Lightroom launches in full screen mode on iMac

LR has just started to launch in full screen mode on my iMac without any opportunity to minimize it or move to another program.  I would like it to launch like it used to where I can control the window size but can't seem to figure out how to get back to that capability.  I have an iMac running Mountain Lion.  LR is the only program effected as Photoshop still launches the old way.

The "F" key cycles through screen modes.

  • Make application always launch in full screen mode?

    Some apps such as Mail and iTunes will remember that they are set to full screen mode when the Mac is restarted and will relaunch exactly as I left them.
    I have one third-party app (Linootype FontExplorer X Pro) which supports the full screen feature, but upon restart it will revert to a standard window rather than full screen and occupying its own space. The app's preferences don't seem to have any specific setting in them, but I was wondering if there is anything at the OS level I could try?
    Thanks

  • How to get Lightroom 5.7 to display in full screen mode on Mac Yosemite?

    How can I get Lightroom 5.7 to display in full screen mode in Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10.1)?
    Of course, that old full screen button at the top right of the window is gone now in Yosemite, but the third button in the top left of the window (the one that used to be green) should perform the same function, but it doesn't -- it just resizes the window, which was the default behaviour in Mavericks.
    And there's no "Enter Full Screen" command under the View menu, either.
    Seems pretty essential that a photo editing app would have a full screen view to remove all the clutter. How do you do it in Lightroom?

    Shift+F Toggles the different screen modes for the Lightroom application, pressing F Takes an individual image into full-screen mode.

  • How to go back to card view when an app is in full screen mode without using launcher button

    Is there a way to go back to card view when you are in full screen mode besides pressing he launcher button? This will wear that button out quick!
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)
    This question was solved.

    Hello and thank you for using the HP webOS Help Forums!
    The center button is not required for going into card view. In any position (landscape or portrait) you may swipe your finger from the bottom to top but just make sure you start int he black area around the screen. This is a subtle yet quick movement and may require some getting used to.
    I hope this helps

    Try using another connection such as VGA or DVI to see if the problem repeats itself.

  • Lightroom bugs: full screen mode and import

    I'm considering buying Lightroom, it's quite impressive for a v1.0. But there are some troubling bugs I've run into on my 2nd or 3rd day of use.
    Platform: Vista Ultimate, Lightroom 1.0, P4 2.8ghz, 1.5 GB mem + 2 GB ReadyBoost.
    - Full screen mode is broken? I switched into full screen mode, and then back into normal mode. But now when I minimize the app and alt tab or click back into it, it's back in full screen mode. So I put it back into normal mode, but it goes back to full screen the next time I return to it. Very annoying. It's not just when I minimize it. If I change window focus *at all*, it sets itself to full screen mode.
    - Import from camera doesn't work. When I attached my Canon 20d and selected Import from 20d, it said "Could not find files" or something. I had to import through Canon EOS Viewer.
    Both of these features are a pretty basic part of workflow, so I'm surprised they're broken.

    There are know issues with Vista which isn't supported yet. Also import has some issues to be resolved.
    The read me has some of this noted.

  • How to launch firefox 4 in full screen mode

    hello, How to launch firefox 4 in full screen mode. I dont want to press SHIFT CMD F each time? thx

    There needs to a be a space before -fullscreen and that switch needs to be placed after the quotes
    *"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -fullscreen
    But I don't think that it will work. Firefox 4 doesn't have that switch by default, so support should be added via an extension.

  • Mobile Safari Crash when using an iFrame in Full Screen mode (Icon launch)

    Platform: iPad 2/3/mini iOS 8.1 (Other versions seem to show the same behavior)
    The Problem:
    I am making an html5 app that is running in full screen mode by adding it to the homescreen and using the <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> tag to hide Safari.
    When altering the source of an iFrame to an asset (mov, mp3, etc), Safari in turn will crash ONLY when in full screen mode. If I am browsing my app out of full screen mode, the assets load without a problem.
    The odd thing is, the default browser player for these assets change in appearance when using the full screen mode.
    I have setup a page to reproduce the crash:
    Navigate to: http://instapark.me/roi
    Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash)
    Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (No crash)
    Add to your homescreen.
    Launch from homescreen icon.
    Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash, but it will not play.)
    Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (crash!)

    It is already switched off because it's a known issue that the macbook pro mid 2010 has kernel panics with the discrete gpu.
    Any other guesses?
    *Also please note that this is probably a safari issue since chrome works fine. But I can't read crash logs so any help would be appreciated.

    Lightroom 5.4 is getting stuck in full screen mode. I need to force-quit the app in order to re-start and use again. How can I fix this?
    I am using Mac osX 10.9.2
    I can see that I am not the only one with this problem.

    LOL... this is what I just had to look up... it's not exactly clear or apparent, is it?
    When in Full screen mode.. just press Command-F. Voila!

  • Lightroom 5 0 Bug in Full Screen Mode and Grid View

    In full screen mode while using the grid view in the second window the photo you have selected may or may not be the photo you see in the main window.

    I can't reproduce this on 5.2RC on Mac - can you still reproduce it on Windows?

  • How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

    using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
    selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click.  How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

    In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
    Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
    If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features
    Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

  • Can't see pictures in full screen mode

    This is my new Mac Computer. Some of the pictures can not be viewed except as thumbnails. (When I try to see in full screen mode, there is a quick 1 second view,then a grey screen with an I in the middle and a dotted line surrounding it. There is no rhyme nor reason why some photos can been seen in full mode and some can only be seen as thumbnail.

    Pauline
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    Regards

  • Cover Flow does not update in full-screen mode

    Following an upgrade to iTunes 10.5 (141) and Lion (10.7.2) - I've noticed that Cover Flow no longer updates to the current song in full-screen mode. It will return to, and remain frozen at the first song of the playlist until manually updated or I revert to non-full-screen mode.

    I assume you are using a desktop shortcut to start Lightroom.  Look at the properties for that shortcut.  There should be an option to set it to "maximize".

  • Aperture 3.1 - Love Full Screen Mode, Hate The System Lock-Ups

    Hi Guys,
    I don't know if I'm the only person encountering this issue but Aperture 3 is driving me nuts. While I absolutely love the program and the full-screen mode, what I hate is the frequent lock-ups that force me to completely restart my iMac. Having the application lock-up is highly annoying but at least in "normal" mode I could kill the application from the Dock or Activity Monitor. However, when I'm operating in full-screen mode then I can't switch out of the application and seem to have no option but to completely restart my computer. This problem, which I first started experiencing with version 3.0 but which does seem to have been addressed in version 3.1, is happening so often that I'm afraid now to even use full-screen mode.
    This problem only, to my memory, seems to happen when making adjustments but it does not seem to matter which adjustment. In the most recent occurrence the lock-up happened when I cancelled the application of a Crop by clicking the X icon on the Crop HUD.
    Does anyone know either a) what might be causing the lock-ups, or b) how I can kill Aperture without having to completely restart my computer?

    You could also set up SPACES to see if that works when lock up occurs in full screen
    Apple Icon > System Preference > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot corners
    I have bottom left set to spaces
    Then drop the mouse to bottom left, 4 windows appear, drag aperture to a seperate window and run there, you desktop is in a different space and can be accessed by bottom left of screen mouse movement (if the mouse works when A3 locks up)
