You ever have one or two photos that you need to do some quick image editing on, but you don’t want to open up iPhoto or Photoshop to do the work? Well, simply select your image file and open it up in Leopard’s Preview application. (Or just drag and drop selected images onto the Preview application icon in your dock, and they will open that way.)

From there, choose Option+Command C, and the image correction/enhancement tool panel will open up.

From there, you can make quick exposure adjustments.

You can also go to Tools>Adjust size, you will get a dialogue box in which resize the open image.

 

 

I will be doing a video tutorial that will go more in depth about using Preview.
