Quick question: Full Screen

When color correcting my footage. I find it necessary to make my canvas full screen and back to my color correction workflow very often. Is there a keyboard short cut that does this?

Go to the View menu > Video Playback. Turn on Digital Cinema Desktop.
Pressing Command & F12 will switch between the regular interface and fullscreen.

Show desktop no longer works in Quick Look Full Screen view

Is anyone besides myself missing this functionality in Lion? Previously in Snow Leopard, you could be looking at a full screen slideshow in Quick View (by doing cmd+A and hitting the space bar then the full screen arrows) and at any time you were able to do a gesture swipe in order to show the desktop (or you could use a hot corner or keyboard shortcut) and then swipe back down to restore the full screen photo or slideshow. This function is now either broken or just ommitted all together for some reason.
I just can't figure out what logic there was in removing this feature. Anybody care to guess ?

Hi,
I had the same problem (the "show desktop" function didn't work in the corner, nor after pressing the keyboard button) and I found no real fix even after an extensive research, including a restart, permission repair, deleting some files/cache from the Library folder and so. THAN I discovered a function in Onyx which turns the "Mission Control" on and off. It was off (unchecked) in my case, so I checked it on and voilà, all of sudden the "Show desktop" function works again! Hot corners as well!
In Onyx -> Parameters -> Mission Control -> Turn on Mission Control.
Hope it helps!
Happy New Year to you all!

Quick Look full screen mode won't move to next image?

When I highlight the first image in a folder full of multiple images and then press "Space" quick look opens and shows me that first image. I can then move on to the next image by simply pressing the down arrow.
But if I enter quick look's full screen mode it won't move to the next image unless I first select all the images in the folder before entering full screen mode?
Why? Why would functionality SO simple (move to the next image) not be included in the full screen mode of quick look? It renders the full screen mode essentially pointless, who wants to look at ONE image in full screen? Of course everyone wants to browse the images, but why should I have to select all of them, why not just let me move from one to the next... exactly as I can when NOT in full screen mode?
C'mon apple...

I remembered that there had been a slight bug in the Leopard Quicklook, so that if you went to full-screen QL, then used Command-Tab to switch to another program, then Command-Tab back to Finder, you would be back in QL Full Screen, but you could now navigate with the arrow keys. At first I thought this had been fixed, and started mucking about with other key combos and accidently got it going again. Took awhile to figure out exactly what I had done, but it works like this:
1. Select your file, hit spacebar and click the full screen arrows
2. Command-tab to some other program
3. Mouse click the toolbar or sidebar of the open folder with your file in it
4. You can now navigate with the arrow keys
Although I don't really see how this is better or easier than opening the folder, hitting Command-A, then bringing up QL....

Quick Look Full Screen Issue from Desktop

I have an issue with quick looking files in full screen from a screen other than that which is occupied by the Finder.
Example, I have a pdf on my desktop, if I Quick Look it, it opens OK on all screens but if I try to go into full screeen from Quick Look it does not work unless I am on the same screen as the Finder.
On close inspection, this is because the Finder App options is set to 'This Desktop' (control-click on the Finder icon in the dock and choose Options). If I set it to 'None' then this issue cannot be replicated. Anyone think that this is an issue with Lion and Quick Look should not be written this way? This was initially confusing for me and I though that something was broken.

Quick time full screen on external display

I've connected an old CRT Monitor to my Powerbook, works fine. I'm using it to play Movies on it in Full Screen Mode while my Powerbook's screen is free for using any other application. Unfortunately, this works with Apple DVD player and VLC player. In these applications, I just drag the movie window into the middle of the external screen and choose "Full Screen". If I do this in QT (pro), the movie comes on full screen on the built-in screen. In iTunes, the animation appears in full screen on the external monitor, but the Powerbook's screen turns black.
Can I do anything about this?
Powerbook G4 (and one old iBook original tangerine) Mac OS X (10.4.6) iTunes 6.0.4 QT pro 7.0.4
Powerbook G4 (and one old iBook original tangerine) Mac OS X (10.4.2)

In the Quicktime Player, under the View menu select Present Movie. In the sheet that appears you'll get a little layout of the available screens. Just select external monitor and hit play.
I'm not sure about iTunes.

Aesthetic question - full screen wallpaper on E51

I've set an image from my memory card as my wallpaper but there's still a border around the edge. Is there a way to set this so that the image is full screen?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On an E51 the only way to get a full screen wallpaper is if you create a theme and set the image to full screen within it.
The simplest way to create a theme is to use a theme creator on a website. See the two links below for sites that make it easy to create themes.

Quick question re: screen capture

Everytime I do an apple-option-4 screen cap, I get a .png file. I'd really like the computer to be spitting out .jpg files, like my laptop at home. Can someone give me a clue?

you can command-shift-4 and then in Preview "Save As" and choose jpg. Or you can use Grab in Utilities to get a tiff.

Quick question on screen blank

Blanking of X is completely independent of blanking the console. 'man setterm' tells you that 'setterm -blank 0' disables blanking - so you can either edit rc.sysinit (and remember to edit it every time initscripts package gets updated), or just put 'setterm -blank 0' to rc.local.

Quick full screen slideshow question

Hello, I'm so so close to finishing my first website with Adobe Muse, but there's just one thing that's keeping it from being perfect. I'm trying to create a website similar to this -- http://www.heatherannecampbell.com/ I've got all my photos ready, the navigation bar is all designed, but when I use the full screen slideshow widget, I can only either make it full screen, which obstructs my navigation bar or I can uncheck the full screen have my navigation bar shown, but the left and right columns just appear white - Like so http://imgur.com/oBRNAt7
Thanks for your help!!

Hello,
Do you mean to say that you are unable to see the navigation bar when fullscreen is checked in Full screen Slideshow widget.
If yes, then you just need to check the layers, Navigation bar needs to be on the top layer. Please refer to Screenshot below.
You can share some screenshot of Plan view so that we can get better idea of what all setting you are using.

It's a Magic Mouse question. I have set this up in Preferences by ticking Swipe between pages with one finger and also Swipe between full-screen apps with two fingers, however when I try to do the latter, the 2 finger swipe will take me from the app that I am on to the dashboard only and not to my other open apps.
I also find that Smart zoom only works with some apps, for instance not with Word docs or email.
How can I correct this please?

Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

Problem with full screen Quick Look preview

With multiple images selected, I used to be able to hold down Option-Spacebar to get full screen previews in Quick Look. Now with Mavericks, I only get the full screen look at the first image in the batch. The rest do not view full screen. Any ideas why this is happening?

RobbyBoy wrote:
But why would I have to keep holding the Option key after the initial Option-Spacebar to get the full screen previews? Shouldn't all the images I originally selected be full screen? It used to work this way in Mountain Lion. Maybe a bug in Mavericks?
I guess we need to define "full screen" and "full size" so we're sure we're talking about the same thing.
For me, full size means that the image is shown in its true pixel dimensions, and full screen means that QuickLook takes over the entire screen, displaying full size images on a black background. Further, images that are opened in full screen QuickLook can be zoomed in upon to fill up the screen either vertically or horizontally, depending on the image's format, in relation to my screen's dimensions.
When I QuickLook images (one or more) in full screen by pressing option-space bar, the image (or, the first image in a group) appears full size on a black background that fills my screen.
When I press the right arrow key, the next image in my selection opens full size on top of the same black background.
When one of the images I have selected is open on the black background in full-screen QuickLook and I press and hold the option key, that image is zoomed to fill up the screen, and when I let go of the option key, the image zooms back out to its full size.
Alternatively, and if this option is enabled in System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom, I can hold the control key down and use scrolling gestures to zoom in and out of images open in full screen QuickLook.
That is, as far as I know, QuickLook's expected behavior.

Full Screen Photos In Slide Show & Other Questions

Hi - I'm using Premiere Elements 4. I have a few questions since I'm new to using the program. First of all, how do I get the photos to take up the whole screen (instead of showing a black border) when they are played back? They were taken on a 7.2 megapixel camera at the maximum quality setting. Also, the resolution is bad when it's played back but fine when you see the preview of the photos in the program. I've seen other posts about needing to change the resolution but I was wondering if I got the photos to play full screen if that might fix my problem because I can play the photos as a slide show in the Windows Photo Gallery Program and the resolution is perfect and the photos take up the whole screen.
Secondly, how do I delete a menu from the Disc Menus Section? Also, how would I delete the "Scene Selection" button from the menu screen that I want to keep? I want to be able to have a menu with just a "play all" button.
Thanks for your help.

The only way to remove Scene Menu button from Disc Menus is to physically remove it from the template by editing it (They're PSD files) in Photoshop Elements.
As for photos, DO NOT use photos from that 7.2 megapixel camera at full resolution, niagara. It's a sure recipe for disaster. RAther, per the FAQs at the top of this forum, rez those photos all down to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bb8822c
That done, you can get your photos to fill your screen one of two ways:
a) Leave the Default to Frame Size option checked in your preferences. The only case in which this won't work is if you're using 4:3 photos in a 16:9 widescreen project.
b) If this is the case, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck Default to Frame Size BEFORE you import that photos into your project. (It won't work if you do it after.) Then, after placing each photo on your timeline, right-click on each, select Show Properties and, in Properties, open Motion and set Scale to 85%. Note that, because your photos and the widescreen have different aspect ratios, you will lose some of the vertical off the tops and bottoms of your photos.
There are many more ways to do it -- but it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

Quick Way To Launchpad & Desktop With Full Screen Mode

1. Is there any way to fix it so that I can get the desktop and launchpad in between the dashboard and full screen apps?
Dashboard <> Desktop <> Launchpad <> Full screen app 1 <> Full screen app 2 <> etc
2. Is there a way I can quickly get to the launchpad with a keystroke. In my old way of working I used to use the dock as a launchpad. Having to go to the doc to launch launchpad and then get to an app seems like superfluous effort.
Thanks

Hi - I'm with you! Having to go to the dock to pull up launchpad seems superfulous. I would like to keep the launchpad screen open on my Mac all the time, like it is on my iPad and iPhone.
Anyone know how to do this????

Probabally old question, but why can't I get Full Screen?

Hi, I have the latest Quicktime, upgraded to Quicktime Pro...installed and registered but still no full screen. At Best I can few 3/4 screen. What do I need to do to fix? My old Windows Media was a true full screen....Is Apples? Thanks, Bill

As they say in the movies, "What we have here is a failure to communicate." Or, in this case, a simple problem of semantics. If you are asking if there is a QT Player setting that will "automatically" scale both height and width of your movie to the size of your monitor screen, then the answer is "no, not unless the aspect ratio of both your screen and your movie happen to be exactly the same." What you do have is:
1) Full Screen - display of movie without contol planel centered to monitor screen with non-display areas (if any) rendered as a user selectable solid color. Default size of movie area can be set using the "Prefeence" option to Half, Actual, Double, Full Screen (i.e., scaled), and Current.
2) Presentation - display of movie in "Full Screen" mode with the option to temporariy modify the default display size.
3) Half Size - movie displayed in control panel at one half the "normal" size.
4) Actual Size - movie displayed in control panel at "normal" size.
5) Double Size - movie displayed in control panel at twice the "normal" size.
6) Fit to Screen - movie displayed in control panel with height of control panel scaled to height of screen less menu bar or width of control panel scaled to width of screen depending on which dimension requires the lesser amount of scaling.
What you don't have is a "Zoom" mode in which the lesser relative dimension is scaled the the associated screen dimension with excess display area "cropped" from screen. However, if you are not a "purist" you can always "simulate" either the "zoom" option or a true "fill" screen option. To do this, simply
a) open the "Show Movie Properties" window
b) set the video track display setting shorter relative dimension to the associated monitor display dimension with "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option selected to simulate a "cropped/zoom" screen display or
c) set the height and width of the video track display setting to exactly match you monitor display setting with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option deselected to simulate a "fill" screen display
If you wish to preserve your movie settting for quick and easy viewing at a later time, then add the following steps:
d) select the main movie track
e) set the "Automatically Play" option under the "Presentation" tab to auto play the movie when opened
f) set the "Enter full screen" option under the "Presentation" tab to hide the menu bar when playing
g) save the movie as a reference movie in the same drive location and do not delete or move the orginal file
Now you can view the "fill" or "zoom" version of your movie whenever you wish by simply double-clicking the reference movie icon. Hope that helps.

Window order question when using Full screen

Hello all,
This is my first time posting.. Probably many more to come.. But this is probably a really easy question. I am really new to Cocoa and am picking it up slowly one step at a time.
I am making an application where I need a full screen animation to work with. I have been able to get that up and running and have been able to use a keyboard event to toggle the window to go to full screen and back to window size. However, once I go from the window (which when the app starts is window size) to full screen then back to window I cannot go back into full screen without reselecting that window. What can I do to get it so it will go back and forth all day without having to physically click the window? I have tried using the [self becomeFirstResponder] after it exits full screen and didn't help. I am using the [self enterFullScreenMode:[NSScreen mainScreen] withOptions:nil]. This will be on a MacMini installed kind of like a kiosk so it won't have a keyboard and mouse at all times.. And I might be only using the apple remote or something like that for control.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi speluttiero!
