Is there a way to have larger thumbnails in Mac OS 9.1?

I want to be able to have them without doing a contact sheet from Photoshop or having an application open.

I seem not to know precicly what you mean by "thumbnails" in 9.1. Where are these displayed?

Well, in the finder windows you have a choice between lists, buttons and icons. Ahhh! Details, details! I meant icons and not thumbnails. Anyway, I was looking for a way to be able view the icons larger, i.e. OSX icon size in OS 9.1....Thanks!

There may be a third-party app I'm not aware of, but nothing from Apple will make the icons larger than 32x32 in Classic MacOS.

Well, when veiwing as Buttons the icon size is 64x64 with a 32x32 icon centered on an expanse of nicely molded grey. SO like Joey said (to paraphrase) the OS itself won't show an icon bigger that 32x32.
Perhaps there is a ResEdit guru out there who knows how to make the Classic OS "Stretch" an icon to fill the button view.
