Preview is excellent and with only a little bit of work could solve most image editing needs. I do a lot of basic editing in Preview even knocking up quickie thumbnails and covers in it. The colour palette is a quick way to get good clean images in minutes. I also archive a lot of images to heic format (with alpha) which saves vast amounts of drive space. It also demonstrates what a Byzantine bureaucracy Apple is. The image editing tools in Preview are similar but _not the same_ as the tools in Pages/Numbers/Keynote and Photos which shows the teams _don't communicate_ and don't share code, as much as that would make sense and save a lot of duplication.

Preview is excellent. The "Markup Tools" are actually shared code between these apps. But different apps set them up differently, which is why they vary in functionality between Mail, Quick Look, Preview/Images, Preview/PDF, Photos, etc.

@@macmost My idea of a good System wide editor would be that in any shared App it would use Preview and save the result locally. Which would encourage Apple to fix all the UI inconsistencies and fill in the missing bits. btw Preview used to work better with the older iWork Apps copying any iWork objects and switching to Preview > New would create a neat vector pdf file. Now it rasterises the objects to low res bitmaps.

So far it seems that using preview for this is working out well, and when I upload the edited png onto the mock-ups on the printing site, it says the image is good quality and from what I can tell will print fine. But after trying to figure out other ways to change the color (I have zero graphic design experience lol), doing it in preview seems to simple or too good to be true - so I want to be sure, is there any reason that changing the color of PNGs using preview would distort the quality of the file or anything like that?

I have a lot of JPG images I've downloaded from various websites. When I make a change, such as flip horizontal, I get a message: "This document can be duplicated to a format that supports editing." I have the option to choose "Convert to TIFF" or "Undo Changes". This does not happen on every JPG file. And while converting to TIFF solves the issue for that particular image, it gets old when I have to keep doing it over and over. Anybody know how to solve this? I have looked around on Google and KZitem but found nothing. I have privileges set to read and right and I'm signed in as admin.

It probably depends on the type of jpeg the image is. Usually you should choose PNG, not TIFF though. I'd try doing it with a third-party image editing app instead, like Pixelmator Pro or Acorn. It is probably that Preview can only save in certain types of jpeg formats and so if an image is one that it doesn't save in, it has to convert it. I'd still export in jpeg though as a TIFF file would be huge. A PNG still better, but probably not what you want.

Hi. Thank you for a great video. I am new to macbooks and am struggling to find a way to do something I could have done so easily on my PC. If I have an image, say Apple's logo and I want to change the entire color of the logo itself to say green, how can I do that. They called it colour fill in Windows. I know how colour picker words, but can't figure out how to apply the colour chose to a certain part of an image. Windows would normally change everything that is a specific colour and which is joined to each other to that new colour chosen. In other words, the Apple would have changed colour, but not the leaf above the apple, because there is another colour seperating the two from each other.

To do that in Windows, you have to use an app. Which app did you use? Likewise, you can do it with an app on a Mac, like Acorn, Pixelmator Pro, Seashore, Photoshop, etc. Preview doesn't do pixel editing so you can't do it with Preview.

Excellent. Question about resolution: When you D/L a .jpg photo that opens in Preview, if you increase the pixels under Adjust Size, say from 72 to 144, what happens? Will this double the actual resolution -- that is, make the pic look twice as sharp? Or is real resolution always limited to what the original photo has, say 72 pixels in this case? This ? is analogous to a taking a D/L song file, typically 320 kbps, and converting that to a WAV file. The result will be a much larger file that now identifies as WAV, but an Apple Genius told me that it won't actually sound any better, because conversion can't ever overcome the "resolution" limits of the original 320 .mp3 -- as opposed to, say, starting with a FLAC file, in which case conversion to WAV (for iTunes) WILL sound better than any .mp3 of the same song. Is this also true of photos in general?

You are probably referring to DPI (dots per inch) which is a printing thing. It doesn't really matter for the image and for viewing it on the screen. A 4000x3000-pixel image is going to be 4000x3000 no matter if it is 72 or 144 dpi.
