What is a good photo viewer for the Mac? I want one that can view jpeg and raw files, also delete the bad ones. I have tried Apollo One and the delete didn’t work. I have also tried Pviewer and the thumbnails picture would not load. I don’t want to buy it before I try it.

Don't you have Photos on your MAC? It's built into IOS and can be used to view, import, edit or delete photos.

On a Mac select the picture and tap the space bar. A resizable preview opens. You can go to the next picture using the arrow keys and delete with command delete. When you delete the next preview will open. It works with the Canon raw file as well with tiff and psd files.

Learn something new every day. I was pressing and holding the space bar to view photos and when I released the space bar it quit showing the photo. I never knew by tapping the space bar it leaves the picture open, thanks for the tip it saves some extra steps.

Apple Preview is a MacOS application that comes with every Mac.

Graphic Converter is a perennial favorite of long-time Mac users. Thorsten Lemke has been developing this since the early 1990s. It is sheer gold... the Swiss Army Knife of graphic file viewing, conversion, resizing, and manipulation. It probably has thousands of uses, yet it is easy to use. The price is right, too... free to try for 30 days, or about $40 to license. Graphic Converter has been on every Mac I've owned or used since 1993. The slide show function can be configured as a cull editor that can sort images into different folders as you view them, using a simple keystroke combination. I set it up to edit sports team photos in a lab about 18 years ago. We used it for four years, until our IT department wrote something more process-specific.

Try "Image Capture" which is a MAC app. You can transfer images from you SD card to the app temporarily and from there to a folder of your choice. Otherwise your photos wind up in Photos which converts them to files that read as JPEG.

FastRawViewer can do all that and much more.

If you want to do more but not as far as Photoshop, try Adobe 'Elements' Photoshop @ $79.

Exactly - Mac Photo's should be good and it comes with the Mac.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have been trying Graphic Converter and really like it. For what I want it is great. I am using photoshop less and less. If GC had the content aware feature I would give up Photoshop. 😁

Your MAC OS will do everything you described. You don't even have to upload them to your computer. Just insert the card you captured your photos on into a card reader. The drive should show up in Finder. Just dbl-click on the drive to open it and then dbl-click on the folder containing your photo files. Click on the first file and then click on the "Quick Look" icon in the Finder bar (near the middle of the top bar). This will open up the file for viewing. I have used this on Canon, Sony, and DNG raw files as well JPG and many other file types. You can use the UP & Down arrows to brows through all the files. When you find a file you don't want, just ESC out and drag-and-drop it into the TrashCan. You can continue with "Quick Look" again until you have completed your review. If you want to do more than just review and delete you will need an editor to do that like Photoshop, Light Room, Capture One, Affinity Photo, Luminar, On1 Photo Raw or Photos(Built in MAC OS app). Hope this helps.
