Preview, more than just a pretty face

preview appSome people, and I won't name names, don't think that Preview is to be trusted. I am a trusting guy, so I turn to Preview to handle most of my PDF viewing needs (Acrobat isn't installed on Ambrose, my trusty Powerbook).

Giles Turnbull wants everyone to know that Preview is a great PDF viewer, but it can do so much more. You can edit photos, add keywords, and make julienne fries. Read the article and show a little more respect to humble little Preview.

Turnbull has a lot of great tips like this (I'm spending the afternoon playing with iWork again-- thanks!)... Scott Bruin, you might want to check out Resize, over here: http://homepage.mac.com/superpixel

Another overlooked feature of Preview is the "Import Image..." command, which controls your scanner. Built-in and beautiful!

Sadly, though, Preview can't resize images, a must if you want to post little thumbnail-type shots on a blog like you guys do. Any recommendations for what to do this with? I'm sick of opening photoshop.
