Lightroom: presentation view
Sometimes I'm working on a photo and would just like to see it now full-screen.
I've tried the slideshow, but it takes about 4 seconds for photo to appear - that's too long.
So instead, I do this:
- To Present: Shift-Tab, 'T', 'L', 'L', then move the cursor out of the way.
- To Un-present: 'L', 'T', Shift-Tab, and move the cursor back.
Its more convoluted than I'd like, and I could do without the thin white frame around it surrounded by the thick black frame. A single keystroke to 'present' - full-screen / no borders (my monitors themselves have sufficient borders), and kill the cursor, then another to return to editing would be perfect.
PS - If Lightroom had full-screen editing for multi-monitor mode, this would be unnecessary, but in case Lr4 doesn't have that enhancement, this would be a worthy compromise.
UPDATE: I just automated the keystroke sequences using auto-hotkey, which helps a lot, but still...

A presentation view for LR should trigger the best possible preview to be generated. Currently, when working with an image that looks noisy in the Develop view, I'll have to do the following:
1. Switch to loupe mode [this will show a version with noise reduction applied but it will be low-quality]
2. Zoom in at 100% [this will render the best quality library preview]
3. Zoom out to "Fit view"
Only after the last step I get to see a full screen preview with noise reduction and proper sharpness.
That's too many steps.
Ideally, as I have proposed earlier, Develop module views should have better quality right away but if a switch to the library module is necessary, it shouldn't involve further manual steps to get a good preview.

The unneccessary convoluted juggling of keys we have now is one thing, quite another is that "fullscreen" still only uses 80% of the available real estate. This is a show stopper to me - even more so when I'm working on a laptop.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
It's time for single-key true fullscreen viewing in Lightroom.
