I just had one of these moments… you know, the ones where you say “I didn’t know that!” Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
Macworld.com, April 30, had a great tip. It turns out that Leopard has the capability of presenting preview icons for videos and images up to 512×512 pixels, as opposed to the standard 128×128 ones we’re used to.
Cover Flow
One way that you may know of is to use the Cover Flow option for viewing a finder window. There’s another one, tho that is pretty slick.
Search Window
Open the folder with images you’d like to examine, and enter two double quotes into the Search section in the right side of the toolbar. Change the location setting from This Mac to the current folder, which is within quotation marks to the right of This Mac. Change the search from Contents to File Name.
Spotlight will display everything in the current folder. Change the view mode to icon view by using Command-1 or going to the View menu and selecting As Icons.
On the lower right side of the window, you’ll see a slider. Use the slider to increase the size of the preview icons…
Personally, I think Quick View is an easier way to see a specific image, but if you want to compare more than one image, to see them together at the same time, this is a good way to do it without having to use software like Bridge or Lightroom
