Q: Preview slow & Adjust Size greyed out

Preview has started running slow and I can't adjust the size of a jpeg file - Adjust Size is greyed out. I'm running OS10.9.1 on a MacBook Air.  Never had this before.  Any ideas please?

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

    Hi Linc

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Tried Quit and Relaunch but still no joy: the problem persists. Any more thoughts.

    Cheers

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

     

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

     

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

     

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

     

    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

    View ▹ Show Log List

    from the menu bar.

     

    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
