Removed Feature: Preview Tools Show Colors

I'm a little bummed. One of my most often-used features is now missing from Preview.
While I'm coding CSS, I frequently use a screen snapshot of a website in progress, open it in Preview, and then select Tools > Show Colors to display the Apple color palette. I had grown accustomed to sampling colors using this tool, then adding them to the global color palette, which I am then able to reference in my other design programs.
For some reason, this function has been removed in Snow Leopard. I can't figure out for the life of me why this feature would need to be removed.
It was bad enough that the Apple color palette did not support web colors in HEX format. I had to use a 3rd party plugin for this functionality. But it matters not, since now it appears the only option is to open these snapshots in Photoshop just to grab a simple HEX code for a color.
Talk about killing a mosquito with a sledgehammer.
If I'm missing something, will someone please enlighten me? I've poked around in the custom menu items, just to make sure that this function wasn't simply tucked elsewhere. I can't find it. one might even think that the built-in DigitalColor Meter utility might serve this purpose, but sadly, it does not.
Is there an easier way to grab a HEX code from a snapshot?
Thanks a million, Apple.

Thanks, micp. That's actually the plugin I've been using for a while. But the only way to invoke this tool in Preview is to select Tools > Fonts and then select the Colors tool.
Leopard's version of Preview had this function in the toolbar, with a convenient keyboard shortcut (Command + Shift + C ).
Still love the Hex Color Picker by Waffle Software. I'd be lost without it. Just wish it was easier to pull up that menu item.

How do you "image correction" in PREVIEW in a macbook pro? I have an iBook G4 that gives it as an option in the tools drop down window.

From preview:
Tools-> Adjust Color-> Auto Levels
Or you can import the image into iPhoto:

How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer?? I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it. There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing. How do I get rid of it? Cannot select it. Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it. The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it. I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

Hey needadobehelp10,
Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
Is this really you wish for?
Please let me know.

Add web link to a PDF in preview

Hello Mac World,
I have a MacBook Air OSX 10.9.2
I cannot seem to find how to add a working web-link to my PDF in preview. I have looked in Preview <tools>,<annotate> and there is no LINK button
Please help me to know if I need to buy a new program or if I'm just missing something here... Ps.. it's not in View either.
Thank you for your help,
sunshine_415

Open Preview, and check Help > Annotate a PDF. It describes such things as adding a text bubble, etc.
There is no explicit way to add a link in Preview. Preview is, after all, primarily a viewer with a few markup tools.
I happen to use a product called PDFPen which is available in the App Store to mark up PDFs.
I have no financial interest in PDFPen. I am a reasonably satisifed customer.

Acrobat X Pro ouput preview issue

I have recently upgraded Acrobat from version 9 to 10. I frequently use the separations preview in the Output Preview tool to check the black separations on PDF files I receive for printing. When I try to click the black separation on and off again, I have to hold down on the mouse button for about half a second otherwise the separation checkbox doesn't toggle. It's not the end of the world but a pain when I have to check many multiple page PDF files. It didn't have this problem with the previous version 9. Has anyone else noticed this? I was wondering if it's an Acrobat bug or just an issue with my installation.

Thanks for checking that Steve. After poking around I tried changing the Double-Click speed in the Mouse preferences to as fast as it will go and it seems to make a big difference when toggling a separation on and off and back on again. So I'm happy.

Acrobat 7 Professional Output Preview Preferences

I think the new "Output Preview" tool in Acrobat 7 Professional is GREAT! Especially the ability to check "Total Ink Coverage".
But, what I would like to see is the ability to set a preference for this tool. Seems it always defaults to 280. In our shop we are perfectly able to handle 320, so it would be nice to set it up to that instead.
The tool seems a wee bit buggy when switching totals sometimes.
And could Adobe also add this "Total Ink Feature" to inDesign CS as well.

Agreed again. I work for a newsprint publisher, and it's a pain to have to reset 280 to 240 over and over again for each page or file opened. Either a way to remember last setting or reset the default would be much appreciated.

Why is preview asking me for an owner password when I want to save a PDF document to my computer?

Every time I have a PDF document opened in preview and want to save it to my computer I'm asked for an owner password. However, my computer password does not work. These are not documents sent from some crazy source...I've sent them to myself from an online contract site for my business. I'm so frustrated!! Please help!
Thanks!

You shold post exactly what the message is.
It is possible that the documents are protected against modification. Open one of the documents in Preview, Tools > Show Inspector (if it's not already displayed). In the Inspector window, go to the Encryption tab. What does it say under Permissions?

Why does iChat video preview show a mirror image of the webcam picture?

When I open video preview in iChat on my iMac OS X 10.4.11, the video image I see from my Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 webcam is a mirror image of what the camera is pointing at(ie printed material can't be read cause it's backwards as in a mirror.)
Is this a function of iChat or of the webcam? And, can it be corrected so a true video image appears instead of the mirror image?

Hello Oceanbeach9
iChat's picture-in-picture and Snapshot is "mirrored" by design.
We are so accustomed to seeing ourselves in the mirror that it looks strange the other way. Your Chat friends and movie clips are normal. Only the preview is mirror-image.
If you plan to post or email a snapshot image, you can change individual snapshots made with iChat by opening the file with Preview and using the Preview > Tools > Flip Horizontal menu command.
You can add iGlasses 2 software iF you really want to change your iSight's image.

Sapscript modification not displaying in invoice print preview

Hi everyone,
I have created a new sapscript and assigned it as a routine to an output type in IMG. The testing part went fine and print preview was OK both through SE71 form preview tool and VF03 (billing document). However I noticed I had to make some changes to the text on the form (layout corrections) so, I went back to my form in SE71, did the changes and this time I'm able to see the modifications within the print preview tool of SE71 but can't see anything while launching print preview in VF03, like I hadn't corrected anything !
It seems that there's somehow a connection missing somewhere between my newly modified sapscript form and the actual print output of the corresponding billing document associated to it via the output type, but I can't figure out which one!!
Any hints / help would be higlhy appreciated !
Many thanks

Hi,
Did you activate the form after making the changes? If you don't activate, it will look fine in SE71 but the application will use the older actvated form.
Also, if the form exists in more than one language, check that you updated the one with the correct language key.
Regards,
Aidan

Resizing an image in Preview

When I view some of my pictures in Preview they are way too big. I know I can zoom out or zoom to fit or change the size int the Scale window, but I want to make the size change permanent. Isn't there a way to do this?

These are instructions from Preview in Lion, but I'm sure they're similar in 10.4.
Open an image in Preview/Tools/Adjust Size. You should "Save As" and keep the originals. Once they are resized, you can not enlarge them agian without losing quality. 1024x768 pixels is a good overall size for viewing on the computer and emailing.

Camera raw 8.6 does not have new preview features

Hi, I have just discovered that my version of Camera raw does not have the new preview features (the "Y" split) down the right corner.
I have seen in some tutorial video that the new preview tool look like this,
but my CR 8.6 still has the old preview tool like this,
I am not sure why that is, I am running CR 8.6 on a mac with Photoshop CS6, is the new preview feature only available for CC?
Thank.

Yes, that is correct that photoshop cs6 and camera raw do not get the new features, just updated camera support.

Acrobat ClearScan + Preview.app

Hello all,
I am using Adobe Acrobat X to vectorize characters in scanned books with Adobe's ClearScan technology which produces a custom font set for each PDF.
ClearScanned PDFs are greatly beautiful and light, and Preview.app can open them properly. However, when I save the PDFs after putting some comments in them, the text of PDFs become non-searchble.
Does anyone know how to avoid this problem?

Hi Akira,
I do have the same problem and did some research through various message boards. Apparently Apple's Preview viewer deletes the non-system font information that is put in the PDF file by Acrobat while doing a 'Clearscan'. So as soon as you save the file using Preview, you unknowingly delete all the information on the text 'behind' the visible characters. This is a huge issue for me as I highlight through a lot of PDF documents which I receive from various sources and many of the older documents are scanned using Acrobat's Clearscan feature to restore smooth fonts and drastically reduce the size of the documents.
One solution is to stop using Apple's Preview tool and use another tool. Some have mentioned that Skim provides annotations in a different file without affecting the source PDF. Another solution if you have access to Acrobat (for which there is a 30 day trial option) is to save the document to a TIFF image file and then re-OCR the file using the 'retain image' option. The disadvantage is that this file will be much bigger and slower to scroll if you want reasonably smooth text. If you do this, you should set the properties for output to TIFF and convert to PDF options to use 600dpi (or at least 300dpi) and use lossless compression on images so that your text stays nice looking. If you ensure that your TIFF output is in black-and-white the file shouldn't be ridiculously large.
Hopefully they will fix that problem with Preview soon. The improvements made to the highlighting feature of Preview made an essential tool for my daily work and that of many other academics.
