The Full Screen and Side By Side views let you see your images without the distraction of other interface items, such as windows, menus, and palettes. The control bar, which contains buttons for playing, rotating, zooming, and so on, disappears from view when you don’t move your mouse for a couple of seconds. (To make it reappear, move the mouse.)
The View Photos In Full Screen View command displays a set of photos as a full-screen slide show, making it a fun and efficient way to view a set of photos. You can customize the slide show—for example, you can play an audio file as you view the images, display thumbnails of the selected files in a filmstrip along the right side of the screen, or add a fade between pictures. When you’ve decided which photos you want in your slide show, and you’ve made necessary edits to them, you can send them directly from this view to the Slide Show Editor by clicking the Create Slide Show button.
The
Compare Photos Side By Side command displays two photos simultaneously. Side
By Side view is useful when you need to focus on details and differences between
photos. You can select two or more photos to compare. In Side By
Side view, the currently selected photo has a blue border. When
you click the Next Photo button , the
selected image changes to the next image in your selection. If you’ve
enabled the filmstrip, you can click on any image in the filmstrip
to view it in place of the selected image (the one with the blue
border).
You can
switch back and forth between views by clicking the Full Screen
View button or
the Side By Side View button
. While
in either view, you can mark your favorites for printing, fix red
eye, add a photo to an album, zoom in on photos, rotate or delete
a photo, and apply keyword tags to a photo.
