  What Is Preview (and Why You Should Use It)

Just a couple of the new features in 10.4's Preview that I'd like to note:



  • The ability to use AppleScript to control Preview is new in 10.4. The article doesn't make this clear, but Preview in earlier versions of Mac OS X doesn't allow scripting at all.

  • You can constrain a selection to be square by holding 'shift', which is a fairly standard idiom (Photoshop uses it too, for example). I find this handy for making album art exactly square before adding it to track via iTunes.

    Using "shift" to constrain the selection to a square only seems to work with image files, not PDF documents. Useful tip anyway, thanks.
