If you do what Doc suggests you'll fix the problem that PS made, and you'll be able to preview simply by selecting the image in the finder and hitting the spacebar, then using the arrows to navigate. It's called Quicklook, and it's awesome.

There has to be another way & i will find it or do a lot worse than sam.
Gus, the applications folder that you're looking at (the empty one) must be in your Home folder. You want to look in the root Applications folder.
What that means is this:
Your home applications folder has a path like this:
Macintosh HD>Users>Gus>Applications
That is the one you don't want.
The one you do want has a path like this:
Macintosh HD>Applications
This is the Applications folder that is available to all users. The one in your home folder will only be available to you when you are logged into your home folder.
What im talking about is if i create a folder from CS2 in xp on my PC....i save large jpegs to it > right click > open a photo > then there are arrows at the bottom of the page to move to the next one or go back.
In XP, for image folders, if the View is Filmstrip, you will get the arrows. It is actually using a subset of Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (WPFV). If you actually click on the image and it opens up, it the the entire WPFV app. And you can then move <- /-> thru the other images. This assumes you aren't using Win Office Picture Manager or some other app as the default viewer program.
In OS X Finder, from what I can tell 'cuz I is a n00b, you don't have the file browser pre-viewer beyond the thumbnails. Increasing thumbnail size in preferences doesn't cut it either. But when you open Preview (I'm not on Leopard yet; no QuickLook), File->Open (or cmd+O), point to the folderof images (not an image in the folder), and hit the Open button in the lower right corner, you will be able to scroll thru the images just like WPFV. Click on an image in the folder and then Open? Nope, no scrolling.
RE: not being able to see applications, where is your Finder Preferences General pointing to for 'New Finder windows open'? What boxes are checked in Finder Preferences Sidebar (I have them all except computer). I'm lazy and just click on the Mac HD icon on my desktop and I see everything, like David TO points out. Hope that helps!

right-click on one of your images, doesn't Preview show up under Open With (on my Mac it's the default)? I just open a folder, use Cmd-A to select all, then Cmd-O to open (in Preview) and I can use the up & down arrows to move through the pictures. All I'm missing is a "make window fill the screen" button (like Photoshop's Cmd-0).
In Leopard, QuickLook should do it. As mentioned above, just select the images, and hit the spacebar.
In Tiger, I don't like Preview for this. Too many steps, funky controls. Instead, select the images, right-click and choose Slideshow, and you get a full screen prev/next interface.
To all of you who say, "It's a Mac, it's supposed to just work." Stop being facetious or naive. Everything breaks, everything has problems. Your disk will fail, the directory will become corrupted over time.
DiskWarrior is not a swiss army knife approach. It does one thing, but it does it really well. It rebuilds the directory on your hard drive, repairing any problems. It's slow. It's $80. There are lots of reasons to avoid it. But don't. Even if you're not experiencing problems, run it a couple of times a year. If you run it once and it shows problems with your disk, keep running it until all the problems are gone. IOW, if the report shows in red, run it again until it shows green.
10/29/2007 (updates and replaces the entry originally dated 10/26/2007)
DiskWarrior 4.0 will successfully rebuild a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed or a disk that has been attached to a computer running Leopard.
However, some operating system functionality has changed within Leopard itself. As such, there are some compatibility issues when running an installed copy of DiskWarrior 4.0 while started up from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Alsoft currently recommends that you do not run DiskWarrior 4.0 while the computer is started from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Instead, to run DiskWarrior, you should start up the computer from either:
1) A DiskWarrior 4.0 CD.
2) Any disk that starts up in 10.4.x and then run DiskWarrior 4.0.
An updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing owners of DiskWarrior 4.0.
True, but it does what you need it to. Just boot from the CD and rebuild your directory. You just can't install it on a Leopard disk, but you can repair a Leopard disk.
I burnt a disc (well i think i did) Had a cow of a time gettting it to eject. Now when i put that disc bacj in with the raw photo files...it just sits there. Shouldnt it throw an icon up on the desktop or something ?

Where do i find the disc ?
Sounds to me like it didn't burn successfully. You should see it in the sidebar of a Finder window or on the desktop. Did you get a dialog box when you inserted it asking what to do with it? That should only happen when a blank one is inserted. You could also try firing up Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) to see if it recognizes the disc...
Did you burn the disc from the Finder, or using some other software? Are you using Leopard?

...as ^this^ does in veritably happen from time to time - saying that (touch wood) i haven't had ant major bother with either my ibook or mac mini yet (he says unwittingly )
i think i keep them in a decent state - there's some great simple apps out there that do the job.
sorry to hear about the disc problem blalor - sounds like finder burnt a duff one there - i have to say i've never used the finder to burn discs, simply burns does the job check it out

I'm not the one with the problem, gus is. The Finder does a perfectly reasonable job of burning discs, in my opinion. I haven't had a reason to go elsewhere, but my needs are pretty pedestrian. I'll give SimplyBurns a once-over, tho.

You are correct about not burning properly...i slowed both a CD & a DVD down to 4x & both worked fine. Odd though as they are 1-16x DVD's & thats the speed i was burning them at first.

I've got some cheapo "16x" dvds like that... better to burn them at 8x and have a reliable burn than at 16x and get a coaster 7 out of 10 times.

I don't think your optical drive can burn a DVD at 16x, though it can burn a CD at that speed. 4 to 8x is the max, depending on the type of DVD. But I would think the burning software would be aware of all this and make the necessary adjustment automatically. It's possible that you just had a defective DVD. I would try it again at the maximum speed your drive will permit and see what happens.

Its the comps software that was on the machine & says 16x...does not worry me in the slightest really as i would burn a disc maybe once every 3 months. I tried it many times to no avail however. Its all cool...im working.

Like cabbey said, el-cheapo media can be a problem. The drive won't try to burn at faster than its rated for, but I've had some DVDs that I can only reliably burn at 1x with my internal SuperDrive. Doesn't give me a lot of faith in those discs as long-term archival media...
16x SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
* Writes DVD-R discs at up to 16x speed
* Writes DVD+R DL discs at up to 8x speed
* Reads DVDs at up to 16x speed
* Writes CD-R discs at up to 32x speed
* Writes CD-RW discs at up to 24x speed
* Reads CDs at up to 32x speed
No Blu-Ray. I wonder if we will see an announcement at Macworld?

Tks guys.
The Superdrive is some Macs will burn at 16x. I use it often. Sunday I burned 9 full DVDs, so I appreciate the speed.
These are the specs for the Mac Pro.
Right, but Gus has an iMac, which isn't rated as fast.
Odd that they have the slower drives. 16x has been around quite a while.
