Today’s featured tech tip….
Quickly preview most any file on your Mac with Quick Look
Have a MacBook or Mac desktop computer?
If so, you have an incredibly handy tool at your disposal what will immediately give you a full-size preview of most any file that resides on your Mac without having to bother with opening the program it’s associated with.
It’s called Quick Look, and it couldn’t be easier to use. Simply select one of more files and press the Space Bar on your keyboard.
If you selected just one file it’ll open right up in the Quick Look window. If you selected two or more files, the last file you selected will be displayed first.
What’s more, you can even edit some types of files right in Quick Look, again without having to bother with opening the program it’s associated with.
Sound good? Click here for more detailed instructions for using the awesome Quick Look tool on your Mac.
