Hi all,

I currently use 'Preview' to look at my numerous photos within an album. I want to know if there is such a function as the 'next' or 'previous' arrow button to go forward or back a photo, respectively. Or is there another app that has this function?

Thanks in advance

You can try this method (it works): Click on the first photo in the album and hold down your shift key and click on the last photo. That will highlight all the photos. While they're still highlighted, press your space bar once. That will bring up the first photo in Preview; now just use your right and left arrow keys to advance or go backward to view all the photos you highlighted.

If you like using shortcuts to do this simonvee, you can push Control-A to select all the photos. Both do the same thing - what's best depends on what you prefer.

You may want to give Picasa a try at this also.
