Leopard: Quick Look's Full Screen View
TMO Quick Tip - Leopard: Quick Look's Full Screen View
by , 7:30 AM EST, December 19th, 2007
Quick Look is one of Leopard's great features because it saves you from having to launch applications just to see what a document looks like. If that preview, however, isn't quite big enough for you, just take it on up to full screen size.
To view a document with Quick Look, just select the file by clicking on it once, and then tap the Space bar. Taking the preview to full screen mode is easy, too. Just click the Full Screen button at the bottom of the Quick Look window.

If opening the Quick Look view and then clicking the Full Screen button is one too many steps for you, try pressing Command-Option-Y instead of the Space bar. Your document will preview in full screen mode, no extra steps required.

If you select a number of files and quick look you can also view them as a "slide show"... each picture you view also comes up with an "Add to iPhoto" button and when you've finished your "slide show" inthey go... When I used it for the first time with my family *I* went "Wow!" Normally it's them!
