Instead of wasting time dragging and dropping, just press Cmd+Down Arrow to open the files (usually images are associated with Preview.app as the default application). Cmd+Down Arrow in the Finder opens (navigates one level down) whatever is selected: folder or single file or multiple files. Cmd+Up Arrow goes one level up from the current folder.

Path Finder has a few nice features, but its updates and update schedules haven't been great. A cheaper alternative that also supports network transfers is Forklift.

It is mentioned in the article immediately after Path Finder. The author says they prefer Path Finder for its good column view, which they find no alternative offers.
- derefr 6y ago> Instead of wasting time dragging and dropping, just press Cmd+Down Arrow to open the files I believe this does something different: it opens each photo in its own Preview window. It’s basically the difference between passing multiple arguments to one “Open” invocation, and passing one argument apiece to multiple “Open” invocations. If the images are in a folder, though, you can “Open With” the folder with Preview.
