Exit fullscreen by clicking on image

Features

In the proofing gallery software that I currently use you click a thumbnail to enter fullscreen and then click anywhere on the fullscreen image to go back to the grid view.
In picflow the user needs to move the mouse all the way up to the top left of the screen to return to the grid. For this reason alone I can't use picflow as my daily driver yet.
Getting in and out of fullscreen mode should be as frictionless as possible.

    Joe Clark Thanks for your message. You can hit the ESC key to quickly close the image view. On mobile, you can also swipe up or down on the image to close it. The thing is that we have more zooming controls than most other services and we need the click event for other interactions (i.e. double click for zooming to 100%).
    I'd suggest you give the ESC key a try. We should definitely put a hint inside the app that this is possible.
    PS: For more keyboard shortcuts, press "K" anywhere in the app to get a list.
