[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 815962, member: 24098"] Sure. Grab the lower left corner of the window and stretch it to fit the entire screen. The green button in most applications will only expand the window as large as it takes to show the entire content of the applications. I'm not a Photoshop user, but check in the View menu to see if there is a "full screen" option. Applications that are capable of having multiple windows don't shut down completely when you close the active window. The application runs until you quit it entirely (either use the application menu => Quit or press Command-Q). There are a number of different reasons for this, which are beyond the scope of this question. Personally, I just go through the dock periodically and click each icon and then Command-Q to quit them. Command => Tab toggles between open applications in the same way that Alt => Tab does in Windows. Alternatively, you can just click the app's icon in the Dock. Right-click the file and click Get Info (you do have two-finger tapping for right-click turned on, right?). Alternatively, you can view the Finder window in list mode and see the size in the "Size" column. Also, you can open a directory of images, view it in list mode and scroll throw previews of the pictures by clicking the first one in the list one time and then pressing the space bar. This will do a "quick look" and allow you to easily scroll throw the images, viewing them in full size, while still seeing the file details. Tab handling is set in Firefox preferences. Sounds like you just need to configure it to work the way you had it in Windows. I'm not thrilled with iPhoto, but it does an OK job. Used in tandem with Pixelmator, I can do whatever I want to with my photos. [/QUOTE]
