Sort Downloads by Kind. Select the group of photos. Double click. They will all be opened in one Preview window and you can scroll through all the photos.

Or, select the first, touch the space bar and you will see the Quick Look preview. Use the arrow keys to move between the different files.

Not really seeing the messssss, but to each their own I guess.

View on HN

Not an option, i have list, and by date. Tons of files. No proper viewer

You can group files in Finder by kind, all image files will then appear together. In list or column view clicking on one will preview it directly in finder in a side panel. You make this preview panel bigger. Tapping Space will open a preview window and you can use the arrow keys to navigate the files behind in Finder. Or select them all and tap space and use the arrows to browse them.

> Select the group of photos.

Not that easy depending on the number of pictures and the folder content.

> Use the arrow keys to move between the different files.

Won't work correctly in grid view.

Also: I don't want to mess with the way I set up Finder to display/sort the folder just to view the pictures.

Create Smart Folders and sort by date, type, location, etc... Whatever you want. Then open the folder. You can tell Finder to use View as Gallery in those folders.

You can also just continue to use Grid view and tell Finder to use large preview icons in that folder.
