Viewing Photos large

January 7th, 2012
Why is it that whenever I view photos large I can only see the top half, and I can't even scroll to see the bottom half?This is really annoying, especially when the main part of the photo is at the bottom and the top is just background!!

Is there any way round this @scrivener ??

I don't have this problem at all... maybe it's your browser?

@d391 Press F11 so it goes full screen

I think it has to do with the size of the screen. Unfortunately it does not size properly if you have something like a wide screen, just on the older screen sizes with a H/W ratio like a TV. I just hit Ctrl and - a couple of times to reduce my browser size so I can see the whole thing. It happens on all the browsers I use. Something could probably be changed in the HTML code to fix it, but I'm not sure what. I don't speak HTML.

@marilyn It's the same in all browsers for me on my computer, and other computers too!

@jasehoad I tried that, but you still can scroll down the photo!

@mcrt Yeah I've used the Ctrl - thing before, but when it's a portrait shaped photo, I often find that by the time I can see all the picture, I'm back at the same size I was before I reduced! I did wonder for ages if it's cos I'm using a 10" netbook, but it's the same on larger screens too (I even tried it on my 42" tv!!)

It's because you are on a wide screen monitor and not a regular proportioned one. I have the same issue with my laptop because it is widescreen but if I scoot over and use my husband's computer with it's standard monitor and things are fine.

This has come up over and over in discussions - btw - it can be helpful to use the search to find old discussions that are often quite informative. I'm convinced the problem is the size of the monitor - i can't see more than the top of an enlarged photo on my laptop no matter what I do. As soon as I try on a larger monitor, it's fine. So - in at least some cases it may have to do with the size of the monitor.

I noticed the same thing and what I do is change my Zoom Level (in the bottom right-hand corner of your screne) from 100% to 75% and you will see the whole picutre.

As mentioned above, view large and hit F11, it should let you see the whole photo.
