[QUOTE="NSMacGuru, post: 1904020, member: 402209"] Preview is a *powerhouse* that folks tend to overlook. I use it most often for merging PDFs (get used to using the thumbnail view in the sidebar, and drag-and-drop simplicity). Many years ago I taught digital video editing classes (AVID and Final Cut Pro). I had to schedule an extra day just to "deprogramme" Windows users who always seemed to find the most difficult, time-consuming ways to do simple things (no insult intended). As to your specific needs mentioned above - I do all of that in the Finder: Open a folder of images [LIST] [*]Command-1 puts everything in "thumbnail" view (use the slider at the bottom-right of the window to increase or decrease size; you may also want to do VIEW-->Clean up by name to make them all fit in the window size you prefer) [*]Select all (Command-A) [*]Spacebar (brings up a large-scale preview of the image) [*]Right-Left-Down-Up arrows to navigate [*]Command-Delete to send the current image to the trash [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
