I keep checking to see if they have added an update for some very simple, yet necessary tools. Not yet. Only a few things needed for a much more usable program:

A Moveable, Selectable, Crop Function that could be Rotated degree-by-degeree as mentioned above by RockMeister & NG.

A Selection Tool that allows Copy AND Paste functions (for example, where you can copy a block/square of grass in one area, and paste it over some trash in another part of a lawn in the same photo).

A Pencil Tool that allows you to Select A Color from a Pallet OR directly from any part of the photo, and then Draw over the photo or document using your mouse.

Simple, and yet USEFULL. Basically, what I’m asking for is to add simple functions like you’d find in MS Paint to the Preview program. It would appeal to an enormous number of folks like me that HATE the complex, confusing, frustrating professional programs that take college courses to learn how to use. Hahaha

I’m most disappointed in Preview’s lack of a decent crop tool. When I try to crop an image, it should show the dimensions changing dynamically. Also, I should be able to enter a set of dimensions and be given a frame to place over the part of the image that I want to keep. I can’t imagine why Preview doesn’t have simple features like these.

I think this is great the palette looks the same as the one I paid $200 for in Aperture.

Great little piece. If there’s one thing that Preview’s photo editing could use it’s IPhoto’s ability to straighten an image using the similar palette to IPhoto.

Many times you need to quickly show off some shots and when the picture of a sunset over the lake has the water tilted ten degrees to starboard you wish you had a quick fix.

Maybe in the next version of Preview.
