Macbook Air Preview Issue with Cropping, Changing JPEG size and Then Saving

I just bought a Macbook Air with OS 10.7.3 and the Preview menu has really changed from my old Macbook. In Preview I can no longer "save as" and change the size of a jpeg on the sliding scale as I did on my old Macbook. How can I crop, resize & save as.... in the new Preview? It seems to save automatically and I can't manually change the size to what I want and "save as".

I usually resize jpegs in a Batch for uploading to the web but sometimes individual jpegs still need more cropping and resizing to get them down to the size I want.....so I would use the sliding scale in Preview.,,,,,,,,,,, Thanks for any input. Much appreciated.

Ok so it's a pain in the butt but I had the same problem.

A easy work around. Open the original file without resizing in...iphoto.

In iPhoto, export the image at the size you want back to the folder in which it came

I recommend making a dupkicate first so as to keep the original...but im sure you already knew that

Hope this helps as I also struggled with this

I'd just like to report that I recently upgraded my system software to 10.9.2, and the functionality that I had lost, that I was asking about in this thread, has been restored!

A big THANK YOU to Apple. It's really important to have this in Preview.
