Quick Look!
By Del Conkright
Have you been using the Quick Look feature in Leopard? Quick Look allows you to quickly look at many of your documents and images without opening them with their application. Just click on the icon and then press the Spacebar Key. The document or image pops up in a window for you to see.

(From Mac OS X Hints, March 2008, page 99)
"...you can page through PDF's in Quick Look mode with your scroll wheel (or with two-finger scrolling on a trackpad). '...you can zoom in and out when
you're looking at PDF's and image files."
"First, click in the Quick Look window. To zoom in on PDF's, press Command-equal sign (=). To zoom out, press Command-minus sign (-)."...
"Confusingly, images use a different shortcut--...To zoom in on an image (again, click in the Quick Look window first, press the option key and click
on the image. 'To zoom out, press shift-option and click on the image. 'Once you've zoomed in, you can move an image or PDF around with the scroll wheel, trackpad scrolling, or the scroll bars."
Quick Look, as it is, doesn't open a lot of files but you can increase those by adding plug-ins. (Not suggested for beginners) Go to QLPlugins.com and
pick what you like and get BetterZip Quick Look Generator 1.1 using Google. Put in Quick Look Folder that you create. That's all there is to it.
Enjoy!
