To see all photos in a folder on a Mac, you can follow these steps:
1. Open a Finder window: You can do this by clicking on the Finder icon in the Dock, or by pressing ⌘+N.
2. Navigate to the folder containing your photos: Use the sidebar or the “Go” menu at the top of the screen to find the folder where your photos are located.
3. Switch to Gallery view: Once you’re in the desired folder, press ⌘+4 on your keyboard to switch to Gallery view. This view displays your photos as thumbnails, making it easier to browse through them.
4. Click on an image: Click on one of the photos to open it in a larger view. You can use the scroll wheel on your mouse or trackpad to zoom in or out on the image.
5. Traverse through the images: To navigate through the other photos in the folder, you can use the right and left arrow keys on your keyboard. This allows you to quickly move from one image to the next without having to close and open each one individually.
6. Adjust the window layout (optional): If you prefer a different layout or want to see more information about each photo, you can customize the Gallery view. Right-click on the toolbar at the top of the window and choose “Show Toolbar” and “Show Sidebar” to enable additional options.
7. Open images in Preview: If you want to view the images in a larger, more detailed format, you can open them in the Preview app. To do this, simply double-click on an image, and it will open in Preview. If you want all images to open in one window, go to Preview Preferences > Images and select “Open all files in one window.”
Using these steps, you can easily browse through and view all the photos in a folder on your Mac. It provides a convenient way to preview and select the images you want to work with or share.
