    Adjusting colour curves per channel

    Did macOS Sonoma remove the feature of per-channel adjustment in Preview? Is there any way to bring it back?

    Sonoma changed Preview default save location to folder "printing.22832.3" which I can't find nor change as the default

    I do a lot of work in my office annotating and attaching signatures to faxes as PDFs in Preview. I'd long ago set the Downloads folder as my default for saving as that fit my workflow well. Now Preview saves edited pdfs into Printing.22832.3 that I can't even find in Finder. When I remember...

    Can't view DNG files either in Preview or with Quick Look

    I converted some image files to DNG format using Lightroom. macOS Monterey can't open these files, either in Preview or using Quick Look. I have tried both lossy and lossless DNG conversion, without success.

    Preview and Monterey not playing nicely

    On my 2017 iMac, I migrated from Mojave to Monterey, now on v12.4. Since migrating I've had trouble with opening large numbers (>30 or so) of images, almost regardless of the file sizes. Two issues: 1- I previously opened all images in a folder by Cmd-A to select them, then Cmd-O, then a...

    Hello everyone, I am having trouble with the signature option in PDF documents with preview. The camera works and sees my signature that I wrote in a piece of paper, but it just does not capture it. Could someone help me out with this? Thanks!!

    BenQ monitor and color in Preview.app

    I'm encountering something a bit weird. I just got a new BenQ SW2700pt monitor for the wide gamut Adobe RGB coverage. I'm using it with my 2019 MacBook Pro 13" with Mojave 10.14.6 connected via a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. On the BenQ, I've got an image I exported as jpg once with Adobe RGB...

    PDFs and Preview — why so blurry?

    PDFs opened in the Preview app for Mac OS Mojave (10.14.0) are blurry. It's most visible when looking at text but lines and other graphics are blurry as well and it's worse the more you zoom out. I'm on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014). Being able to render PDFs clearly is just such a...

    Anyone have a Terminal command?

    I want to FORCE Mojave Books to open pdf's in my pdf editor, NOT PREVIEW. I have done the old select a pdf+Apple+I, then designate my editor to open all pdf's. DOES NOT work in Mojave. Anyone know a way?

    All Images Want to Open in Send to Kindle?

    Apologies if this is a long read. I upgraded to El Capitan from Yosemite several weeks back. At first any image file (png/gif/jpg) wanted to open in either Firefox or Send to Kindle. (When before it had always been Preview) Now it seems to have set to thinking every image should be opened with...

    No idea what to do

    For about a year i have had an issue with MacOS on my iMac. it began sometime during my use of Sierra. After a fresh boot, log out or log in, the OS would perform smooth as silk. After maybe a half hour things start to lag. Most noticeably Safari, Finder, and UI. Safari will catch for...

    Preview App Alternative?

    Several years ago Apple pulled the "hand" tool out of Preview. So unless I'm missing something, there's no good way to scroll left/right or move around the image if you don't have a trackpad. Typically for images I can just open them in Photoshop or an image editor because all good image...

    Preview App Changed in High Sierra

    I noticed some changes in the app, most of which are towards the positive side. Has anyone found that "right-click" no longer holds the option of highlighting with colors? This creates some inconvenience for me since mine is without touch bar... Can we change it back?

    Preview app Restore does not work with onedrive or dropbox

    Sort of an FYI but also a question in case there is a workaround. As the title suggests I "discovered" that the Preview app Restore does not work with onedrive or dropbox. If a file is modified in the Preview App and then downloaded from these services it loses the ability to recover previous...
