edit a .jpg file in preview I have typed the name of a bird on a .jpg photo. I made a spelling mistake and tried to edit it. I can create a new text box but not edit the original. Is there a way to edit a text box once you have saved the file
No, there is no way to edit the text after saving the image.

You may be able to revert to a previous version of the image, before the misspelt text was written:


Open the image in Preview.app
Select the menu item: File > Revert To > Browse All Versions
