I have a mac os x and photoshop cs6. The problem I'm having is.... when I have finished a picture and saved it for web, I also use them as screen savers. If I want to show someone the picture, I double click on it  ( and here's the problem), it opens up photoshop again. Is there someway to save the picture so that I can just open it up with out it opening Photoshop everytime? I always save to .jpg.

what program do you want to open it in ? Preview? It is in you Applications folder. Just drag the Preview icon onto your dock. Then when you want to open your picture, drag it onto the Preview icon.

Oh... thank you, thank you. That works. I was thinking of when you have a folder with the pictures in it, that you could just double click on the picture and it would come up, but this is just as good.

in cs3X, there's no way AFAIK to save an image file to open in preview.app,
but select an image file with a photoshop icon, get info, open with ..... preview.app,
then change all.

if you have leopard, just hit the space bar when you have the picture selected, and it will open it in "quick look" . You can do this with HTML, text, psd, and folders. There's some mods around that allow you to view the contents of zip files as well

You could also save it as a Photoshop pdf - and then you can open it in Adobe Acrobat - and send it to anyone who hasn't got Photoshop.

I'm not a mac person but if you open the program you want view your jpgs in then go to the File Association in Options and select jpg to associate with that program.
