Hi. When I save images in Photoshop, they have these ugly icons:

What can I do to make all my images have pretty thumbnailed icons like this?:

Thumbnail Pro is an app that does this. (http://homepage.mac.com/mthole/thumbnail/)

Don't you get this option in Photoshop's preferences? It's there in Photoshop Elements.

Failing that, in Finder's prefs set 'All Windows' to 'Show icon preview' although that way won't save the icon in the file.

Thank you.

My prefer way of "thumbnailing" them is to let Finder do it themselves to keep the consistency.

First, change the file format from Photoshop to Preview.app and make sure that Finder is set to give Icon a preview (CMD + J). With that, you should be able to view all pictures on the icons.

I dislike Photoshop's preview icon. If the image is 2x2, the icon will be set to 2x2, making it very hard to select. Bad idea.
