[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 1189536, member: 88633"] Well, the OP also asked if Preview could do something like this, and technically it can, BUT... I think we can safely guess that he/she might be looking for the functionality that Quick Look adds. Most people, I wager, would probably associate the word "preview" with what Quick Look does, especially a relative noob coming from Windows. So it kind of depends on what the OP wants to do... if you just want to preview a file in the Finder, use Quick Look (the button with the eye icon on it in the Finder window) or simply press the space bar. From there you can use the arrow keys to navigate to the next file preview. And if you want to use the [I]application[/I] called Preview to see more detail or edit files in some basic way, then dragging the folder into the Preview icon is probably the easiest way. If you don't choose to use iPhoto, of course. [/QUOTE]
