[QUOTE="mac57, post: 329949, member: 17052"] Hi Jakee, welcome to Mac Forums! To your questions: 1/ To see a preview of the picture as the icon, simply go to the View Options and select "Show Item Preview". Be careful to look at the setting at the very top of the dialog, which can be set to make this apply to just the single folder you are looking at, or all folders. Set it as you wish. Unfortunately, I am not at my Mac right now, so I can't tell you the exact wording of this. 2/ You are going about this exactly the right way. Do a Get Info, then click you mouse once inside the icon in the Get Info dialog that pops up. Use the CMD-C keystroke to copy the icon. Now do a Get Info on the file you want to paste the icon into. Click once on the icon in that Get Info dialog and use the CMD-V keystroke to paste the icon you just copied.
