PSD File preview in Vista/XP:
I love Photoshop and have become fairly proficient over the years; however having had to go Vista recently due to new laptop etc (I know I could install a new OS but that can be a real pain) and in fact under XP never been able to see PSD files as thumbnails I can’t recommend this solution highly enough. It works a treat and saves real time in sorting what is what and where. Brilliant!
