Hi all,

I am new to PS CS6, only had it for a couple of weeks, one of the things I need assistance with is that once I have saved an image once processed I save it into a new folder, when I open the folder to show someone my images all the icons come up with PS rather than what I am used to being an image preview so you know which image you are selecting, is this normal or have I not done something that I should of.

Would be grateful for any help

Regards

Chris
 
You need to flatten the image before saving it. Or save it as a jpg file to allow viewing outside PS
 
Alternatively, if you don't want to flatten and save to jpg to allow viewing outside of windows, save the unflattened file as a tif. That way you can still view it as a thumbnail or in the likes of Windows Photo Viewer etc.

If you want to keep them as unflattened PSD files then you can download a codec that lets you view them in the same way. Dependant on your OS I guess. This is handy for at least viewing the thumbnail to navigate to the correct file.
 
If they are jpgs or tiff, Right click anywhere in the folder View - Large or Medium Icons, then you will be able to see the images rather than the PS icon :thumbs:

You can save as jpg without flattening

If they are jpg or tiff then they will have the respective jpg or tiff icons, no? It is only if it is a PSD file then it has the PS icon?

Yes, probably down to how each individual has their machines set-up. Default programs and all that.
