specifically to take advantage of Lion's full-screen feature can do so.

IPhoto 2.0.1 Full Screen Pic?

Is there a way to select any given photo in the library and have it take up the full screen with no menus just picture. The same as the slideshow does so well but just with 1 picture.
Thanks

OT,
Thanks for the reply. However, the problem I was exhibiting seems to have cured itself on the startup the next day. Perhaps one of the maintenance tasks run at startup cleared up whatever it was that was causing iPhoto to hang.
I do not keep my system running all night when many of these functions (daily/weekly/monthly) are scheduled to run. From examining the cron log time stamps, it would appear that cron only executes crontab scheduled operations if the computer is actually running at the scheduled time(s). My recollection from System V Unix days was that cron had a "catchup" capability and would recognize that had not run a scehduled task and would execute it at the next boot time or whenever cron was restarted. Apparently the BSD cron doesn't function that way.
I D/L'd OnyX 1.3.1 (the last version for 10.2.8) and will do what you suggest. Seems like a good thing to do periodically anyway.

IPhoto misbehaving in Full Screen mode?

Anyone having trouble with iPhoto dropping out of Full Screen mode? It keeps happening to me. I set up iPhoto in full screen mode and the next thing I know, it's in some sort of middle ground where it occupies the full screen but with a bunch of other apps.
Solutions?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app?

How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app? From what I can tell, I can't see a photo full screen in iphoto. I need full screen!

A file with a .PSA extension is most probably a catalog file from an older version of Elements (up to PSE5). To be able to use it with a newer version (including PSE12), you'll have to convert the catalog to the new format. In the organizer, open the 'File' menu, select the catalog manager (shift Ctrl C) and click the convert button, browse to the .psa file. Your catalog will be converted to the new format.

Full-screen problem

When selecting a photo for full-screen, I get a black screen with tags for the faces. It shows the video in full screen, but not the photos.

WHat happens when you try and view in the iPhoto Window instead of full screen mode?

IPhoto Freeze on full screen Editing - Lost threads ???

Hi all,
as I'm one of those experiencing multiple problems with iPhoto 9 and Snow Leopard, with freezing the complete OS in full screen editing and displaying repeatedly scrambled or corrupt images, I wanted to subscribe to one of the many multipage threads here but they all seem to be gone !!!
Did I miss something? Has the problem been fixed meanwhile?
If there is a fix, please someone share the secret, iPhoto is driving me crazy...
Thanks!

Sorry, it did not change anything!
It took me quite a while to find the time and the courage to rebuild a completely new iPhoto Library from scratch... but I did it... with more than 5000 pix in it, of course beautifully sorted and most even modified! Altough the problem still remains, at least I did cleanup the base properly.
Now I'm gonna try to migrate to iPhoto '11... fingers crossed!

IPhoto 11 window won't open, only have full screen view

After I upgraded, the iphoto window would not come up. The menu bar at the top is active, and I am able to access my photos from Full Screen View. But when I toggle back, and close full screen, everything closes...
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Try 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.)
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.

Lots of hang ups when using iPhoto in full screen mode

Has anyone else got this problem or a solution? I find that iPhoto hangs up or give strange action when in ful screen mode. The other day, for example, I had two iPhoto windows showing, one in full screen and one normal window on the desk top! Another day the system became unresposive and I had to force quit iPhoto to get it back. Another day I had to re-boot the machine entirely. All other full screen apps work fine.
I am on MacBook black, 2GB memory. OS X Lion fully updated.

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)

IPhoto 11: How to view "all photos" while in full screen mode

In iPhoto, when it's not in full screen mode, if you click photos in the sidebar (under Library), you get a nice view of ALL your photos, and you have the option to sort them by event. When you go from this view straight to full screen mode, it stays this way, which in my case is particularly useful since I like to move photos around from event to event. However, staying in full screen mode, as soon as I click an any other of the menus at the bottom (events, faces, places, albums, projects), I cannot find anyway to get back to the "all photos" view, other than to take it OUT of full screen mode, click on "Photos" in the side bar, and then go back to full screen mode. Either I am missing something that is glaringly obvious, or this is a rather annoying oversight by Apple. It seems like it would be natural to have "Photos" be one of the options along with Events, Faces, Places, Albums and Projects in full screen mode. Right now the only work around I've been able to come up with (aside from going back and forth with fullscreen mode), and to hit "command F" while in full screen mode, and then type "i", which will give me what I am want only because all my photos start with "i". Not a very elegant work around, I know, but perhaps I am missing something very obvious.
Thanks for any advice!

In case my description isn't clear, here is a screenshot of exactly the view in full screen mode I am talking about that I can't seem to return to once I leave it, other than to go back to non full screen mode or use the search trick.

How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11

How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11. It was black in iPhoto 09 and now it's a murky grey. I'm not talking about events or photo view where it's in preferences only full screen photo. Thanks

Go into iPhoto's Appearance preference pane and move the Background slider all the way to the left - black.

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them in iPhoto full screen without having to open each one in preview?

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them full screen on my Mac without having to open each one in preview?

You would have to import them to iPhoto, iPhoto cannot work with images that are not in its library.
You might try some of the other viewers out there.
