Quickly View Photos Without Using iPhoto

If you ever use a Mac to view photos you may find it annoying if you jabe a lot of them to sort through or if they ae large images as opening many photos each on seperate wimdows clutters thongs up. The solution to this is to perform a CTRL + Click and choose "Open with" > preview.app so you can view your photos in what is know to the Mac world as "Drawers", and open multiple photos at once in one window. Or to instead select perform a CTRL + Click and choose "Show View Options". This second method is great if you have multiple folders of pictures and or large sized pictures. In the "View Opltions" window make sure the "Show icon preview" box is checked and then use the slider at the top to adjust the thumbnail size to your liking (128 x 128 pixels). You can even choose if you want the files to be displayed like this in all of your folders or just this particular folder, each folder can be set to a different view this way.
