Why very difficult some easy things on MacOS about photo or files ??

Why very difficult some easy things on MacOS about photo or files ??


Hello everybody. I bought 13" MacBookPro 2014 late last year. with 128gb ssd . and now I have El Captain OS last version with full updates. 10.11.1

and I have photos with Canon 6d - 7d - 70d M and L quality.


now my problem is about looking photos


and there is the biggest problem some users also has same problem. and there is no solution ,nothing is fixing this JPEG green in Preview.app on OS X 10.11


I try to open with Preview but images are GREEN.


by the way why so difficult to look with Preview.

in MS windows (with xp or win7 or 10 ) I click one photo and it shows me simple photo viewer. very easy. 3 button back - Play - Next. or rotate. zoom in zoom out.

I click to image and if I push to right or Left arrow I can see next to back photo in same folder. why this easy thing is very difficult on mac ????


I should Choose which photo I want to look and I should open in the same time. and usually opens 2-3 window.


in windows xp or win7 or win10 if I don't like image viewer there is too many alternative and I choose Picasa.

Picasa also nice viewer and I use that on windows. but. in Mac there is Picasa for mac but not included picasa photo viewer. ( I am not sure but I used 2 years ago picasa with macbook and there was image viewer but I am not sure )


and another thing is about photo information viewer on status bar.

in MS win7 . it is just super. I can see what I see about photo at status bar. I can add or remove which exif information want to see. and I can see this with Detailed File List view also. at coloums I can choose which exif informations I want.


in MACOS I have to choose photo file and I have to look information with cmd+i . why this easy thing is very difficult and complicated on macOS ??? and not useful.


after this green screen problem I start to look photos with cmd+space . it is quick solution


and I installed some programs. and I found HakView and it is close to what I needs. of course not like picasa viewer.


and good thing is on the title near photo name . there is resolution and camera model and shutter speed and aperture and iso also I can see.

but this program also little bit stupid. when I open one image I can't look next or back with buttons or mouse . or I can make actual size or zoom in-out. stupid. thing.


now I try to Toyviewer it is little bit better but still this is also not what I want !!!


it is so difficult to look photo on MAC ???? and how Can Explain to people this Green screen problem ?? I bought very expensive notebook with Retina but I can't open photo even 20 megapiksel . it is not 5d mark3 or d800 image. L size photos . I can't open 6d or 7d or 70d. but 300usd laptops can open ))) with default programs.



I just want to look photo like on win7 one click and see some exif information on status bar. and double click see big size. and control next back buttons. thats all. it is difficult ????


I have AdobeBridge , picasa , pixelmator, , Photos (mac) and Toy-viewer

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
