In-Depth Information
Whether in full-screen mode or the regular interface, double-click an image in the
Viewer to toggle between the Viewer mode and the Browser mode.
Genius
To change the color of the background in full-screen mode, take these steps:
1.
Choose Aperture
➪
Preferences to access the Preferences dialog.
2.
Click Appearance.
3.
Drag the Full Screen Viewer brightness slider to the right.
We suggest setting it to 18
percent, which is the default setting for the Viewer in the regular interface.
Working with the filmstrip and toolbar
To navigate through the images while in the Viewer mode in full screen, you need to use the film-
strip. If the filmstrip is not visible initially, it's hiding. To see it, move your cursor to the left edge or
the bottom edge of the interface and it will appear, as shown in Figure 3.15.
Click and drag the Always Show Filmstrip control to the locked position to make the filmstrip
always visible. When the filmstrip is locked, the image decreases slightly in size to make room for it
without any overlapping. When you unlock the filmstrip, the image reverts to full size with the
filmstrip overlapping it. When you move the cursor away from the filmstrip, it disappears.
To position the filmstrip at the left, bottom, or right edge of the interface, unlock it and drag it to
the desired location.
Use the search field in the filmstrip to filter the display so that only certain images are visible in the
filmstrip. For example, you can set it to show the four-star or better images, or the flagged images.
To show all the images again, click the small X at the right of the search field.
To filter using more complex rules, click the Filter button to the left of the search field. This elicits
the Browser Filter panel that we cover in Chapter 4.
