Full screen mode for Windows (newbie)

[Allison K.Leanoo]

Hello Everybody,

I'm new to Affinity Photo, I'm testing it and I love it. Of course nothing never perfect...

I'm a hobbyist and I create a comic. I'm using Photoshop for post processing 3D Daz/Blender images. Affinity looks to be a better tool for my needs.

I have a first problem. I'm running Windows 10, and I don't find how to activate the full screen mode. I have multiple screens, I would like to work my image "real size". I googled that this is easy for OSX users, and it looks Windows users can do it too. But I do not know how.

Please can you tell me ?

Hi @Gwen69 and welcome to the forums

If you on a multi-monitor setting, try as follows:

Point to the picture title bar, click and hold left mouse button and pull the picture workspace out and move it to the monitor you wish.

Hello Komatös

Thank you for this fast and easy reply. This work, but it don't really solve my problem. Maybe I didn't explain myself clear enough.

Doing as you said, I obtain a floating maxed window, which is cool already. But I want more... I want a full screen window. Something like what I have with Photoshop, I means a window where my image take all and every pixels of my screen. 

I join a print screen of what I have I have with Photoshop. On the right you can see my main vertical screen, with all the commands, tools, panels... on the left, you see the image, a terminated double page of my comic here. I'm not sure the print screen show it well, but the left part, with the double page, take all the left screen. There is no gap, no frame, not a single pixel which is not the image.

The good of this, is that when I use the full screen function (ctrl-L) with acrobat, on the resulting .pdf, I get exactly the same image as the one I see when I work.

Hi @Gwen69 

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a 1:1 view.

But maybe one of the other participants here knows.
