You say to open the Shapes menu then Magnify, but magnifying closes the Shapes menu. So your instructions rely on reading beyond the steps and inferring what you meant piecemeal. That's a really difficult way to follow instructions when we're not already as familiar with the app as you are. The point of instructions is based on someone not having to infer missing steps, and at worst any pre-knowledge requirements should be stated before any steps are made. | |

Please refer to sentence two in the preamble to the steps above which says "Refer to the Preview User Guide for help locating the tools listed below." It's linked to support.apple.com/guide/preview/annotate-an-image-prvw1501/mac. I just checked and it appears that link is working. | |
| Feb 2, 2023 at 16:44 | comment | added | SteveExdia | You appear to be missing a step or more, and I'm saying this as someone new to editing in Preview (in Monterey, anyway). Step 2 and 3 leave me hanging... I opened the Shapes menu, so then what do I select from there? Any shape? It seems I'm supposed to infer from later reading what you mean. Also, not seeing a "Loupe tool". Is this part of the Selection Tools? The Lasso Selection? That's a different menu than Shapes. When I write instructions, I write steps clearly without skipping or requiring inferring from the user. Please update. I'm having to guess and trial and error what you mean. | |
