Window Pull Down Menu in Photoshop Question

Hi. Working on a catalgoue today and have opened a bunch of random photos in which each one is numbered rather than word-described. My dilemma: I need to apply a filter only to certain ones. Is there a way from the pulldown tab itself, or a plug-in available, to view thumbnails of these images alongside the names on the tab?

Yes! Create an action. Put all the images you want to affect in their own folder. Then go to File/Automate/Batch... and use your action in that batch and choose Save and Close and a new destination folder. I usually call this new folder RETOUCH, but it's up to you.

Sorry, misread your post!

Sorry, misread your post! Just use Preview on the images; gives a handy tray to the right showing all the images, and the preview of the image on the left, main screen.

I was giving you instructions for actually performing ps actions on a group of files, not for viewing them. :)

Oh yeah. Anytime you have a repetitive task on three or more files, consider creating an action for it and running File/Automate/Batch...
