Amnother newbie question

During my PC years a simple right click on a picture/photograph brought up the photo's info size, type etc. what's the equivalent procedure in Mac land?
Thanks

Select the photo and on your keyboard, hit Command (Apple) and the letter I at the same time.

Or in Finder column view, select the file and read the info on the right hand column and click "More info..." if you don't see what you want to know.

Well I asked a question and you gave me great answers unfortunately I did not ask the question correctly.
I am a mod on a photography forum and one of my tasks is ensuring photos posted by members are not too big, none of the methods seem to work in this situation.

When you right click and select "Get Info" you will have several expandable info sections to choose from. The top one "General" will tell you the photo's "physical size" on disk, among other things, and the "More Info" one will give you it's dimensions.

Is there a different size you need to get or is it a limitation of not having the photo physically on your hdd?

I believe the issue is:

Determining an image's size from within Safari (not the finder).

Can't help you unfortunately. My Mac is on sick leave.

getting info

Using Safari: I think the thing everyone is forgetting to mention is that you would have to download the image to your desktop first in order to ctrl-click and see the get info menu. Ctrl-clicking in the browser window will only allow you to download to the desktop, or open image in a new window etc, not get info though...

If you use Firefox, you CAN control-click and get a "properties" menu that gives you the info you want without downloading.

Actually.... Safari does one thing that I found very cool and useful the first time I came across it: if you open an image in Safari (control-click or right-click on the image, "open in new window (or tab)", look at the title bar of the window - the images dimensions are provided.

Trés cool!
