Many of us will already know one of the new features of the native OS X application, Preview, this fantastic tool provides us with many image editing options, today in Soy de Mac, we will see a very curious and fun one that this editor offers us.

It is about the option that allows us to use balloons or snacks, as if it were a comic in our image, this is one of the many options we have with the OS X tool for our Macs.

This curious but interesting function comes standard in the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion and it allows us to edit images in a fun way and in the style of comics in any photo we have on our Mac. Its operation is very basic, it does not have any kind of complication, so you have no excuse to try this tool.

The first thing we have to do is open the image we want to edit by double clicking on it, it will be opened with the Preview tool and then it is very easy to edit it, let's see a small example of how to do it.

In the upper part of the image we have the edit button (in the lower image, the one on the right), we press it and it will show us the toolbar for editing the image (in the lower image, the one on the left) , then we just have to click on the image of the globe or the cloud to add ours and write the text we want:

And that's it, now we just have to save the image and enjoy it, that easy and fast, it also allows us to change the color of the inside of the balloon for which we want, leave the inside transparent and change the color of the profile, among other possibilities.

It would not be just in case, that Apple will implement more options of this type In the Preview tool, the truth is that these details make everything easier and give us the possibility of retouching our images without having to complicate our lives with third-party applications.
