    Preview Keyboard bug?

    I opened up preview today to scan some documents on my 15 Pro. I noticed when renaming the file that despite my keyboard being set to haptic only it made the annoying clicky sounds. No other text boxes have done this so far. I double checked my keyboard settings too and they are still haptic...

    Universal Preview default settings?

    Is there a way to adjust the default settings in the new Preview app? I hate the auto shutter feature being the default setting. Every time I go to scan a document I have to discard a bunch of skewed images partially blocked by my hand. Other question why can't I paste a file name while...

    Getting Tahoe Preview to open pdfs as tabs?

    The title says it all: it seems that the Preview app has been changed so that it always opens pdfs as new windows. For my work, I sometimes have to have dozens of pdfs open. Having to go to click "merge windows" every single time is extremely annoying, making this "update" entirely...

    Hi everyone, I setup an old MacBook Pro 2011 with Mavericks now three times and always run into somewhat of the same error, that I cannot solve.

    Still on the fence about Liquid Glass. Preview app thoughts.

    After spending some time with the new betas, I have to say — I’m still quite skeptical about the new Liquid Glass design language. Sure, the effects are nice in isolation. I like how menus and popups respond to touch with depth and a sense of fluidity. But applying Liquid Glass everywhere feels...

    Adjusting colour curves per channel

    Did macOS Sonoma remove the feature of per-channel adjustment in Preview? Is there any way to bring it back?

    Sonoma changed Preview default save location to folder "printing.22832.3" which I can't find nor change as the default

    I do a lot of work in my office annotating and attaching signatures to faxes as PDFs in Preview. I'd long ago set the Downloads folder as my default for saving as that fit my workflow well. Now Preview saves edited pdfs into Printing.22832.3 that I can't even find in Finder. When I remember...

    Can't view DNG files either in Preview or with Quick Look

    I converted some image files to DNG format using Lightroom. macOS Monterey can't open these files, either in Preview or using Quick Look. I have tried both lossy and lossless DNG conversion, without success.

    Preview and Monterey not playing nicely

    On my 2017 iMac, I migrated from Mojave to Monterey, now on v12.4. Since migrating I've had trouble with opening large numbers (>30 or so) of images, almost regardless of the file sizes. Two issues: 1- I previously opened all images in a folder by Cmd-A to select them, then Cmd-O, then a...

    PDFs and Preview — why so blurry?

    PDFs opened in the Preview app for Mac OS Mojave (10.14.0) are blurry. It's most visible when looking at text but lines and other graphics are blurry as well and it's worse the more you zoom out. I'm on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014). Being able to render PDFs clearly is just such a...
