Mac Preview viewer - resizing?

Hello,

I have a simple question - I'm trying to review data files. They're digital images. I am opening them as a folder, many images at once, and using Preview. The problem is that I'm not sure if/how I can resize all of them at once. I'd like to be able to enlarge/zoom in on the image, then keep it set at that zoom in. When I scroll/mouse/arrow from one image to the next, it returns to the original font size. As I'm trying to go through hundreds of images, this is a major drawback.

Can you set the font size on an entire folder you did/want to open? Can you resize all of them at once?

I know on other viewers can do this. Do I have another viewer? Are there other viewers I could use?

Not looking to do anything fancy except read digitial images of documents. Zooming on each one is really slowing me down.

Ideas?

I'm using a 2013 Macbook Pro. Thanks!

Mac Pro

Preview is set up to show the whole image and when you switch to a new file the zoom will switch back to show the full image.

To answer you question I think I need to ask is the content you want to view always the same position within every picture? If so then the only way I can think to do what you want is to perform a crop operation on all the pictures then save them as another set of files then you "flip" through those.

I have Graphic Converter to do this. You can purchase if you want. There are other image viewers.

Here is a list of Graphics applications I know of:

Graphic Converter (has scripting ir batch processing)

iPhoto

Aperture

Adobe Lightroom

Preview

GIMP

SciLab

ImageJ (Has batch processing)
