Better thumbnails in Finder

I prefer this setting for my image folders but they work for any of course. Bigger thumbnails, so you can see what’s up without previewing or opening the images. Very handy indeed!

It’s easily set and on a per folder basis.
In the folder you want to set this setting in press cmd-J, or in the View menu click the ‘Show view options’ option.

Basically you just tick the option up top “Always open in icon view” and slide the icon size slider to the right and the grid size to the left. You’ll see instantly what this does. Find the setting you like and close the options screen.

Voila, instant previews of (image) files without using iPhoto or other gallery-ish apps.
