The actual error log is larger, but I couldn't post it all due to the character limit restriction

Does it crash in a new user account?

another user

I have only 1 user so, can't test it for another user. I can create a new user, but just wanna be sure if this is gonna work or not.
Thanks.

You could try a new Preview plist file, but if it doesn't fix it, the new user account is the next test.

HD/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist

Place that file on your Desktop, then go into Preview. That will create a new file set to defaults, and free of bugs. If your current one has no bugs, then this won't help, but it's the way to find that out.

Preview crashing

I have the same problem, Preview crashes when I try to open an image, or make a screen shot from inside the application.

I have removed all the pref files and I have tried a second user account, it still crashes.
