Photos too small

Recently purchased a Macbook air M4 and I noticed that the photos in lightroom are only displayed in a relatively small box.  How do I expand to fill the entire page like they are displayed on my Ipad?

I just thought about your suggestion to hit G (Grid)  and decided to try F for full and it worked!  Thanks for putting me on the right track.

Hit the [ G ] Key?

That just switches you to Grid view.  On the ipad, if you touch the photo it expands to the full screen, end to end.

Hi @Jay5EF2, thanks so much for reaching out!

Could you let me know which version of Lightroom you're using? If you’re able to share a screenshot of what you're seeing on your end, that would really help us take a closer look.

If you're referring to switching from Grid view to Detail view, you can do that by clicking the icon in the bottom left corner or by pressing D on your keyboard.

Let me know if that works for you or if you’re seeing something different!

No, I want to expand to cover the entire page with no borders.  End to end like you can with the I pad.
