IPhoto 11 low resolution photo in full screen mode

In the 09 version a low resolution picture is shown full on the screen, but can be a little bit blurry.
In the 11 version the low resolution picture is shown small. How can we change that?

I mean that a low resolution picture is shown as a small picture and can not be viewed as a large picture. In the old version a low or high resolution was shown the same. If it was a low resolution picture it would be a bit more blur. Now the picture is small and a higher resolution picture is shown full screen.
Is this better?

  • Adjusted photos in full screen mode show digital garble over image

    Since installing iPhoto08 viewing photos in full screen mode is very disappointing and frustrating. Some images will appear with this (for lack of a better term) digital garble over half or the full photo. Sometimes by switching to the next or previous image it will correct itself. It seems to happen only with photos I've adjusted. This never happened with iPhoto6 that I upgraded from. These photos are all 8 mpix, my mac is a G5 2.0 with 2 GB RAM. I've also noticed that the over all perfomance of adjusting the photos is very slow as well. I posted the image here www.capacitornetwork.com/iPhotoDigitalGarble.jpg. Compare the left and right halves (The photo was originally shot B&W). Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you checked the HD with Disk Utility to see if it needs repairs? Not disk permissions but the disk itself. Also delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. A corrupt preference file has been known to cause some strange problems. It's worth a try.
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Hidden photos in full screen mode.

    Hey guyz, I think I need a little help here.When I see a photo in the full screen mode and try to navigate through the photos of a specific event using the arrows left n' right I notice that many photos are not shown and are skipped.I can't figure out what's going on.Searched on the web for any possible answers but found nothing.Am I the only one that's happening to?It's really annoying.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are the photos just skipped or is there a blank screen of some sort when you get to those photos? What do you see or not see?

There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Aperture got stuck while editing a photo in full screen mode and doesn't respond to commands

    How do I stop Aperture when it is completely stuck and will not even respond to alt-cmd-esc?

    then use option + command  Delete to force quit Aperture.
    Force quitting is to be avoided if possible, since it can corrupt the Aperture Library and the User preferences file or other settings.
    If Aperture seems to be stuck and unresponsive, quite often it is a deadlock in the graphical user interface, but the application itself still may respond to the "Terminate" signal, send by other processes:
    Select the Aperture Dock icon, ctrl-click and select "Quit!
    Select "Restart" from the     Apple-menu.
    Or use the Terminal to send a Terminate-Signal:
    Launch "Activity Monitor" (from Applications > Utilities) and find the Process ID of Aperture (PID, in the first column)
    Open a Terminal and type in:
    kill -TERM Aperture's PID
    Only if all these safer measures don't work, then use Force Quit on a database program like Aperture, but be prepared to run an "Aperture Library First Aid" afterwards, if you see signs of a corrupted library.

  • Full Screen Mode has letterbox effect

    Hopefully this is an easy one and I am just missing something, but when I open a photo in full screen mode it does not fill the entire screen. Instead, there is a title bar on top, an editing bar on the bottom and a fairly large blank area on either side that frames the photo like a letterbox effect on TV.
    What am I doing wrong? (In case it matters, the camera used was a Nikon D40.) In the past with iPhoto 09 these photos would fill the entire screen of my MacBook Pro, now, not so much. (My desktop wallpaper, for example, is a photo taken with the same camera, and it fills the entire area of my MBP's screen; how can I get that same effect when I open a photo in iPhoto '11?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    It's been over a day and a half and no responses. No love for an old friend?
    Anyone with any ideas, please reply.
    Thanks.

  • Aperture in full screen mode seems to crash MacBook Pro with Retina

    To anyone who has an idea;
    I have a brand new (couple months old) 15" MacBook Pro w Retina (16GB RAM, 2.3GHz i7) and I can repeatedly crash it just by running Aperture in a full screen mode and flipping through the photos (I have 21000+ photos and I was cleaning them so it required a lot of flipping back and forth, deleting but no editing). It appears as if it was running out of RAM and not releasing it back. I have all the latest updates installed (always) and I know this is not related to my machine since within the first week of having it I noticed a dent on my screen and Apple sent me a brand new machine. I could replicate this behaviour on both machines.
    To mitigate the restarts, I use FreeMemory Pro app set at "freeing" RAM once it drops to 4GB but if I push the Aperture too fast (and I do not mean major editing but just simply going through many photos in full screen mode, viewing them), I still crash it.
    I was wondering if there is anyone else with something similar and if you have any tips. I have reported it to Apple.

    Hi,
    I'm having exactly the same hard- and software configuration like you, Gordito73 - up to date of course as well. Aperture continues to crash after it really seams to run out of memory while editing lots of photos with many different effects. -.-

  • Slow processing in full screen mode

    Hi All
    I recently upgraded my camera to an EOS 5d mk 2. I take photos in full RAW, so resulting images are around 26 MB.I then import these as managed reference files into Aperture.
    No issue with import to Aperture or image quality.
    However, when viewing the photos in full screen mode (to rank / edit etc), they take a long time to properly open / load (about 20 seconds each.) Each time I re-open Aperture, each image needs to be re-loaded in full screen size - which can become very time consuming. Edits are equally very slow to process.
    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions how to manage this and avoid the time lag (other than downgrading to smaller image sizes). For example...
    - I currently have 2GB of memory and a 128 mb graphics card. Do I need to upgrade to handle such large images?
    - Can I reset a preference to avoid having to reload the full size image every time I open Aperture?
    - How can I speed up editing speed (nothing too fancy done here - I note from other posts the "7 deadly edits" that can cause processing to slow up)
    Any ideas gratefully received!!!
    Many thanks
    Paul

    I don't understand whether you have a Referenced-Masters Library or a Managed-Masters Library. Drives slow as they fill and with a Managed-Masters Library sooner or later the internal drive will become overfilled. I recommend a Referenced-Masters Library with Masters on an external drive and the Aperture Library on the internal drive.
    iMacs, laptops and Minis are by definition limiting to heavy Aperture usage, so work carefully to optimize setup and workflow.
    First is to max the RAM and make sure the hard drive stays less than 70% full. Restart the iMac prior to a major Aperture session and only have Aperture open. You should also investigate to see if a substantially more powerful video card is available at reasonable price.
    Set Preview size to be exactly screen size and build Previews manually when the box is otherwise not being aggressively used.

  • 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!
    James

    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.

  • I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. How to fix

    I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. I deleted this from my apps and then deleted iphoto from my purchases in macbook app store the search it the app store and it says it has still been installed. What can I do to fix it?

    Well deleting it from your machine was not the way to go.
    Deleting it from your Purchases List was definitely not the way to go.
    So, I'm not really sure how you're going to reinstall it.
    But figure that out and we can try help. Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They should be able to get it back on your purchases list so you can reinstall it.

  • Iphoto 09 8.1.2 stopped showing photos in full screen

    I have the above-mentioned version on both my MAC and my MACBookPro.  I have never had a problem with either.  Suddenly, the version on my MACBookPro (which is using OS X 10.6.8) stopped showing my pics in the full screen mode.  All I get, when double clicking a thumbnail, all of which show up great, is a black screen.  I can see the thumbnails above the black screen, and I can even play the pics in a slide-show.
    I have tried everything from rebuilding the library to creating a new library, to completely deleting both IPhoto Application and Library, going to my MAC, copying that version of IPhoto and it's library onto a disc and loading that onto my Pro.  NOTHING WORKS!  I have tried everything I've seen on the web, You-Tube, and of course the Apple Support, which is usually the worst of the lot in terms of supplying information.  I have searched Google to no avail.  Apple seems to all but have foresaken this version, in favor of it's new ILife program, IPhoto 11, which I see is also having major difficulties. 
    Is there no one out there who has the slightest idea why this program, only on my Pro, is doing this?  I just looked at my pics again on my MAC and that sucker is working like a charm.  I don't even see a good IPhoto alternative out there to download.
    HELP!

    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). 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?

  • 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.

  • Full screen mode on iPhoto with 2 screens

    Hello
    I have a MacPro 1.1 with 2 screens, Lion and the latest version of iPhoto. When I launch the full screen app mode of iPhoto, no matter if i am working with events, faces, photos or whatever I do, the app just fills the main screen, and the secondary one just gets grey and its not usable at all... I feel silly having a hardware that I can't use in my duties.
    Any tip on how to make the full screen mode of the apple applications to use both screens?
    In advance, thanks!

    It's not supported.

  • Full screen mode and Screen saver Photo viewing

    The problem I have is my images vary in size, due to photos being taken on different cameras, with different settings, or photos/negatives that have been scanned.
    When viewed in iphoto some of the photos are smaller than others in full screen mode (obviously because they are smaller) where as the larger photos are "made to fit"
    When viewed with the screen saver in System Prefs. The large images appear pixalated and "zoomed in" Where as the small and medium sized photos look great.
    is there any way of solving these issues?
    any suggestions much appreciated.

    Set it to the iPhoto Library.
    When you set it to the Photos folder that's exactly what you get. The Pictures Folder has many thumbnails and alternate versions of the photos as well as other garbage you don't want.

  • 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)
    (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.

  • 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)  

    ParkerT
    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
