Presentation View gives a larger screen view than Full Screen view. Its background colour is black rather than grey though. To move the image around the screen drag the Birds Eye view around inside its box.
Initially in the Presentation View, all tools are hidden. They will appear when the curser hovers over their normal position. Tools can be undocked and moved around the screen to suit and will then remain visible. Undocked tools loose visibility when the mouse curser moves off them.

The F is very useful and a nice way of working as I do usually have a pretty messy desktop. It makes no difference to the the tool & support windows, they stay put quietly. In P, once tool boxes are invoked, they stay, and although the tools can be shown/hidden with tab key, once touched, the programmers have forced them to the front & only re-start will get them back to normal. In the meantime both menus and dock get part hidden behind them; useless (Bit of OS difference? Must get some feedback in to them as it is definitely incorrect for OS 10)
With both F & P the image can be moved with both scroll wheel (shift for L-R) or direction arrows. F also reverts with escape key and the near microscopic arrows at bottom useful for toggling between 2 or more pics for comparison. Getting rid of horrid scroll & header bars also actually increases size of the actual pic. Nice.
Thanks for drawing my attention to it Don.
