Proficient PhotoReaders always have a purpose. Preview is usually done in the bookshop or library, It takes 30 seconds, hardly worth mentioning. Don't assume they skipped the step.
Postviewing is the commencement of the activation layers that's where questions are formed and where one can start getting a sense of familiarity with the text. Again don't assume they didn't form questions, usually during postviewing if the book is merely a curiosity, WIIFM mindset, the PhotoReader will be seeking to define their purpose, even if the test seems familiar
For a PhotoReader there is no such thing as "regular reading" as you're apparently thinking of it. They use rapid reading which is a combination of all the reading techniques they have available to them.
Passive reading is simply reading without a purpose. Like walking through a forest taking any path and hoping to have found something worthwhile by the end, no matter how long it takes.
Active reading is planning that route through the forest, knowing what you need to find along the way and getting to the end sooner.
