How To View Pictures On Mac Continuously

by

As a Mac user, you have the advantage of using a number of built-in features that make viewing and managing your photos a breeze. One such feature is the ability to view pictures continuously, without the need to manually open each one. This can be especially useful when you need to quickly browse through a large collection of photos. In this blog post, we will guide you on how to view pictures on Mac continuously.

Using Preview

The simplest method to view pictures continuously on a Mac is by using the built-in Preview application. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open Finder and navigate to the folder containing your images.
  2. Select the images you want to view. If you want to select multiple images, hold the Command key while clicking on each image.
  3. Once you’ve selected the images, right-click on one of them and select Open With > Preview.

Preview will open with your selected images. You can use the arrow keys or the navigation arrows in the Preview toolbar to view the images continuously.

Using Quick Look

Another method is to use the Quick Look feature on your Mac. This allows you to view images (and other file types) directly from Finder without needing to open them in an application. Here’s how:

  1. Select the image files in Finder as described above.
  2. Press the Spacebar. This will open the Quick Look window showing the first image.
  3. Use your arrow keys to navigate through the images.

The Quick Look feature also allows you to view images in full screen for a more immersive viewing experience. To do this, click on the two outward-facing arrows in the top right corner of the Quick Look window or press Option + Command + Y.

Using Photos App

If you have imported your photos into the Photos app on your Mac, you can view them continuously in the app. Once you open the app, you can just use the left and right arrow keys to scroll through your photos.

In conclusion, viewing pictures continuously on a Mac is a straightforward process thanks to the built-in features of the operating system. Whether you prefer using Preview, Quick Look, or the Photos app, you can easily browse through your images without the need to open them one at a time.
