Windows 10: Windows 11 Photos App -- Disable preview bar at bottom of screen?

Hi, In the Windows 11 Photos app, when viewing an image there is a horizontal "preview" bar at the bottom of the window with several small thumbnails displayed for other images in the same folder. Is it possible to hide that bar so it never appears? Thanks!
