Numberzz Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 The simple PDF and image viewer that it was in Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" has become much more than what it used to be. Today, Appleinsider has written a guide on what is new in Preview 4. As Preview's new graphics editing features fill out in Leopard, it almost becomes frustrating that the free little app isn't a full blown Photoshop. Preview also handles PDF editing features, which will no doubt irritate some for not matching every detail of Adobe's full price Acrobat Professional. As a free tool of Leopard however, Preview does a lot and suggests even more in its potential. Here's is a list of what is new: Appearance, Window Layout, Sidebar, Search, new Tools, Annotate Tools, Graphics Tools, Adjust Size, some Extract Tools(such as Instant Alpha). Tiger on the left and Leopard on the right. Select and extract parts of images. Full Comparison List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Ingus Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Oh my god this is looking really nice! At the very least it will help those who don't have PS Elements. Great job Apple, and THANKS Numberz for pointing out the new features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mebster Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'll just be happy if it allows me to preview the next image in a folder without having to open them all up. A simple request you would think. I wonder if that's been added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2k. Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 maybe not.cause you know the "think different" slogan ... "Why keep it simple when it can be complicated" ~R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbz Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 in leopard, you can do that without opening preview app. To see all the images in a folder, theres that new 'quick preview' feature or something to that effect. Not sure if you can zoom, tho... dnt rly remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyel Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Don't pictures above remind you of "Magic Wand" in Adobe Photoshop. http://heathrowe.com/tuts/knockout.asp?knockout=mwand That's impressive for Apple's Preview app. --danyel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
