Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

My mac has just been updated from OS X Mountain lion to Mavricks and the cropping tool on Preview is no longer available. How do I get it back? It is the fastest, most conveinent, most used tool for me....

This article doesn't help with this problem. I just want to crop images with preview as I always have and now with Maveriks, it won't allow that to happen.

Hi vindeljay, do you see cross-hairs + when you mouse over the pic in question?

When you do just click & hold then drag this will give you the dotted outline.

To which you can now apply crop via Preview>Tool>Crop or ⌘K.
