Abambo--Thank you for your reply. <<I do not see a disadvantage to this.>> From my perspective, here are the disadvantages: The first option doesn't work; the second is inefficient and takes way too long. "Zooming the browser": Not sure what systems Adobe has (or recommends), but on both my PC & Mac, desktops and laptops (and across several browsers--Firefox, Chrome & Safari), I get erratic screen behavior and not what I really need (a larger view). For example, if I use the zoom function on a picture I've clicked on, the browser switches from the image I am interested in back to the overall thumbnail view. Okay, fine. If I zoom the thumbnails, they will get a tiny bit larger--but still not large enough to see detail, and I'm redrawing the screen with each incremental zoom. Meanwhile, I'll often lose track of the photo I'm even interested in because the screen is jumping all over the place. Then--suppose I have thumbnails now 2-wide. If I decide the photo won't work, I have to pull back the zoom--one step at a time, again, because I can't possibly scan 100's of images at a glance when they aren't thumbnails anymore . . . . yeah, a it's a mess. Downloading preview: Instead of just looking at a larger picture on your website, I have to a) click download preview (wait for popup) b) tell my computer where I want to save the file c) wait for it to download (fast, but not instantaneous--I'm sure my antivirus software is happy too) d) open up the file in my image viewer. This process takes a minimum of seven clicks, not to mention wait time for downloading (and I have a screaming fast connection). And why would anyone want to clutter up their machine with extraneous files when they are just trying to look for one they might want to purchase? At the end of this process, I have one more step to delete files I didn't need in the first place. Bottom line: It's too much work when a simple enlarged preview (like Fotolia has) would solve the problem. At the very least--an option to download multiple preview files at once instead of having to do each file individually would be appreciated. Is there a reason why Adobe won't implement a larger preview? Copyright? Programming complexity? Other? I'd be happy to shoot a video of these processes if it might help the programming staff/business analysts understand the frustration from a user perspective. Maybe I'm missing something? If you (or other Adobe users) have a quick tip that I'm missing, please let me know. Thanks!
