Gear maker Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 My favorite mode of using AD is separated. It provides several handy benefits such as having 2 or more separate images next to each other visible at the same time. Or even better 2 or more views of the same image all visible and active. I often have one view of the majority of the image and two other views zoomed into different areas of the image. I can change one area and see the effect on other areas immediately, without zooming out then having to zoom back in. Extremely handy. About the only thing I don't like is every time I open an image, it comes up using about 20% of the screen, so the first thing I have to do is resize the screen and then cmd+0 to fit the image to the screen. I size the image so that it just fits between all the panels, with nothing covered. Just like in non-Separated mode. I don't like using the new Yosemite full screen mode for normal work (clicking the green dot) because it places the panels over the image. Only 1 image at a time can be seen. And it does weird things with just a change to another application and back. Likewise the alt-green dot (old full screen mode) places the panels over the image. And only allows 1 image on the screen at a time. What I would like to see is either have AD allow a preference of the screen size and image position for when images are opened or created. Or a keyboard shortcut that would resize the screen to use all available space between the panels. Also something like a Tile selection that would split the usable area into 2 or more areas would be handy. Thank you.
