What is a full screen view?

My full screen view used to be a full screen view of a photo. Edge to edge, top to bottom. Now in slide show I have 1 inch vertical black bands on each side. In full screen view I have 1 1/2 inch vertical bands on each side plus the horizontal info bands. I suspect a solution is in iPhoto preferences but I can't find it. Can I get a real full screen view? (13 inch Mac Book running 10:6.5)

There is no solution in the Preferences or anywhere else.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and let the developers know you want a change.

Timeline and full screen view in PSE11

I have read as many reviews of PSE11 as I can find but none have mentioned the Timeline, which I use every day. Does it still exist in PSE11? What about the full screen view and compare side by side view? Do they still exist. If they do, can you still see the image full-size by clicking on it in full screen view?

Timeline and Full Screen View exists in PSE11 and all the earlier functionalities present in full screen view are present. The Timeline and Full Screen View can be accessed from View menu of Elements Organizer.

IPhoto 11 window won't open, only have full screen view

After I upgraded, the iphoto window would not come up. The menu bar at the top is active, and I am able to access my photos from Full Screen View. But when I toggle back, and close full screen, everything closes...
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Try 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.)
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.

Want an option to having a REAL full-screen view when in writing mode in Word (as there was in 2003)

For the present Word version (365) I have not found a way to be able to use the entire/total/really full screen estate when using writing mode in Word. (Perhaps there is a way, not discovered by me yet?) But what I want both in Word 365 and foremost in the
next iteration of Word, is the option to choose - when in writing/editing mode - the entire screen real estate, with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and nothing at the bottom of the screen either.
This must be possible to establish as an option?!
The Word 2003 had such a feature, but it (completely?) disappeared as an option from 2007 and later, as far as I can see, and this lack of being able to choose using a totally blank screen, from bezel to bezel, with no other things than what you write on
it, is for me and many other writers, who often also use a machine with a rather small screen, a significant missing feature!
As I see it, the real estate that is "given away" to give space to the two vertical columns (to give a for me the unnessary and unwanted "impression/illusion" of having to deal with a sheet of paper placed on the middle of the screen),
this real estate should instead be used as a typing "place". In other words: Many writers and others would really like to be able to use ALL the screen from left to right and from top to bottom to be filled with letters and words!
Can and will this technically be done? So that we again (as in 2003) can be given the option to choose (real) full-screen view?
I would really like to get some positive feedback from developers and decision makers in the Word developer team at Microsoft about the possibility of re-establishing this now seemingly missing option.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
As far as I know, this is currently not available in Office 2013. We are sorry that at this time we are not able to edit documents in a full screen mode that "with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and
nothing at the bottom of the screen either. "
We have passed this information to the product group for consideration for a future product or update.
Please be assured that our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.
Thanks for your understanding.

In PSE4, F11 (full screen view) deselects current image

I hesistate to put this in "suggested features" in case there is a trick I do not know about.
If I am in organizer and decide I would like to have a better look at the currently selected photo, I press F11 for a full screen view.
When I press Esc to get back, not only has my image been deselected, but the thumbnail pane has jumped back to the top so the image of interest is not even on the screen.
This means I have to remember the file name and scroll down again looking for it to get back to where I was.
Is there a way around this?
It would also be nice if the filename could be displayed while in full screen mode as many of my images do not have captions set. And a caption may not uniquely identify the particular file anyway.

Thanks Codebreaker for the "Alt+Enter" trick - that helps a lot.
Brian has isolated the problem well. I was a bit confused that things sometimes seemed to work OK. Unfortunately, showing only files in the selected folder is my preferred mode to make scrolling the thumbnails up and down a bit easier.
It would be nice to think the problem may be solved in a future update, but for now, knowing what is going on makes it easier to get on with the job.
I do not think the other bug, jumping thumbnails, is related because in that case F5 corrects the problem (which it does not do in this case).
I do not quite understand Karin's suggestion. My "Back" button (top left of screen) is greyed out much of the time anyway.

Full-screen view in PSE 12?

When I am editing a photograph in PSE 12, I would like to be able to expand the photo I'm working on periodically while I'm working on it, such that I can see, full screen, what the actual results of my manipulations in the picture will be. I can't find any way to [easily] get Photoshop Elements 12 to go to a full-screen view (and then to go right back into the working, image-adjusting views to continue with the various processings). Any way to do this right within PSE 12, without leaving PSE to look at the emerging image in another program??
Thank you for any assistance,
Peter

Thank you, R_Kelly!
I'm using Windows 7 (on PC), so I *can* do the procedure you described (and have tried it just now)...
I do like this "floating window" setting, for several reasons, and think it will be quite useful, so I thank you very much for your reply!
But... While doing this does indeed eliminate the outside-the-image clutter and therefore makes the image-in-progress somewhat easier to assess, it doesn't really do anything to make the image fill the entire monitor screen (as I can easily do with most other photo viewers). I'm getting the feeling that an entire-screen image isn't doable in PSE 12 at all (why the heck wouldn't they put that in??), so probably doing the floating-window-maximized thing is about as close as I'm going to get to what I really want to do. Better than nothing, I suppose, but I really don't understand why they (Adobe) would leave out such an obviously useful/important option.
Thank you, though. Did learn something I know will be helpful~~

Colors different in full screen view

I could as well post this under "Mac OS X", but I think here in the Aperture forum it is more likely to get help.
I have the following problem: when viewing images in full screen mode, their colors are different than in the normal windows mode. The difference is not subtle, but severe. For example blue skies have a lot more red and appear much more saturated.
While trying to narrow down this problem I found out the following (and here it starts to get really strange): I exported one image as a JPEG to the desktop to see what the colors would be. The thumbnail then had the oversaturated colors of the full screen view in Aperture. When clicking on it, Preview showed the correct colors with a normal blue sky. When switching to slideshow mode in Preview, again the oversaturated colors from Aperture full screen came up.
When I disconnect my 23" Cinema Display, the full screen view of Preview shows the same colors on my PB like in window mode. So I believe it has something to do with my 23" CD.
Can anybody come up with a good explanation for this behaviour? Could this be some kind of a profile problem?
Any help appreciated
PB G4/1.5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Aperture 1.1.1

I read Zausel's post that referred to the Colorsync Utility. Under the Devices tab I was able to see both my monitors and confirm they were both assigned the proper profile (they were). There is an option to "Make Default Display" in this utility. I noticed it was defaulting to the Color LCD of the MacBook Pro. I had already set my 23" to my main screen in the display control panel by dragging the menu bar to the big screen in the layout tab. I selected the 23" screen in Colorsync Utility and selected it as the "Make Default Display". Now my full screen previews are accurate. Aperture must use the display profile for normal view screens, thumbnails, light table, but change to the default display profile when it does full screen. (previously, it was using the profile for the 15" MBPro screen for full screen views; thus the inaccurate color) Now everything is in sync and my color looks good on the big display in both normal view and in full screen. Hope this helps someone else.

Explanation sought: why do alternate photos appear with top/bottom border in full screen view?

I've moved over to Photos - no especial problems to report.
But I'd be very glad if anyone can explain why, in full screen view, some photos appear as smaller than others. That is, some photos appear with larger black borders to the sides and about half a centimetre of black border top and bottom. Normally photos go to the edge of screen top and bottom - which is as you'd hope, so you can see the maximum amount of detail.
It happens with portrait and landscape format. So far as I can work out, the pattern is that one photo will display in full screen, then the next one not, flip-flopping back and forth. Apart from wasting screen space, this makes it harder to (e.g) HDR and normal versions of the same shot. Is anyone experiencing the same, or got any ideas what could be going on, or even better, how to stop this?
For clarity: I am looking at photos taken in the past few days on an iPhone 5s.

How do i get out of full-screen view in Safari?

When i am in full-screen view, the dock below disappears and so does the menu-bar above. Then I don't know how to get out of full-screen view. What should i do?

Press the escape key, but, when you move the cursor to the top of the screen, doesn’t the menu bar reappear? It is supposed to.

How to get back to Full Screen View?

I have been opening images of one of my iPhoto albums in Full Screen View adding four or five more images from the thumbnails row to see them simultaneously. So they appeared in a smaller size to fit the screen. But now whenever I want to open one of the images of this album in Full Screen View they only show in the smaller size in the Full Screen View window. I cannot get them back to real Full Screen size. Is there a simpel button that I have overlooked or what else could be the problem? Thanks for any help.
Moriaan

Yes I have, the slider can go to the max, the image becomes bigger but does not go to the full Full Screen View. When I try an other image from this same album the same thing happens again, in a flash it opens big (full screen) but instantly goes to a smaller size. Even though I open only one image it takes on the size as though it had to share the full screen with five other images. However if I open an image from a different album everything works oke, I press the Full Screen View button and I get the full screen as it should be. Only this particular album where I opened several images in one Full Screen View before gives this problem.

Full screen view is tiny. Why?

I used to watch movies,etc. in iTunes in full screen view all the time. Now when I choose it, the display is tiny. No matter what I choose, music video, TV show or movie, my full screen view will not work. Help!

Had the same problem and found the fix on another thread.
Play a movie and view full screen, with the postage stamp sized video.
Hit Command (Apple)-3, it'll return to full-screen view.
Command-2 will adjust to actual size.
Annoying little thing huh?

Full screen view is blank

When I try to view Images in full screen view, they show up blank. They use to work just last week. I can see them pop up as I scroll from image to image, and the thumbnail shows up as I zoom into the image, but the full size image is blank. Any thoughts? (I have everything updated).
Thank you!

What version of iPhoto are you running? If it's iPhoto 11 then try the following: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
