You can still bring up the Preview on the right if you want. I can also sort them by using Sort By and then I can sort by name which would then put them in the order for file names here. So I can increase these to quite a large size to be able to see them. So you turn that on and that's the slider there at the bottom. If you don't see the slider do View and then you want to say Show Status Bar. I can use the slider at the bottom right corner to change the size. So I'll go into here and I can see these thumbnails here. Icon View is very useful because you can see your photos as thumbnails. List View also allows me to sort really easily so I can sort by Date Modified or different things. So I can still navigate using the keyboard to get nice previews with all this information here in List View. I can use the left arrow to close the folder. If I want to open up a folder I can use the right arrow when I'm over the folder and it will open up the folder and I can go down. So I can use the arrow keys now to go through here. I can drag this line here to make that a little bigger. I'm going to do View, Show Preview and now when I select a photo I can see the Preview there. I can also bring up a preview area here which is useful for photos. I can use the arrow keys to get around inside. I can click this Reveal triangle to reveal the photos in there. I'm going to use Command up arrow and I can see the various folders here. In List View you only see stuff in the current folder. So it's not as useful as location but at least you can see there's location data there. So depending upon what type of camera was used you can see here I've got, for instance, longitude and latitude information even because it's from an iPhone. In addition to the photo you're going to see all sorts of information here about it. Grab the line here and shrink or grow the preview area or the right side of the window as well. If you don't then you need to go to View, and instead of Hide Preview this will say Show Preview and you can turn this on. So here I am in Column View and I can select a photo and see a big preview of it on the right. Now I can use the four different views of the Finder to view these photos. Then I have folders in them that contain the different photos. I can then create multiple folders like Library 1 and Library 2 or give them different names in my Pictures folder here. I could put this in my iCloud Drive folder if I want that. That means it won't be synced with iCloud. So what I've done here is I've created a Library 1 folder in my Pictures folder. You can even do things like a slideshows and use comments and tags. You can use the four Finder views to easily view the photos. You could store these as Folders in the Finder and there's a lot of functionality there. Maybe I'm working with a set of photos from somebody else. But sometimes I want to store a separate group of photos. That's where I put all of my personal photos. There you can read more about it, join us and get exclusive content.
