Select what you want, use the Crop command from the Tools menu and you're done with it. -- Favorite yoga position: Rosh hashavasana, the high holy pose Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

I just do crop and then save. Same here. Works beautifully. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

It's always easy to blame others for what they are doing, and it's easy for you to always write in oppossion to any other suggestions. - You seem to think that everything that comes from Apple is simply perfect, but it isn't. And Preview is among the worst. I can guarantee you that I'm not the only one who has problems with that app, and I can also guarantee you that I'll keep on telling that in any case! - No matter what you're thinking or not. And if you were the almighty allknowing Apple guru, - why don't you then come up with a solution instead of insulting others about their postings? - Once in a while it would be better that you used your brain _bnefore_ writing!

Rotation yes, but surely not cropping - not even a selection followed by a copy&paste into another app is lossless!

Did you actually ask for help about this at any point? Certainly not in this thread. You made a general statement that Preview cannot save cropped images and told the OP that he needed to look elsewhere for this capability. > You seem to think that everything that comes from Apple is simply > perfect, but it isn't. I absolutely no not think anything of the sort and have no idea why you would come to that conclusion. > And Preview is among the worst. I can guarantee you that > I'm not the only one who has problems with that app, and I can also > guarantee you that I'll keep on telling that in any case! - No matter > what you're thinking or not. Have you noticed that a bunch people have posted here that they're able to save after cropping in Preview, on various Mac OS versions from Tiger through Snow Leopard? How many have posted to say they can't save after cropping? No one but you. > And if you were the almighty allknowing Apple guru, - why don't you then > come up with a solution instead of insulting others about their > postings? I posted several suggestions in the very post you responded to. What more do you expect me or anyone else to do from a distance, especially when you never even asked for help in the first place? You simply said it's impossible. If it works for everyone but you, it's certainly possible and certainly can be fixed. > Once in a while it would be better that you used your brain > _bnefore_ writing! Pot. Kettle.
