view preview when opening jpeg

help! (please)

i used to be able to do this and now i can't — : like if i'm opening a photo in photoshop, or picking one in browse to attach to a message, i'd get a preview in the open window and now i don't--

any suggestions?

also, windows used to stay open the way i had last opened them like if i had them sorted by date rather than name, it would open the same way the next time.

thank you--

lily

Is there a way to adjust the size of the preview? Thanks.

Well, Bob meant in the Finder. I don't know if you meant just Photoshop. But if your browsing for a photo using finder, then Apple and J, or Bob's instructions, should show that option.

Does it not show the preview for ALL document types (not just JPEG) or is it specific to JPEG files?

In the open/save dialog box, there should be two buttons just to the right of the "right arrow/left arrow" buttons at the top of the window. The first is for list view, the second is for column view.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally click the "list view" button there?
