You can view images in your File Browser by Ranks or by Different Thumb Sizes. Lets see how we change the different views, how we can view images within a folder. To do so there are a couple of different ways. Go to the bottom of the File browser you will see ‘Large with Rank’, its the default value set for the File Browser. As shown in below picture.

This is the new means that would be made to open files. So where is the File browser?. It is places in two locations. One is Windows Menu > File Browser and the other is File Menu > Browse, as shown in below Figures.

             
 
By clicking on the File Browser it will open a Window Called File browser, as seen in below Figure.

 
You can Resize it according to your need, either you can resize the inner windows of the file browser. We are going to see benefits to it on the Open Dialog box. You can view all the images as Thumbnails in the File browser. You can browse your folders to find images in the left Menu in File Browser. If you want to open an Image in the Photoshop Workspace, Just double click on the image in the file browser and it will automatically open the image in the workspace and the image is ready to be modified. So the file browser is the great way to open the files as well as the open Command, but there is more and we are going to look at that, in just a brief moment.
When you click on any image in the File Browser, you see a larger preview of the image in the left of the File Browser. You can see the details of your image selected in the left bottom corner of the File Browser as shown in below figure.

 
It shows the file name , date created, image format, image resolution, and all the information you need about the image.
So this is our File Browser and we are going to investigate it more deeply now.
 

Now we Go ahead and open a file in Photoshop, there is a variety of ways to open a file. Go up to the File Menu and look for option called ‘Open’, This is just like you open files in other computer applications. Click on Open and you will be faced by a Open Dialog Box. Browse through the File in Your PC any choose any Image File, A picture of your own will do the best. When you have selected the image file press Open, this will open the picture in the Photoshop workspace. Now you can begin working on the Document. Don’t feel like we are done yet, There is actually a better way to open your files. And that’s we are going to look at it immediately after this. So the New method which I will introduce in Photoshop 7 is the ‘File Browser’.

I like to go ahead and start off by opening Photoshop for the first time. On the left side of the Photoshop You have Tools or the Tool Bar, As you can see in the Left Figure. The Tool bar is where all the tools are kept.

 
Above the Tool bar is the options Bar as shown in the below figure. This is a contextual menu that works in conjunction with what tool has been selected, this will change in your option TooChange based on the tool selected.
