CHAPTER 14 APPLE APPS INCLUDED WITH LEOPARD<br />

Preview<br />

Preview (Figure 14-7) is to PDF and image files as QuickTime Player is to video. It provides an<br />

excellent alternative to Adobe’s Acrobat Reader for viewing PDF files, complete with support for<br />

performing text searches, copying and pasting text from a PDF, viewing encrypted PDFs, creating<br />

bookmarks, page previews, and annotation capabilities. Beyond that, it’s a multiformat<br />

image viewer allowing you to quickly open a wide range of image formats.<br />

Besides viewing images, Preview also has the ability to do some minor image editing, including<br />

image color adjustments, cropping, resizing, and saving in an array of image file formats.<br />

Photo Booth<br />

Photo Booth is a fairly silly yet highly entertaining application that takes advantage of the iSight<br />

camera that is attached to most new <strong>Mac</strong>s (except <strong>Mac</strong> Pros and <strong>Mac</strong> minis). When you launch<br />

Photo Booth, it will automatically fire up the camera built into your computer and allow you to<br />

capture photos or videos.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
