Photoshop Stuck Full Screen on Mac Sierra

Hi all,

I use two monitors and Photoshop is stuck in full screen mode on my laptop (not displaying the top menu with red, yellow green dots). I'm using Mac OS Sierra. Some apps will let me minimize the window in order to move or resize, but Photoshop has no window controls available. I can't even move the window to my extended desktop on external monitor.

Adobe is no help, of course. Anyone now of a way to get Photoshop out of full screen mode in order to move the window as desired?

Thanks!

Unfortunately that doesn't work. It does resize the floating document window, but does not affect the main photoshop window.

Thanks for the continued help.

You have to hold down the "alt" (aka. option) key when you click on the green button (this will maximize all floating windows as opposed to only maximizing the window that you click inside)

Hi, Brent. How did you get the answer from Jesper to work? You said you had no green/yellow/red dots (and neither do I). Yet her answer requires you to have a green dot in order to work.......

If you don't see window dots, then create a new document. Drag the tab out to be floating. Now you should see buttons on the floating document and you can "alt"+click on the green dot.
