Yosemite: How do I get back from full-screen to original window size?

Okay, so today I used iPhoto for the first time since I reluctantly upgraded to Yosemite on Friday.
iPhoto is one of the few apps I often take into full-screen mode, and so obviously I noticed today that they've kindly taken away the full-screen arrows in the top right-hand corner of the window in Yosemite.
Posting a question about that in Support revealed the 'new improved' way to go full-screen, which is to click on the green traffic light in the top left-hand corner of the window.
Fair enough, but how do I get my iPhoto window back to the size it was before I went full-screen? I tried clicking the green-button again, but that insists on the window being what I call 'maximised', ie. spread across the entire width of my desktop. I want to snap from full-screen back to the window size I had before going full screen.
The arrows in the top right-hand corner used to do that perfectly well, but they're not there any more so I'm having to resort to laboriously re-sizing my window each time, which is far from ideal.
Anyone able to advise me please?

Do we know if it is iPhoto-specific, or do all app windows behave in this way?
Actually, I suppose I could find that out for myself...

  • I cannot get back from full screen to normal view

    On full screen, there is no back button or any button other than the browsing tabs. I have to close firefox using task manager
    system is dell mini 10 using windows 7 starter.
    latest firefox, 3.6.10 downloaded today

    I got a way away from this problem. When in full screen, if you move you mouse to the top right corner of your screen, there would be the options "Close", "Restore" and "Minimize". You should click on restore and the screen would come back to the normal view. Thanks.

    plz tell me how I can get back from the recovery mode to my normal mode without lossining data...I stuck in this mode while I was try to update ios 7 in my 4s

    If it's in recovery mode, anything on the phone is already gone.  Restore the phone using iTunes, then restore it from your last backup. If you've been backing up on a regular basis as intended, you won't lose anything except what's changed since the last backup.

    How do you get out of Full Screen mode in Excel? No red or yellow buttons visible. Using just installed Yosemite iOS 10.10.2

    I Don't think Microsoft updated it for those buttons. Look for a blue button with arrows in it on the right side of the menu bar.
    Also try Esc key.

  • How do I get out of "full screen" view. When I put my crusor at the top of the screen I get SOME menus showing, but nothe the "firefox" drop-down where I selected full screed (I was just trying to zoom out, actually)

    I think the question pretty well summed it up. I selected full screen mode from the "firefox" drop-down box at the top left, but once in full screen mode, the drop-down box is not available. How do I get back to the standard view??

    Press the F11 key to toggle into and out of full screen mode.
    Or, move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen and right-click the "+" (new tab) button, or in a blank area of the tab bar, or in a blank area after the address box, and exit full screen mode from the context menu.
