Preview Aperture Book in Full Screen

Hi,
I'm working on a Macbook Pro 13" and would like to view my photo book in full screen so that I can get a better look at it before I send it off for printing (the inspector takes up 1/3 of the screen which limits the size of my book pages). I recently moved from iPhoto to Aperture, and I'm sure I remember previewing my books in full screen in iPhoto. I'm sure there is a way to view the book pages in full screen in Aperture, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

iMac Model?
Mac OS X version?

  • Books - no full-screen view of page?

    I would find it useful to be able to see a page of an Aperture Book I'm working on in full-screen mode. I don't find a way to do it. Full-screen mode works on an image from the Browser strip below the book-edit Viewer, or an image from the page, but not on the page itself. I just want to see a single page at 100% (or slightly more) with a black background, so as to check composition and detail in the same view.
    Before I put this in as a feature request, though, I thought I should ask if I'm just missing it somewhere.

    Perhaps full-screen mode would give you more of
    what
    you want?
    Well, yes, that's what I'm asking for.
    Sorry Charles - I mis-interpreted what you said as a request for having the book or light-table open full-screen on the second monitor.
    If an image on the page is selected in the
    book-editor viewer, pressing F brings the image into
    full-screen mode. If you deselect the image (select
    the whole page, or nothing, in the viewer), pressing
    F yields a full-screen mode which is completely black.
    I saw there was a Bagelturf article on laying out books and full-screen mode, but it was only to adjust one image.
    But yes, the ability to have a full-screen book or light table or web-gallery layout (on either monitor) would be very good).
    I was excited myself as I thought full-screen mode would work, and was going to rush home to try it, but alas it's not to be.

  • How to view iPhoto book pages full screen

    I have made a book in the latest version of Aperture. Now I want to view the pages of my book in full screen view - the book, not the individual pics. It would be great if I could make the book pages into a slideshow too. I can't work it out - HELP!!!

    Welcome to the forum.
    It's a bit of round robin, but you can make it a slide show. Go to File >> Print Book. In the print dialog click the PDF button in the lower left corner and choose "Save PDF to Aperture". This will bring up the import PDF Import dialog. Choose either Tiff or JPEG, and either chose a project or create a new one to save it in. Voila! You now have images of the pages to make a slideshow with. You still may want to crop the borders off the pages.

  • Preview always opens in full screen.

    Preview always opens in full screen. I change it to non full screen. Then I close the app. When reopening, its back to full screen again.... annoying. Any suggestions??

  • HT3771 Previewing a document in full screen before printing?

    How do i preview a pdf doc in full screen before i print it (or any document for that mater)?
    I need to check that i can see all the pages before i print it, as i am printng 6 slides on one page.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    There are lots of useful tool 'buttons' available in Preview that are not included in the default toolbar.
    Open a multi-page document in Preview, and then select Tools, Customize Toolbar.
    I find Print, Actual Size, Zoom to Fit, and Page (number) to be useful when viewing, editing, and printing multi-page pdfs.
    Be sure to drag the lower left corner of the pdf Preview window to full size or click the double-arrow to see all the tool buttons you've added.
    If you view a multi-page pdf with the Sidebar visible in the right column, you'll have the advantage of seeing page thumbnails and still able to check the full-size document in the left window.
    I use the Actual Size button to quickly zoom the left window, but you can also click the '+' button to increase the document to 100% size, to verify the contents of each page.
    Clicking the 'Print' button seems to take away all of that, showing only a thumbnail of the each page again.
    BUT...
    click the pdf button at the bottom left of the screen, and select 'Open PDF in Preview'
    I know this seems redundant, but it reopens the document in a scrollable (6-image per page) view where you can still zoom AND has a 'Print' button at the bottom that will start the printing immediately, once you're satisfied with the result.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT2506 Preview always opens with full screen. Can I change this preference?

    Is there an option to have Preview NOT open each image in full screen mode?

    I've noticed the same thing. What I do is open Ps and manually expand the window frame to the largest extent possible on a single monitor. (it's not truly full screen but close enough.) If I then close Ps or bring Lightroom to the front the "maximal" state will be maintained when Ps is brought to the front again. I do not click the Maximize icon since Ps never sticks in that state when interacting with Lightroom.
    I should also point out that I use two monitors so your results may be different if you use only one monitor.

  • Aperture 3.5 Full screen

    I think Apple totaly messed up aperture 3.5 in full screen mode in Maverics. Now my second display is rendered useless. The menu bar will not go away. I use the menu item "Swap Displays" to put the browser on my smaller second display. This menu item now does noting! Why have a menu item if it does nothing. Apple was asleep at the switch. Maverics was supposed to be great for multple displays, not!

    I've had the same problem.  I tried the solution listed above :
    (System Preferences->Mission Control->Displays have separate Spaces).
    But this wasn't a fix to the swap display problem.  I contacted Applecare, and they recreated the same problem, but haven't been able to offer a solution or workaround.  Now my secondary display is useless (which is essential to my photo-editing workflow).
    Have you found a fix?
    Typically, I use the main screen to show the single image that I'm working on, and the secondary display for both the inspector HUD and grid view. To achieve this, I use full screen mode + swap displays.

  • HT2506 Preview is now opening full screen always.  Want it window size

    All of a sudden, Preview is opening images in Full Screen only.  It used to open in a window.  I have looked everywhere to change this back from full screen to window size.  I have checked the Preferences and Get Info.  Please help and tell Apple to quit messing around with our apps.  :-)  So annoying.

    Press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode. Close all windows. Quit and relaunch Safari. Does the same thing happen?

  • Aperture 3.5 Full Screen mode really buggy

    Let's try this again....
    I'm looking for anyone else having this problems to see if they have found a work around.
    I have been having several intermittent problems with Aperture 3.5 in full screen mode with Mavericks. Most of the time, it's ok. But now and then, it seems to get stuck on something. When I swipe to go back to another application, it goes to my widget's panel, not the desktop. Swiping up to get mission control, I see the desktop and go to it. That really messes aperture up. You go back into it and its a black screen. I try to get out by pressing F and sometimes it works, sometimes not. When it DOES work, I will select an image in the browsers and strangely enough, the screen goes black and it goes back into full screen mode. Kind of a mess.
    Additionally, the entire app seems to drag. Selecting an image make take 3-5 seconds for it to switch from the one it is on to the one I selected. And I'm using a fully loaded top processor speed/max memory 27" iMac from last year.
    Has anyone else experienced this and found a work around?

    Thanks, both.
    I did try it and it somewhat changes the problem, but it is still there. The full screen system seems to get messed up and when it does, it can't seem to get out of it totally. When it starts singing daisy in full screen mode and you get it to exit full screen mode, the top menu disappears and selecting anything (even empty gray space) within the app sends it back into full screen mode, but once here, nothing responds to user action (can't select images from the browser, the HUD is unresponsive, etc). A few other quirks I can't nail down with any consistency.
    The only way I have found to avoid it is to completely exit the application, reboot, restart it and never go into full screen mode. It's still a little more sluggish that it should be, but at least I can do my work and get things to clients. Entering full screen mode just seems to be too buggy for practical purposes so far.

  • PDF preview using SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW in full screen

    Dear Friends,
    I am using SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW Function Module to display a PDF preview.
    For this i have designed a Smartform and capturing the JOB_OUTPUT_INFO from FM that i get dynamically and using that as export parameter for SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW.
    I am able to see the PDF preview, but it is coming as a pop up in a predefined size. Can i change the size in which it is displayed?
    Pls let me know.
    Thanks,
    Simha

    Hi,
    Thanks for the update.
    Which window resize you meant?

  • Full screen preview and slideshow are blurry / fuzzy

    Hi folks-
    I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, in part to improve efficiency of selecting photos - I wanted the zoom and loupe features. Unfortunately a very basic function has been compromised and I'm hoping there's a solution: In both full-screen preview and slideshow the full-screen image is notably blurry. This is a problem for two reasons: 1. I can't judge pictures accurately by just flipping through them in full-screen mode (without zooming to 100% to see if they are well-focused). 2. I can't use Slideshow for, well, slideshows. I've had to resort to keeping another app (like Windows Picture Viewer) open just to be able to quickly flip through and evaluate images full-screen or to show slideshows.
    I've tried setting all the options related to image quality (they mostly have to do with caching thumbnails and speeding 100% viewing); I've tried purging the cache files. Nothing helps.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    It seems to me that there is something wrong with it.
    I am trying Bridge CS4 as a viewer for my JPEG files.
    I also noticed that the previews were fuzzy. I activated the high-quality previews as well as the option to generate the previews at screen size.
    Here's what I noticed. I went to check out a specific photo that is quite sharp with a number of straight lines, angles, details, where it's very easy to detect a lack of sharpness. That photo immediately looked fuzzy to me, which didn't jive with my memory of it. I quickly opened it in other viewers, which displayed it as intended with all the expected sharpness.
    So, I went through the settings to see where the problem could be and I immediately thought of checking the box to get software previews instead of hardware, restarted the app, purged the cache, tried again. There my photo had recovered its sharpness, or at least most of it. I thought I found the culprit, but not quite.
    I went to browse other photos and found one in particular with a lot of fine detail (hair) and that photo also didn't display all the sharpness that it should have (I was still using software mode). The difference was very slight and to make sure of it it required A/B comparison between Bridge and PS, but there was a difference.
    Now I tried the opposite. I went back to hardware rendering mode, restarted, purged the cache, tried again. That second photo looked alright in preview, but the previous photo looked fuzzy again.
    So, it doesn't work the same way for each photo...
    What's the main difference between the first photo, obviously fuzzy in hardware mode, and the second one, alright in hardware mode but slightly fuzzier in software? The ratio. The first one is a vertical photo, the second one is horizontal (close to square).
    I quickly checked other vertical photos and they showed the same behavior...
    Now staying in hardware mode, I noticed something else. When I preview the vertical photo and click on it, or double click, it quickly jumps, switching between 2 versions of the photo: the one displayed originally (fuzzy) and another one, with a very slightly different size, which is sharp. During that manipulation it also briefly displays "100%" at the top of the screen. It doesn't stick when you click and immediately switches back, so it looks like a glitch.
    Now in software mode, I tried the same, this time you can click once on the photo (which is originally displayed *almost* sharp). When you click once, it displays "100%" but also displays a very slightly smaller version that is clearly fuzzy. Clicking again goes back to the other, less fuzzy one, but doesn't display "100%" this time.
    Doing the same test on horizontal photos shows no change that I can see.
    So, it seems to me that in the preview mode, Bridge has trouble displaying some photos (vertical ones?) in their actual resolution (100%)
    and since there is a slight resizing going on, it brings fuzziness. This doesn't explain the very slight fuzziness seen on horizontal photos in software mode.
    Now I'll mention, for those still awake, that I saw no fuzziness on the same vertical photos when I go to Review Mode with *hardware* rendering. Photos there are sharp. Now if I go to the review mode with software rendering enabled, vertical photos are not 100% sharp (akin to the small difference I mentioned earlier while in software mode), while they are sharper in preview.
    To sum up, it seems that the only configuration that gives me consistently 100% sharp (=as they were meant to be after post-processing) photos no matter what their orientation, is when I stay in hardware rendering mode and use the Review Mode, instead of preview.
    This all really smells like a bug.
    For info, I am using Windows 7 and an ATI HD4850 card, and this only about processed JPEG files, not RAW files.
    Perhaps the preview is really meant as a quick preview and not a tool to view final photos at 100% accuracy...

  • Full screen preview

    Hi,
    Is there an option to preview your sequence on full screen? If only have one monitor? I don't mind that quality is less, It's just that sometimes you might want to look at things a little bigger without having a 2nd monitor. The closest I can see to getting this is by undocking,
    any suggestions?

    I'm geussing this key is this # or with shift + # , it is this ~
    it doesnot work for me, I have my panel selected, (tried it on all of them)
    Also can't find it in keyboard customisation,
    i'm on premiere Pro CS3, windows xp
    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. -.-

  • AE CC - Timeline expands to project length after full screen preview

    This seems to have only started happening recently, and it's a pain. After you preview an effect in full screen, the time navigator brackets are pulled to the very start and end of the video. You return from a fullscreen video preview to see your timeline extended over the whole duration of the project.
    Is there some way to turn this off? I frequently work on small sections of a project, regularly watching full-screen previews to check how various changes look, and after the tenth or so time what starts as a minor irritation becomes completely infuriating. It seems like something easily fixed, but I've had no luck finding out how.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ah, okay, this is a more interesting problem than I thought. Sorry I didn't put that info in before; my assumption was this was a poorly-considered feature which could be easily turned off and I was just too dumb to figure out how.
    I'm on Windows 7 x64, running AE version 12.2.1.5 (as far as I'm aware this is the latest version). I haven't done anything dramatic with my PC lately or with AE settings. If it helps, I'm running with: an Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4GHz, 16GB RAM, using an Nvidia GeForce GT530.

  • Full Screen display of iSight or other video camera input

    Ok - I've looked at iMovie and iChat and PhotoBooth - all the built in software to solve this fairly basic but maybe slightly odd need. I want to dedicate my display to show the camera video input. How can I do that full screen - not just in a window?
    The need is that for video conferencing with WebEx - the video feed is low quality and it would be useful at times for the presenter to share higher resolution video. I can almost do this with iChat - I aim the camera at the source, and then use the iChat preview and then use "share desktop" with WebEx. Voila - relatively high resolution video. Yes, it's one way - but it's still really useful for some situations.
    But the preview won't go full screen. Is there a MacBook app that will show the video input full screen?

    The iSight is either 640x480 (older MBPs) or 1280x1024 (newer MBPs). Displaying it 'full screen' especially in an older MBP (which is what you have if you're posting in the correct forum) would result in a horribly pixelated image, not 'high resolution'. The apps that show the iSight feed are showing it at its native resolution, and that's a limitation of the hardware. If you need higher resolution, you can attach a higher resolution video camera (for example, my Panasonic DV camcorder connects via FireWire and can be used as a webcam).
