Apple Preview is the OS X program used for opening and editing PDFs, images, and other graphical content on your Mac computer. In this 2-hour tutorial Francesco Schiavon shows you how to get the most out of Preview!

In your day to day work with your Mac computer, youre going to open and edit a lot of PDFs, JPGs, PNGs, and other graphics files. Preview is the software application youll use to accomplish these tasks, and many more.

This tutorial begins with a detailed overview of the tools youll use to edit and modify images and other files in Preview. Youll learn how to use the Move and Select tools, the Text tools, the Lasso, and the Instant Alpha tools.

Next, youll move on to discover how easy it is to annotate text and PDF files with preview. Youll learn how to use the Strike Through and Highlight tools, and also the Underline tool. Preview also provides a Side Bar you can use to navigate through your annotations, and youll learn all the tricks you need to get the most out of this time-saving feature.

With a solid text treatment under your belt, youll next learn how to edit images by rotating, cropping, and color shifting graphics files. Youll even discover how easy it is to resample images, and transcode from one image format to another.

PDFs are a big part of Preview, and you dont need Adobe Acrobat Reader to edit these files - Preview provides a perfect alternative! Youll learn how to create multi-page PDFs, add images to PDF files, and even how to password protect a PDF so other people cant edit or change files for certain security purposes.

This is a comprehensive tutorial, but you dont have to watch the entire show. Use the detailed menus and keyword search functions to quickly find topics of interest ... thats the essence of NonLinear Educating!
