You can use the editing tools in the Markup toolbar to mark up an image file, providing feedback or pointing out something you want to remember.
If the image is on a page in a PDF file and you want to comment on only the image, you can extract the image as a separate image file. See Extract a PDF page as an image for instructions.
If you only want to comment on part of an image that you've opened in Preview, you can select part of it, choose Edit > Copy to copy just that part, then choose File > New from Clipboard to create a new file. You can also crop the image to remove areas that you don't want.
Note: If you annotate an image file, you can't edit, move, or delete the annotations after you save the image. If you think you'll need to change annotations later, you can convert the image file to a PDF file, then add annotations to the PDF.
In the Preview app on your Mac, click the Show Markup Toolbar button (if the Markup toolbar isn't showing).
Use the tools in the toolbar to mark up the image (or use the Touch Bar).
