In Preview, I want to change just the width of an image by dragging the points/dots surrounding the image on the sides, with my mouse. But instead of just the width changing, the entire image gets changed, both height and width. This started happening when I upgraded to Mavericks. How can I control the dragging feature in Previews again? Being able to adjust just the width or just the height separately? Thanks.

Sadly, it is not possible to change the font used by Preview for Notes - this is denoted by Apple an 'UnEditable'.
This thread on the Apple forums (which I can't take credit for) provides a couple of work arounds such as using Annotations instead of notes (as these are editable) or post-editing comments in Adobe Acrobat Reader XI, but not an actual solution to this problem.
As you probably know the Preview does not have the short cut for that function.
Here is the list of shortcuts that Preview does has.
And many other OS applications shortcuts.

in Preview with the picture open: when it fills the window completely, click on it with CMD - (command plus the minus sign). this will give you manipulation space. then place the mouse pointer inside the picture, a + sign appears, drag this to where you want to start, a blue drag line appears, place it around the picture completely; then when you want to the picture smaller drag that side, and click Tools->Crop in the menubar of Preview.
