When I am in finder and viewing pictures, they all open in an almost minimized view, I can strech or maximize it manually but not automatically. How do i set it to open in full screen every time?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Hello,
I think this should be the solution:
In the folder where you have your photos in Finder click "Cmd-A" (To select all) then click "Space-bar" and your will now be able to cycle through all of the photos in that folder as normally with your arrow keys.
AND, if you want to acces full screen mode directly as you cycle through all of your photos in Finder. Then after having selected all photos by "Cmd-A", click "Alt + Space-bar" at the same time and a full screen mode where you can cycle though all of your photos appears.
Hope it helps. Anyhow, I also hate the way Apple think that Finder should work. I payed 3k for this...

I appreciate your response but that helps me in no way, shape, or form. I am using iphoto. I have to maximize every photo and it is irritating the **** out of me. It is little things like this that really make me question he product, considering that amount of money I spent on it. Esspecially when Macs are known for photo editing abilities.
Open the photos using Preview.
Then from the Preview menu bar click View > Enter Full Screen
The Finder can't open your images in full screen mode.
Are you kidding me? There is no way to open pictures in full screen. So, I have to open, go into preview, click View, then Enter Full Screen on EVERY PICTURE?
What is going on? This makes no sense? OR are you saying there is a way to open them into full screen with a double click within preview? Please tell me the first thing I said is not correct. PLEASE. Not sure how much more irritating some of this little stuff can be.
Thanks for the response
So I guess this is just another thing apple thought was a great idea? Not being able to open pitcures in fullscreen view? Am I missing something or are people just embarrassed to admit it? Not being rude, although some people tend to think so, I am really curious as to how this is not possible.
As for setting it up to open in full screen automatically, I don't think there's a way to do that.
You can also enter full screen by:
Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard.
This is crazy to me, what is apple thinking? Why is it a good idea not to be able to set a preference to open pictures in full screen? Having to use comands, stretch manually....I mean come on. Pay almost 2k for a computer and it can't do little things like this? Crazy, just crazy
Are you not using iPhoto for your pictures? I think that Finder will only open a Thumbnail view of JPEG or other formats as it is a file handling Application not one designed for file display/manipulation.
It's in Finder, I have a folder with pictures that I was going picture to picture, and really didn't look but also noticed I couldn't find a "next" button to easily skip to the next picture. Will they open in Iphoto? How would I open that folder in Iphoto, and would it open them in full screen mode?
Thanks
So, will they open in full view in Iphoto? I feel like once I bring up little things that obviously should be able to accomplish with ANY computer, and people realize their beloved Mac doesn't, the help stops and questions do not really get answered. Mine as well pay 20$ to have someone give me an answer of the phone right!
Hello, I am bumping this since I still haven't got a concrete answer.
Is there ANY way that when I make the picture full screen, and hit next, that it will open the photo in full screen every time I click next? This is really frustrating that this, as far as I can tell, is not an option. Makes zero sense. If I am going through thousands of pictures, and I have to maximize each one manually, that is a HUGE pain in the arse.
Yes. The application is called iPhoto.
I am struggling to understand the problem. If you have iPhoto open with a full size window, and go to an album and double-click a photo it will be full size, as will the next photo you select via the arrow or in a slideshow.
I have to maximize every photo and it is irritating the **** out of me. It is little things like this that really make me question he product, considering that amount of money I spent on it.
It also depends on the actual resolution (pixel size) of your photos. Unless they are at least 2560 x 1440 (the resolution on a 27" screen), they should open in their actual size (at least that is what I have all my photo applications set at). Unlike Windows (which offers an oversimplified one-size-fits-all option), Macs are also known to be able to have several windows open at the same time (aka "multitasking"). Personally, I have a 27" screen so I can have more than one window open - rarely do I need to look at a photo in a blown up size unless I am editing/digitally enhancing it.
It is actually even simpler than that. In iPhoto menu click on View, then on Full Screen. Then photos will be shown in full screen and you can just use the arrow keys to go from photo to photo in that album or folder.
