Maybe you need to change the icon size View Options preference for that
folder / window.

It's possible that Photoshop 6 doesn't save "hi-res" icons as part of
the icon set. You could try turning off Photoshops option to create an
icon and let the Finder do it itself (assuming it's a standard image
file-type).

If you mean the right-most pane in Column View, then that's usually a
preview of the image file itself rather than the icon. It's only an
icon for files that Finder / Preview doesn't know about.
