Hi,


I'm putting a book together with portraits (photo's), audio and text. But when I have transferred it to my iPad I can't tap the photo to make it fullscreen. I can pinch it but it won't 'stick'. It seems simple but it doesn't seem to work only in gallery but I have just one portrait on each page.

Anybody an idea?

Yes, I noticed that the Gallery function works for watching photos fulltime screen.

But I have one photo each page and to use the gallery function is not usefull for that, also not very nice to see in a design way. I don't want the arrows next to just one photo...

It seems that it is just not possible. I guess I should mail this to Apple but to whom? :-)

If you select the image, go to the inspector and click on the "Widget" (folder with a gear in the middle) tab you can add a "frame" by selecting one or all of the check boxes (title, caption, background) and you end up with a photo which will expand to full screen when tapped on the iPad.


It works great and if you don't need a title or a caption, just leave the text box empty.


However! There does appear to be a problem if you set up one of these frames in your template. For now, when I drag and drop a new image over the "framed" placeholder, the new image appears just fine. But, when you open the eBook on the iPad, the full-screen images all come up as the original placeholder image.


I haven't found a way to fix this, so as it stand right now I will have to layout each of these pages by hand. Not the end of the world for the size document I'm working on, but one **** of a job for anyone with a large batch of images to work with.


Hopefully someone will come up with the hidden attribute that needs changing in order to fix this.
