How to Annotate Images in Preview [Mac OS X Leopard]

Mac OS X Leopard only: One of the built-in Mac utilities that got
the most feature additions in Leopard—albeit pretty
quietly—is Preview, the PDF and image viewer. We've already
covered how you can do more with Preview in Leopard,
but Mac OS X Hints points out another good one: image annotation. Add
arrows and notes, or circle and outline areas of an image in Preview
using the Annotation menu. (In Preview's View menu choose Customize
Toolbar, then drag the Annotate menu onto the toolbar.) Then, when
you're editing a non-PDF image in Preview, just select your annotation,
and click and drag on the image itself. Handy, and no third-party
software required.
