There are also a pair of diagonal arrows that will take you to full-screen if you want. If you want more options, you can do a slide show from within iPhoto, but what I just described is in the Finder.

Or am I missing something? Like maybe the keyboard shortcut it shows you when you go to the Help menu? Yes, I'd say you're missing something. -- My latest dance performance <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9pudbFisE> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

You can also open all of the images in Preview, and then choose View > Slideshow from the menu bar (or press the corresponding keyboard shortcut shown for that menu command). > SL has some things I do not like (returning > back to the Mac OS 7.x folder icon views for one). Huh?? You have full control over what view you see in Finder windows. You can choose column, icon, or list view, and you can customize each of those views to your liking. > But regardless its > the latest and the greatest in most areas.
