Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition

chapter 14: the freebie programs 431

• Preview is now a mini-iPhoto, complete with color-correction tools. With a photo

on the screen, choose ToolsÆImage Correction. A passel of sliders appears (Satu-

ration, Contrast, Exposure, and so on), for your image-tweaking pleasure.

• You can export a single page from a PDF as a TIFF file, so that you can use it in

other graphics, word processing, or page layout programs—some of which might

not directly support PDF.

To extract a page, use the usual FileÆSave As command, making sure to choose the

new file format from the pop-up menu. (If you choose a format like Photoshop or

JPEG, Preview only converts the current page. That’s because there’s no such thing

as a multipage Photoshop or JPEG graphic. But you already knew that.)

The toolbar

You can have hours of fun with Preview’s toolbar. Exactly as with the Finder toolbar,

you can customize it (by choosing ViewÆCustomize Toolbar—or by Option-c-

clicking the upper-right toolbar button), rearrange its icons (by c-dragging them

sideways), and remove icons (by c-dragging them downward).

Tip: Unhappy about the full inch of screen space consumed by the toolbar? No problem. Just c-click the

toolbar button (the white capsule in the upper-right corner). With each click, you cycle to the next toolbar

style: large icons, small icons, no text labels, only text labels, and so on.
