I am a new switcher from PC to Mac.

One thing I didnt like was that i cant pull up thumbnails in finder.
Well, ive found something thats even better. I am sure you guys all know this already but I wanted to share it:

find the images you want to look at thumbnails of. Highlight them all then right click it and say "slideshow". It goes into previews slideshow mode. Then click on the view thumbnails and volia! instant thumbs and you can even send it to iphoto and then to photoshop or whatever editor you want.

Amazing.

Peace

You can get thumbnails in Finder. Just go to View Options (Cmd-J) and check the "Thumbnails" box. Voila!

The slideshow option, which was added in 10.4, is pretty neat though.
 
Naturally, that only works in icon view, which is often impractical work-wise. Especially since you'd want to use pretty large icons for the thumbnails. So the slideshow is definitely useful, even if you just want thumbnails.

I'd actually never used this before. Thanks for pointing it out.

Quick question: How do you send this to other apps? I don't see any menu available, or contextual menu, or anything else. Just the navigation buttons.

Click to expand...

You can choose to "Send to iPhoto" from the slideshow. You could take it to PS from there.
 
I just realized I don't have iPhoto installed. I guess that explains why I don't see a 'send to iPhoto' button! Pfooey.
 
sorry i want more clear...i was talking about the "send to iphoto" button.


yeah. thanks for the show thumbnails tip too. I didnt know about that.

peace
