Hi all,

Is there a way to "save as" in Preview anymore?
When an image is too big and I don't wanna spend 15 minutes opening Adobe Photoshop, I normally do it in Preview, by going: File > Save As.. then overwrite the old picture, but before that a dialogue opens and I drag the file quality down.

I can't seem to do this now.

All this version talk is a little confusing right now.

It's been a long long long day and things like this get me stressed!!
I guess for now Pixelmator will do :)

Thanks!
 
I think the option you are looking for has been renamed "Export as..."

I swear that wasn't there before... honest! .. How did I miss that?!

Sorry, I hadn't had my fix of coffee all day! I tend to get cranky, very very cranky. LOL

Thanks for your help, working good now :)
 
Interesting.

Is it now Export as... for everything in Preview? Like for PDF's, etc?

If not, then that's confusing. If so, then I can see how it makes sense I guess, since Preview doesn't really create anything on it's own.
