Large image previews in column view

I read elsewhere about individually changing column sizes in column view (hold down option key while dragging column), and noticed my image previews were of different sizes depending on which program last saved the image. I found that by using Graphic Converter, I could create previews of any size, up to the full original. The recource fork does get correspondingly larger, however. This is like having the Preview app intergrated with the Finder, except all the privew data is pre-generated.

[robg adds: You'll have to hit the Preferences button in Graphic Converter's Save As dialog to set the image preview size (or set it once using the Preferences panel, of course). It's fairly impressive to watch the Finder resize the image previews as you make the columns wider and narrower.]
