I have a lot of PSD files in many random directories. Sometime I need to view many files quickly without loading into Photoshop.
I am looking for a lightweight PSD viewer application, is there any?

For the Mac OS, just hit the space bar with the file highlighted. You can also use Preview on the Mac to view .psd files. And if you have Photoshop, you have Bridge. You could easily view (very large) thumbnails of everything in Bridge. |

IrfanView can view PSD files, among many others. It probably requires that the file contains the Image Preview, but it's on by default in Photoshop, so it shouldn't be a problem. Also, installation includes Thumbnails software, which might be helpful for browsing through the directories. |

You didn't state OS, so I am assuming Windows in my answer. If you prefer to view them in Explorer etc. you can install this little (free) utility that will display thumbnails for PSD and a bunch of other formats. It's for Win XP, win 7 (32/64 bit): http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/SageThumbs.shtml |

I usually use Picasa and it's free. But sometimes it can't preview the PSD - usually if the size is big, say like over 200mb. |
