Another question for the Mac girls

I've noticed that a lot of the images for papers and elements in the files for my scrapbook stuff just show with a notation such as jpeg on them. I can't see the actual design. Is there some way that they can be made into images can see before I open them in PS? It's like opening a can from the cabinet that lost it's label; i don't know for sure what it is until I open it in the program,lol. There are the odd folders where I can indeed see what they are, but more often than not, I can't.
Any help's appreciated.

Do you mean like the thumbnail doesn't show the image preview?

When you're using Finder, go to View>Show View Options and see if Show Icon Preview is clicked or not.

yes, that's it,lol. I'll check that out! ty

Well darn it, that didn't work. Any other ideas,anyone,lol?
