Stupid Mac Workflow Trick

[eronald]

You can use Bridge to sift thru Raws to look at them. It's slow to start and a pain.
You can use C1. It's cumbersome.

Instead of the above, use Coverflow with Leopard. Move to the folder where your files sit. In addition to icon view and list views, there's the Coverflow view (last of 4). Arrows will move you through the displayed previews. When you need to look at something in detail control-click on the file and open it with Photoshop.

Too much hard work Edmund....

Just select the files you want to see and hit the space bar...

Point of the trick is to figure out which ones one wants to see.
BTW - space bar gets you nowhere with Phase files.

I would simply prefer to use Slideshow in Bridge [Cntrl/Cmmd+L] as it allows me to rotate images and also rank/rate/reject images, far easier workflow to my mind than using Coverflow. And Bridge is very fast on my new machine, even with just the basic 2G of RAM. Though there have been a lot of complaints about Bridge that may be linked to nVidia cards and some Adobe bugs. There have been quite a few updates. I'm on 2.1.1.9 + OSX 10.5.2
I don't use MFD files in Bridge as Hasselblad files and Bridge have issues and you cannot use ACR with them anyway.
