Not actually a PSE tip, but it's so handy when I'm searching for a psd file -

had a duh moment...
I know, I know - you guys probably always knew this...

After 8 years of using a Mac (two different ones) - I discovered something the other day
(at first, I thought it was a PSE function, but it works with all file formats - whether PSE is open or not)
After you select a file - hit the spacebar - a large preview of the file appears
Simple as that - it works with Pages (word processing) files - jpg's, psd's, etc.
One step - no longer do you have to right click and hit 'open with preview'
Hit spacebar again, and the preview closes
It even works if you have a psd icon instead of a preview
On another note:
BTW - does anyone know why, in some instances, when I saved a psd file,
I ended up with an icon instead of a small photo??
Re-saving doesn't solve the issue
now, though, hitting the space bar at least allows me to see the file without opening in PSE
-- not sure the icon-y thing has happened recently, but not being able to make it go away by re-saving is strange
