Looking for this symbol: enter image description here

  • We don't know what you're talking about. I'm using Photoshop on High Sierra and never saw this icon before. – Luciano Jan 8 '18 at 9:48
  • Adobe apps don't do 'Apple fullscreen'. Just make a new Space & assign Photoshop to that. Full instructions if required... – Tetsujin Feb 25 '18 at 16:06

Photoshop has has a full screen mode built in for years. Merely tap the f key in Photoshop.

Tap F once, fullscreen - with panels/tools
Tap F twice, fullscreen - black background - hide tools and panels
Tap F three times - exit fullscreen.

Unfortunately only a handful of Adobe apps support this. It appears that the "legacy" / original Creative Suite-based apps don't provide the macOS system fullscreen functionality. It is, however, available in apps like XD, Lightroom and Dimension.

Until Photoshop is fully "modernized" for the latest versions of macOS (potentially soon with the Mac transition to Apple Silicon?), you can do the following for a quasi-fullscreen experience:

  1. Open Mission Control (trackpad 3 or 4 finger swipe up).
  2. Add a new space using the "+" on the right side of Mission Control's spaces.
  3. Drag Photoshop to the newly created Desktop space.
  4. If needed, or suitable, turn Dock hiding on and turn on Menu Bar hiding as well.
  5. Unrelated digression: if you're running on a newer MacBook, use a program like Shifty to disable Night Shift and True Tone specifically for Photoshop.
