I find a few things about the Fast Preview window confusing:

1. It's the same things as Simple mode. I think I see that the functions 
you want in it are nearly all the ones you want in Simple mode (you don't 
need to add photos when you're using it simply as Preview), but still, why 
is it identical? I guess this pertains to the Assistant tab, which doesn't 
seem necessary when you're not working in Simple mode.

2. It takes over the whole screen (on my Mac anyway) and so it isn't clear 
that it's a new window, instead of a replacement view for the other one. 
The old Preview window is a smaller window and so it's clear what has 
happened.

3. It has no close button, nor does it respond to the keyboard equivalent 
for closing. I can close it using the usual widget (red button in the 
"traffic light" in upper left corner), but this is odd behavior, especially 
since when I'm using it as the Fast Preview and not simple mode, I want to 
close it so that I can return to the main window. I realize that I can just 
go back to the main window by using the keyboard command for that 
(command-`) and just leave it open, but that is not nearly the behavior 
that you expect less expert users to know about, and it's weird to have to 
do it anyway when I expect to close the Preview window when I'm done with 
it.

So am I missing something important about this window, or is this one of 
those unresolved UI things.
