Preview: Preview Next or Previous Image w/o 1st selecting multiple images?

I have a folder that contains images. I browse to that folder and click on any of them and Preview opens and I see the image just fine. I would like to browse the contents of this folder with Preview using the arrow keys to view the next or previous image in that folder. When I use the arrow keys I get nothing (just a boink sound). Should I be able to navigate the contents of a folder with Preview using the arrow keys? I have read through the help and didn't see anything not being able to navigate images.
I edited my preview toolbar to include the Next and Previous buttons however these don't seem to work for images in the same folder.
I click on drawer and it only shows the image that I clicked on that opened Preview; it does not show any of the other images that are within the folder...should it?
If I select all (or more than one) image within the folder and then Click Open, Preview opens with the drawer containing the selected images. When I take this extra step, I am able to navigate the selected images in Preview with the up/down arrow keys or the Next/Prev buttons on the toolbar. Is there a way to bypass the multiple selection of images in order to navigate them with Preview or is that just the way it works?
THx!

ReidRik_Von,
I suspect you may be "putting the cart before the horse." Try opening Preview first. Next, use the Open command from Preview's File menu, or Command + O on your keyboard, and then browse to the desired folder. Select the entire folder and press the Open button. If the Drawer opens and you find it obtrusive, close the Drawer.
You should now find the Next and Previous arrow buttons you added to the Toolbar earlier should function; and if you have Full Keyboard Access enabled, you should be able to navigate the folder using the keyboard as well: Command + Right arrow for the next image, or Command + Left arrow for the previous...
Good luck!

  • Aperture 3.4.1 automatically switches to the next or previous image

    For the past few weeks Aperture has been doing something really odd and extremely annoying. While I'm editing an image, aperture will suddenly move to the next image. It happens primarily when I'm using the stamp tool and am stamping adjustments onto the image. I lift adjustments from one and as I go to stamp the selected image, aperture suddenly moves to the next or previous image. Sometimes I will have go back to the image I am intending to edit as many as 5 times before it stays there.
    This is incredibly annoying and killing my workflow. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what can I do? Suggestions and/or more questions welcome.
    Thanks!

    Nah, "Highlight Priority Mode" was switched off.
    Here's the examples:
    1. This is my finished picture. The information is still avaliable in the preview. So this is what I wanted it to look like and how I remembered it.
    http://cl.ly/image/3I2D0V1L2O0Q
    2. This is how Aperture makes it look now!!!
    http://cl.ly/image/3B0o0a0r051g
    3. This is what it looks like when I make a copy from the original and then stamp the old settings onto it.
    http://cl.ly/image/1g0w0u152t3i
    Go figure. It's just random and did I mentioned that I am deeply frustrated with an otherwise excellent program? :-)
    If this is bound to happen with our pictures, how can we reliably work with this? I have paying clients who come back to me months and years after and need to have access to their stock of photos.

  • Mac OS X Lion - Preview reopens all previous documents

    I have a problem described exactly at:  http://www.devdaily.com/mac-os-x/mac-os-x-lion-preview-reopens-all-previous-docu ments-restore
    Tried everything suggested at this article, including General settings, Terminal command etc.
    Problem persists, Preview still opening about 300 pictures and same other documents. Really frustrating.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

  • Preview what a background 'Image Repeat' will look like?

    I want to preview some website background images that I have which are 1 pixel wide without having to upload to the website and refresh the page. Is there a way to preview images repeating in either Adobe Bridge or Adobe Photoshop or any product in the Adobe Creative Cloud for that matter without having to upload to the website and refresh the page? I would ideally like to scroll through the images and have it simulate the repeat horizontal style.

    Not sure that is what I'm looking for.
    I have over 2000 different gradients for website backgrounds that I just want to scroll through to pick the one I want but I need the image to repeat horizontally so that I can see it because it's only 1 pixel wide ...
    Ideally, I would like to just be able to hit my arrow key down and down and down and preview what the background would look like super quickly so I can pick the one I like best.
    Hopefully that makes better sense.
    Thanks!
    Something like this website, but where i don't have to upload files to the web.

  • Internet Explorer's forward/backward for next/previous image

    In addition to right/left arrow to move to next/previous image I would like LR team to add this keyboard shortcut:
    Use Internet Explorer's forward for next image.
    Use Internet Explorer's backward for previous image.
    Here is the reason. I have ViewSonic mouse with five buttons. Extra two buttons I use for forward/backward command within Internet Explorer. It would be nice if the same two extra buttons I could use in LR.
    At the moment I have the two extra buttons programmed to function as right/left arrow. That allows me to use them to go next/previous image in LR. In order to use them as a forward/backward command within IE I have to press Alt key.
    It would be nice if LR team could add IE forward/backward to the list of keyboard shortcuts.
    Best regards,
    Ivan Kmecko

    This is a function of the mouse driver...you should be able to configure settings based on the current application so LR and IE can use the same keys but it'll mean different things in each app.

  • Next / previous image swap WITH larger image popup

    Very simply what I need to do is almost identical to what you
    see here:
    http://www.java-scripts.net/javascripts/Slide-Show-Script.phtml
    (scroll down to the animal pictures)
    When you click "next" and "previous" the images swap through
    a series
    called "img1.gif" "img2.gif" and "img3.gif"
    So far so good. However let us assume there is also a set of
    images called
    "img1_lrg.gif" "img2_lrg.gif" and "img3_lrg.gif" which are
    larger
    versions of those little thumbnails. I need for the
    appropriate associated
    large image to popup in its own window when the thumb is
    clicked.
    Has anyone a lead on something like that?
    Thanks very much.

    That sounds simple, where are you stuck? Do you not know how
    to open a
    popup? BTW, the JustSo Picture Window extension would be
    perfect for
    the popups.

  • Cursor keys do not properly change to next/previous image

    Since a few days, one of my two Lightroom-computers shows a permanent, quite annoying bug, regarding the curser left/right key:
    It happens in loupe view:
    When I press the cursor-right key, Lightroom doesn't change to the next image
    Instead, it doesn't stop changing to the next image before it reaches the end of the folder .
    Correspondingly with cursor-left, which takes me always to the first image in of the folder...
    Browsing in loupe view is nearly impossible, just the mousewheel still allows to change to the next/previous image.
    This happens for all sets, catalogues, folders, etc. If I have selection, then it takes me to the first/last image of the selection, nothing in between possible.
    Any advice, what went wrong with my system? Everything was smooth a few weeks ago, and everything works fine on my other computer, which should just behave the same...
    Thanks for any hints!
    Harald

    After hours of testing, I identified the reason:
    The problem was raised by the service "skdaemon.exe".
    It's meant to be a keyboard enhancing utility, which was preinstalled (und later updated) on this computer.
    After deactivation (from autostart), LR works fine again, and I didn't notice any missing keyboard functions yet.
    Maybe, this helps someone else in getting around that problem, and thanks for the support.

    You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Previews and non-RAW images

    If you take an image out of Aperture for further processing/retouching and return it as a psd, tif or jpg, does Aperture create another Preview for this new file, or when it's selected, are you viewing the file itself? In other words, are Previews created for other files besides RAW?

    If "mantain previews" is on then it will create a new preview for the returned file.
    What you see in the viewer will be first the preview and, once the image is fully loaded, the actual image.
    You can find more info about previews here:

  • Preview unavailable for this image

    I have a Canon 7D and just purchased a 8gb Sandisk Compact Flash Card 60MB/s (UDMA) . I couldn't download the image from the camera to Lightroom and to be backed up on my hard drive (My Pictures) - message said - unkown error occured
    When I downloaded images from camera to Zoom Browser this wouldn't work - message said - there are no images in the camera or memory card to match download conditions - images are on card as I can view them in camera.
    I downloaded the images from my card reader ok to zoom browser however when I tried to import them into Lightroom it wouldn't work and a message came up where the image would normally show saying - preview unavailable for this image
    Hope someone can assist

    You don't say what OS you're using. I think XP and Vista need an additional OS update/Raw viewer plugin to view the 7D in the OS, which is what Lightroom uses for the Import preview.
