Opening pictures full screen as default

I'm using Photoshop Elements 4.0 and here's what I'd like to do. When someone sends me a picture via email, I'd like to automatically open it full screen and view it. As it is, photoshop always opens it in editor mode. Is this possible and if so, how? Thanks, Adrian

Adrian,
I suggest that you change the file association so that the files sent to you via e-mail will open in Window> Picture and Fax Viewer.
To do this:
1. Right click on a JPEG file, such as one sent to you
2. Select>Open with>Choose program, then scroll down to Win & Fax viewer
3. At the bottom of the dialog check the box to always use the selected program to open this kind of file.

Making apps open in full screen by default WITHOUT resume enabled.

Hi guys,
I love using apps in full screen on Lion and would like to have all apps capable of it open in full screen by default. Unfortunately I've found the only way to do this is to have resume enabled which I really don't like as I find it annoying having to exit out of whatever document I was using last whenever word/acrobat etc. open. Also don't want what I have been browsing on Safari previously to be seen. I have read from other users in the discussions and in other forums that Lion should remember if you have exited an app while in full screen and will re-open in full screen. Unfortunately this is not the case for me as I am having to click my apps in to full screen each time I open them. Does anyone know if there is some sort of preference file I can clear to get this functionality?
Thanks

"How does one choose what player to use when , once saved to desktop, they all seem to open the file regardless of the type extension (.ave , .wmv and so on)?"
You can select a "default" player to open a specific file by following the instructions in #2 of my previous post.
Just make sure whichever player you download is for the Intel Mac.
"For instance , say you`re in a forum and there`e is a "hey , look at this...' type of thing. The "look at this" being an attachment of some sort."
This involves your "browser" plug-ins. Assuming you are using QuickTime, this is done through QuickTime MIME Settings.
Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
Some browsers have their own default player plug-ins that can override QuickTime when you make a player selection on certain website. For instance: Realplayer opens .rm files. QuickTime cannot open .rm files.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes.
Click the OK button.
I would restart just to be on the safe side.
=========================
Sorry, I am not familiar with Intel Macs. Suggest that if you have any concerns besides QuickTime, you may wish to cross-post in the Intel-based iMac Forums where knowledgeable users using the same model computer as yourself hang out.
Maybe it would be easier if you would advise the type of player(s) you are interested in? I am assuming QuickTime since you posted in its forum. Are you having an issue making QT your default player?

Open movies in quicktime full screen by default

I've got a question regarding quicktime pro for windows: is it possible to launch movies in full screen by default?
The thing is that the movies will be shown on a video wall. The actual computer that is connected to the video wall is mounted directly behind it, a few meters above the ground, and cannot be used as a work station. Therefore, any changes to the media files playing on the video wall are made from another pc via Remote Desktop Connection: transfer a new media file to the start up folder and then reboot the (video wall) computer. This is why it is necessary that movies open in full screen by default. Is it possible?
Thanks!

Thank you so much! I never thought of changing the movie itself - I only tried to change the player settings...

Open Safari in full screen by default?

Is there any way to set Safari to open full screen? Mail, iTunes etc all open full screen, just safari seems to open in a small window, I know its easy to click the expand button, would be just nice to set it as default.

I found that if you quit Safari (while being in Full-Screen mode) with cmd-alt-q instead of cmd-q it opens in Full-Screen, but you have to remember to always close it with cmd-alt-q
I'm on Mavericks
Edit: It opens also the last website you have opened, sadly... it is like the option to "close windows when quitting applications" but only for Safari.

All of sudden my iphone 4s any picture I take outside I cannot forward via email or text and I can only see it, in the camera roll. When I try to open the picture full screen it is blank. Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your camera roll again.

Why won't large images open in full screen on first click?

I go to open an image (jpg, png) that has a byte size of 2000 x 3096. What ends up happening, is that it will initially open a full screen window, and after a second or so, that full screen window will shrink to a half screen window. Now I'm required to click the max window size button in the upper right corner to expand the window to full size, right click on the image, select View Image from the drop down menu, and then finally click in the image to get it to display in its full size.
Is there a plug-in, or a config. parameter that I can use, so that the image opens up in full screen mode from the start?

Is this with opening an image link from a web page or with viewing images that you already have stored on the computer?

Double Clicking Photo No Longer Opens in Full Screen

Hi all:
We have our preferences in iPhoto set so that double clicking a particular thumbnail opens the photo in Full Screen mode for editing.
Just this morning, for no apparent reason, we noticed that the photos when double clicked now open with gray (or black, I'll have to look again when I'm back home) space on the sides -- in a sort of "letterbox" effect. The pix still fill the screen from top to bottom like they used to, but they no longer stretch completely to the sides.
Any idea what has happened? We're thinking it's something easy, perhaps a stray click that unintentionally put us in a different iPhoto mode without us knowing it. (We did recheck our preference setting and "open in full screen" remains selected.)
Thanks for your help.

JDee:
Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist from your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and reset your preferences.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Safari in full screen by default

Hi.
Subject line says it all. When I start sfari by clicking on a link in anouther application like Mail, I'd like it to start in full screen mode instead of in the window by default. Can this be done?
Thanks,
Tom S.

The easiest way, I think, is to have Safari open already in full-screen mode because the link should then open as a new tab in the full-screen Safari. There is no user-accessible preference for Safari to enable full-screen by default but there might be one hidden in the PLIST file for it. Generally, you'll want Xcode Developer Tools downloaded from the Mac App Store so that you get access to the PLIST Editor so that you can both browse and tweak the PLIST file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist). This is a relatively advanced topic and hacking PLIST files can lead to problems. I'd have a look myself but I'm over my broadband limit this month and Xcode is almost 3GB.

Hi, after installing Adobe CC I tried opening Adobe Photoshop. This failed.
I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen.
Just moments after that there's a failure warning, no code number, only the warning that PS failed to open and PS will close.
I tried downloading it for a second time, but this did'nt solve the problem.
Befor the CC version I used a one year student version of Adobe CS6.
What can I do?

Regarding the Flash Player problem, disable Hardware Acceleration to circumvent driver incompatibilities.
Regarding the Flash Pro installation problems, post in the Flash forums or http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

Bridge from CS3 won't open and just sits on the task bar. If I hover over it, I can see a small view of the last screen I was working on. It won't open up full screen, what should I do. I've closed it and restarted my computer numerous times with no luck.

Safari will not open in full screen mode

After installing the 3-1-14 update from the Apps Store, Safari will not open in full screen mode when I click the double arrow in the upper right corner of the screen. If I try the View>Enter Full Screen it still will not open full screen. Prior to this update, everything was fine. I know the info on the update says it deals with iTunes and iBooks, but after installing it my problems began.
I am running the Mavericks (all updates installed) on an Mac mini (late 2013 edition), 16GB RAM.
Any suggestions?

Please disregard my question. The issue disappeared after a cold boot. Thanks.
