In this video Dylan Stewart, a.k.a. the MacWhisperer, shows how to use the free Apple tool "Preview" to easily edit image files.

It works with JPEGs, PNG's, and many other file types. By using Preview you can edit, crop, markup, do basic image and color adjustment, resize and even remove the background of your image files.

You will learn how to open files into preview, all the basic tools, and also how to use the tools in the markup toolbar to select files, remove backgrounds, use the sketch and the drawing tools, add shapes, and much much more.

This is the first in a series of videos showing how to properly use Preview, future videos will focus on using Preview and other markup tools on your iPhone, and using Preview with PDFs.
