[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 356364, member: 20564"] whoah whoah, hang on there. That way will give you photos appropriate for screen previews, and screen previews only. If it's a photo scanned at 300ppi(dpi) you will be losing a vast amount of detail. There's a better way in Preview. You can crop images in Preview. Go to Tools>Select Tool. Make a selection, and you can then choose to crop it (from tools) Then choose save as and select a new filename. The advantage to doing this - it will keep the true dimensions of the photo, and will give you more accuracy. Taking a screenshot won't allow you adjust the window dimensions. Once you release the click, the photo is taken. Cropping allows you to fine-tune the cropping window accurately. The downside to this, is that you'll then need to reopen the original file to save out the next photo. Alternatively, from the selection tool, you can choose File>New from Selection. This will create a brand new file to be named, leaving the original open, and ready for another selection to be made. Simple ;) [/QUOTE]
