I must have inadvertently clicked on something, but now all my thumbnail slides at the bottom of the screen are tiny. I've gone through all the menus I can find, hoping to restore the slideshow back to its original size. But I can't find any controls governing it.

Anybody know what I did wrong, and better yet, how to fix it?

I'm using LR6 on a PC.

Put your cursor on one of the images in the filmstrip and VERY SLOWLY move the cursor upwards to the grid above. At some point the curser will change into a double ended arrow. Now you can click/shift and drag the film strip wider.

If you move the cursor too quickly, you will not see the double headed arrow.

Wow, Searcher. That was fast. You solved my problem in less than 10 minutes from the time I posted my problem.

Thank you!

Actually Searcher, I haven't been able to get the cursor you described.

I have tried on my laptop (which has the problem) and my desktop (which has the normal size filmstrip), and I have carefully and repeatedly followed your instructions. But all I get on both computers is the "hand" cursor.

The hand cursor appears at the top edge of the image, keep going up, the double arrow will appear just below the tool bar and above the bar which shows the file names.

Ahhhh--the key is to move the cursor (slowly) into the black area above the slideshow.

Perfect. Now I can see what I am doing.

Thanks again, Searcher. You're the best!!

FWIW, for future reference, Mr. Google knows just about everything on earth. I've been struggling to learn Lightroom and have found if I type any question I have into the Google search box, that I'll get an answer in seconds. Searcher knows even more than Mr. Google but he isn't always as available as Google.

Good to see you back and in form, Searcher! Missed you around here...

There is a "Grabber" just between the Grey and Black just above the Thumbnails.
When you have it the mouse cursor will change to a Double Arrow. Up and Down.
Left click it and drag it.
OK use the hand as Searcher and I describe.
Craig
PS: You are right Searcher, Left Click.

Craig, it is a LEFT click, not right (the double headed arrow disappears with a right click) see my post above.
