Q: How can I change the photo to the next one in preview?

How can I change the photo to the next one in preview? Usually I open one photo and I close the preview and I open the next photo again? Is it possible to open one photo and by pushing some button to change to the next photo?

    Please rephrase your question - it is not clear - and describe exactly what you want to do and where you are trying to do it

     

    If you are talking about using the Preview application with Photos stored in the Photos application rather than previews in Photos then there is no way - the preview application can not directly access the Photos database

    Yes, in El Capitan - MacOS X 10.11.  Which version do you have?

    If you select several image files at once in the Finder to open in Preview, Preview will show them as thumbnails in the sidebar.

    You can then step the photos in Preview using the arrow keys.

     

    I tried several times to add a screenshot, but it is impossible today.
