Able to edit text in Preview?

After the image has already been edited and saved using Preview - how can I move text and correct a spelling mistake?

Or is the text now "locked"?

I cannot seem to select and edit the text!

Thanks for any help.

Once you save a document as an image you can no longer edit the text.

You're welcome. FWIW, you can save an image as a PDF in Preview. Once you do that you can add annotations and be able to edit them as long as you continue to save the document as a PDF. If you're certain all the edits are correct you can always save it as an image again.
