Crop, Resize and Export an Image With Preview 

same!!! Just got my iMac about 2 months ago... was totally lost. Not anymore. This channel changed the game!

Look into using the Shortcuts app for that. Or, just rely on the Mail app's built-in function where it makes images smaller before you send them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7MBtQpH7iJE.html

You can do that in Preview. Open both images. Select only yourself from one image (or use the new Copy Subject feature) and then copy and paste it into the other image. See macmost.com/10-uses-for-the-copy-subject-function-in-macos.html for instance.

Right, any app would have a minimum size of its windows. I can't give advice unless I know what you goal is here. You can always overlap windows, or use multiple spaces (Mission Control).

Looks like you selected the option when you first ran Photoshop Elements to allow it to be the default app for images. To change it back, see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oVqka7TGdOA.html

@@macmost Gary, Thanks very much. That's what I had done, I'm sure. I have now used "command i", "open with", and "change all" on examples of all the image file types I use. Now I'll practice using Preview instead of Elements. Thanks again. 👍

That's a resize, not crop.

It shouldn't. Try it and see.

What does this have to do with images in Preview? I have a tutorial here that may have what you are looking for: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r_RRpZhUCzQ.html

@@macmost how else do I find out if you have such a tutorial? I never expected that all your tutorials would be here on RU-vid. I expected that you may say that you have such a tutorial available to your patrons, which I would then join to learn more. What I did not expect was a rude approach to your answer to my question. What a disappointment! I’ve given you loads of views over the years. 😞

@@planwithmarianne3811 Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I was honestly asking. Usually people ask a question about the tutorial they are viewing. I thought maybe I was misreading your question and not understanding what you were asking. Keep in mind I have to read and respond to hundreds of comments and questions per day so I fly through them as quickly as I can. I don't always have the luxury of thinking through each sentence. Most of my tutorials are at MacMost.com and there's a search box at the top of the site. But you can also search here on RU-vid if you like. But I also have a forum where you can ask anything and I'll point you to the right video if one exists: macmost.com/ask

It should save over the image. Of course you can rely on Time Machine to keep your previous version from the last hour in case you make a mistake. But it is a good idea to be very aware of what you are choosing to do if you just make a change and save.

@@macmost Thanks. Yes, the few times I've done this, I've copied all the large files to a backup before editing so that if I ever need the large versions in the future I can retrieve them off of the backup -- or from Time Machine (I do both TM and my own backups). You can never overemphasize the importance of backups of any data that you don't want to lose.

In Preview I don't think you can. You'd need to do it manually.

You can do that in the Photos app if the photo is there. Otherwise, most (all?) graphics apps like Pixelmator, Photoshop, Acorn, etc, will do that.

@@macmost Thanks, my mistake, question was insufficient, should have included - without magnification of image. Magnification required due to trim of corners. Would prefer a vertical side trim/crop of the length picture and no magnification option. Thinner picture not magnified or like zoomed in on. )-: or :-(

@@dougiefroghopper7567 Not sure what you mean. It wouldn't "magnify" it just by rotating it in Photos or any of those others. Maybe you are confusing the zoom you are seeing when you crop with changing the photo itself.

@@macmost When ever I open Photos, select a pic, "Edit "Crop" Straighten" then move horizontal slider in either direction as the picture rotates to straighten the picture is magnified - taking a picture to 45 degree rotation - max on slider the picture is magnified to a significant degree

@@dougiefroghopper7567 the actual picture isn’t magnified, it just zooms in the view.

Shift Key, yes.

That's not what I am covering here, but it is easy to do with Preview. Just select an area, Copy, Paste, drag the corners to resize, drag the whole thing to reposition. Also, keep in mind that there are many different image editing apps out there too, not just Preview or MS Paint. This isn't an "on Window" vs "on Mac" thing. This is about which app you are using, regardless of the operating system.

@@macmost Thank you, I’ll give that a shot. I just got a MacBook and I’m trying to manipulate an image and I’m just appalled on how difficult to do something so simple on certain programs. I’ll give Preview a try.
