I’m not sure what would cause it, but you could try deleting the .DS_Store file in the folder. You’ll have to enable viewing of hidden files in the Finder – which you can do with any number of apps such as Onyx (Free), or MacPilot, etc…

Ok, this post was helpful, but I actually have a further mystery… what do you do when a jpg saved from Photoshop just plain doesn’t display the dimensions… What I’m asking is not for a way to find the dimensions to this image… I can do that several ways. My question is why it isn’t showing already, and what to do to fix it. Thanks so much… Here’s the folder in icon view

Helpful tip, although it looks as if you need to change the setting for every folder. Being a web designer you can imagine the state of my desktop. Is there a way to apply this to all folders?

Sorry, should have been more clear. This tip ONLY works in icon view. Just in case you don’t know much about them (you probably do), I highly recommend you try either Apple Aperture or Adobe Lightroom. Both are excellent apps for photographers to manage their photo libraries – and might just be what you’re looking for.

Really?
Where do you see these dimensions? Love to see a screen shot… If you turn it on you see them on the desktop and in “icon” view (which I never use) but not in “list or column” view.

Image dimensions ARE shown when in the Finder, both in windows or on the desktop. 😉

One thing I wish Apple would include in the finder view is to “show dimensions”…
For photographers it makes it easier to sort in the finder…
