How do you open an unix executable file?
Select the photos, right-click on them (or ctrl-click if you have a single-button mouse) and select "Open with" from the menu. Then select "Preview", if it's in the list. If it's not in the list, select "Other" and navigate to the Preview application (it's at /Applications/Preview). If Preview is greyed out, make sure to choose "Enable: All Applications" instead of "Enable: Recommended Applications" in the pull down menu.





Optionally, you can check the "Always Open With" check box.
