Preview Evolves

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).

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 :blink:

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.

maybe not.cause you know the "think different" slogan ... "Why keep it simple when it can be complicated" :rolleyes:

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...
