Aperture 3.0.1 - Adjustments missing in Adjustment Tab

Under my Adjustment tab I have a histogram, Presets, Adjustments (brushes) and thats it. No white balance, no exposure ..... everything is missing. Anyone have a clue what could be going on? Tried rebooting but no change.
Everything was fine until I ran some images using Topaz Adjust Filter. Came back to Aperture and everything was missing.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Well they are back. I went into Adjustments, selected quick adjustments, then selected Dodge and everything reappeared.

  • I can't see the adjustments under the Adjustment tab in Aperture. Where is the data?

    Several months ago I dragged photos from Aperture into a Burn Folder on my Desktop. Today I dragged the photos from the Burn Folder on my Desktop into Aperture. My photos are all still edited, but I can't see any of the adjustments I made under the Adjustment Tab in Aperture. Where is that data? How do I get it back?

    I'll cover most of this because I'm too busy to trim it, but be sure to read Léonie's post.

    Can you explain to me the difference between a Preview and the Master image? I checked my preferences and they are set "Photo Preview: Half Size" and "Photo Preview quality: 8 Medium".
    The Master is now known as the Original.  (Apple changed the term.  I don't know why.)  The "Original" is the term Aperture uses to designate the image-format file you imported into your Library.  When you import, Aperture creates a record in its database and creates an Image that you see in the Browser and the Viewer.  Every Image has an Original.
    Aperture creates additional files that it uses.  Among these are a Version, which is a text file containing instructions regarding adjustments and metadata changes you make, some thumbnails, which are image-format files in small dimensions, and a Preview, which is a JPG-format file that is automatically updated to include any adjustments you have made.
    The Original is _never_ altered.  Aperture is a _non-destructive_ photo developing workshop.  "Non-destructive" means that your original files (the ones that Aperture calls "Originals" once you import them) are never altered.
    The Preview is _always_ altered.  It always is updated to include all the adjustments you have made to any Image.
    As you know, you set the JPG parameters (size and quality) for your Previews in Aperture's preferences.
    Does this mean that all the photos I have dragged to Burn Folders and burned to DVDs are lesser quality than my Masters in my Aperture Library? I thought I was backing up the Masters!
    Sorry for the bad news, but the latter is not correct, and the former is.  When you drag an Image from the Browser or the Viewer, Aperture creates a copy of that Image's Preview.  (The User Manual should make this clear.  Currently it is incorrect.)
    Note, too, that your Masters (now "Originals") are never altered.  What you might have wanted to back up were the Images in your Library.  Now -- get ready for the weird part -- those Images do not exist as image-format files.  There is no file that we can access in order to to back-up an Image.  You can either create share-able image-format files from your Images, and back those up, or you can back up your Aperture Library, which, when restored, will give you the opportunity to create share-able image-format files from your Images.
    Aperture is structured this way -- it saves the imported file, untouched, and text instructions telling it how to create your Images on-the-fly -- specifically to save the space you would need to store full-size files of every Image in your Library.  Rather than save "the thing itself", it saves just what it needs to create "the thing itself".  The storage savings are enormous.
    This is why your workflow is (in general): import, make adjustments and add metadata, sort, group, and organize, and export _only when you need an image-format file to share with another program_.  You then share that file, and delete it (because if you need another, you can create it by exporting from Aperture).
    How about when I drag photos from my Aperture library to an external hard drive icon on my desktop? Am I dragging the Masters or Previews? If so, are the Previews lesser quality than the Masters in my Aperture Library?
    When you drag Images from Aperture, you create copies of those Images' Previews.  If you haven't made any adjustments, then they are Previews of your Masters (now called "Originals").  But Previews are JPGs with the dimensions and quality you told Aperture to use, whereas your Originals are whatever format, dimensions, and quality they were when you imported those files.  The quality of an Image's Preview is always less than the quality of that Image's Original.  (I'm using "quality" to mean "amount of useable data".)
    You should test this right now.  Create a new Finder folder.  In Aperture, select an Image with adjustments applied.  Drag it into your newly-created Finder folder.  Then export it's Original into the Finder folder (File ▹ Export ▹ Original).  Then export the Version with whatever settings you want (File ▹ Export ▹ Version).  Compare the three files you just created.
    I think I'm going to be sick! Please tell me it isn't so! I have 1000s of beautiful photos from trips on both DVDs and a Western Digital external hard drive, but I dragged them all from my Aperture Library to either a Burn Folder or a Western Digital icon on my desktop, then I deleted the originals from my Aperture Library. I did this to make room on my Mac Book Pro hard drive. This is how Apple One on One taught me to backup my photos!
    I'm sorry  .
    To back up your Originals, back them up.  They are files.  If they are in your Library, they get backed up when you back up your Library.
    To back up your Images, either make files from them, and back up those files, or ... back up your Library with the knowledge that that way you can create new files from your Images after restoring your Library from your back-up.
    To shrink the size of your Library so that it leaves more space on your system drive:
    - remove un-needed Images
    - relocate some Images' Originals to a second drive (almost always external).  Aperture makes this easy to do.
    Alternative, put your entire Library on a second drive.  Libraries on external drives connected via USB-3 or Thunderbolt work fine.
    In general, a photographer's commitment to an image-management database system (of which Aperture is one) is complete:  it works best when it is all-enclusive.  I recommend against removing Images from your Library either to save space or to archive them.  My personal Library catalogues all my photographs.  Using it I can find, and make available, any photo I've taken and decided to keep.  Once I decide to keep it, it stays -- forever -- as a record in my Library.
    Note that your "Library Set" (I just made that up, but it should exist) includes your Library package (that shows as a file in Finder) and any Referenced Originals that belong to Images in your Library.  You must back up your entire Library Set.
    The Geniuses at the Apple Store generally do great jobs in demanding circumstances.  They are, by need, generalists who must be reasonably adept with a lot of software.  It seems you were (badly) misinformed.  Please recommend this post to the one who coached you, so that s/he makes sure that others aren't similarly misled.

  • How to permanently add adjustments to the adjustment tab...

    I want to add the "Straighten" to the "Adjustments" tab in Aperture 3.0. I read how to do this in "Aperture Help," and did it, but, when I click on a different picture, it disappears. How do I add it permanently?

    You should be able do this as follows:
    1 - Select an image that does not have the straighten adjustment applied yet
    2 - Select 'Straighten' under the Adjustments drop-down to place in the pane
    3 - Use the Actions menu (cog wheel) in the Straighten adjustment section and select 'Add to default set' option
    This should add the Straighten adjustment to the default adjustments displayed for all pictures.
    It works on my system, so that is all I have to verify. There may be other issues going on if you can't do this on your system if running AP3.
    Good luck.

  • Aperture 3.0.3 Adjustments & Cropping Tool Bugs

    I don't know if 3.0.3 actually did any good, but it did some harm for sure. Many times when I go to make adjustments, the entire adjustment pane is blank. Restarting Aperture brings it back, but this is rather annoying since it never happened before. Also, the crop tool has bugs. Sometimes when I crop an image, the entire image disappears from my project. Again, when I restart Aperture the image comes back. Another issue I'm having with crop is if I set it to say 8x10 and pull on a corner, it allows free movement like "custom" used to, and will not stay 8x10. At the same time, "custom" only pulls symmetrically and does not allow custom cropping unless I enter numerical values. Now that I've just shot a large family reunion and have hundreds of images to process, this is a real PITA. Thanks again Apple for a real half-assed update.

    Thank God experienced users are having this problem! I have only just upgraded from iPhoto straight to Aperture 3 in the last fortnight and I thought I was doing something wrong with the crop function?! Also why isn't there a 'done' or 'apply' button for crop??? Is simply closing the crop box the applying?
    Totally Confused Newbie
    PS also app goes into a loop when I try to import from iPhoto, won't let me stop import or quit or even quit Aperture.
    PPS why are a lot of my imported (from installation I automatically imported my iPhoto library) pics upside down???
    not happy

  • TS2932 problems with aperture 3.4.3  adjustments not working on latest photos upload to iPhoto library

    I recently uploaded some raw photos taken with a nikon D40x to my iPhoto library.  Did some cropping and adjustments in iPhoto.  Next I opened that library and that project in Aperture, and tried to do some furter adjusting.  Pictures became distorted.  At first they looked liked fine but as soon as I tried to do adjustments the pictures darkened, had less definition and looked hazy.  I tried to reprocess with no success.
    I then performed the apple check on my photot using the > filter feature > add rule > "filter type" is "raw", > adjustments "do not include"  "raw decode version 3".  The only photos in my entire iPhoto library that do not meet those criteria are the new pictures in question. I do not know what to do.

    Not sure of the meaning, but you should launch Aperture while holding down alt/cmd. Use the repair options starting at the top and checking Aperture after each one.

  • Aperture 3 loses my adjustments

    I spent a long while editing my photos to only find out that when I restart Aperture 3 the adjustments are gone!?! This seems to be a new bug in a long long long line of bugs for Aperture 3. I have been using Aperture 3 for about a month and this is the first time I have lost all my adjustments, does anyone have a suggestion on how to get them back? If not Aperture 3 is rendered useless to me.

    Hey arb,
    Thanks for the offer. This is new to me too, it just started happening the images shows the adjustment icon as if changes have been made and for a split second when the image preview loads you see the adjustments but then the image loads and the adjustments are gone both from the image and the adjustment tab.
    As per your questions:
    -The problem is happing with every type of image, both RAWs from my D300, Medium format negs, 35mm slides etc. (scans come from Epson V750)
    -Yes I have the vault backed up but I have not restored it yet as I will loose my most current project. (where the problem began)
    -Yes I have repaired my library and it did nothing.
    Any thoughts?
    Mike:)

  • In iphoto 11 the copy and past buttons to the adjustment tab are gone

    In iphoto 11 the copy and past buttons to the adjustment tab are gone. I thought this was a cool feature. They still work when you click alt-c or alt-v. Did anyone notice this?

    I've noticed too and I don't like it! I tried to alt-c like you said and when I do that, it just takes me to the crop. It won't allow me to copy the adjustments! Is there any way around this??

  • Why are there only three adjustment tabs in PSE 12?

    Hi.
    I just purchased PSE 12 on seeing the georgeous features in Camera Raw 8. Apart from the major pain in getting PSE installed on my machine... I am pretty surprised to see that there are only three adjustment tabs on my Camera Raw dialog and also several tools missing. It is a fresh install on a Windows 8.1 Pro machine, CR just updated to 8.3. I tried it with various DNGs from supported cameras.
    Are features like tone curve and the ability to only select certain areas of the pictures not available for PSE customers???
    Kind regards,
    A. Lange

  • Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

    Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

    You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.

  • Adjustment Tab is greyed ...how?

    The 'Adjustment' tab under 'Cycle Count Entries' for a couple of organizations are greyed out. For most other inventory organizations, it is clickable;navigable.
    Is this any setup issue? in Org setup? in cycle count setup?
    pls. advise.

    where exactly is the 'Display System Qty' flag ? which screen? I checked the Inventory>Counting>Cycle Counting>Cycle Counts , which displays all the cycle counts that are defined already. I click on 'Counts' to get to the 'Cycle Count Entries' form for that particular cycle count.
    can't locate the flag though. Can you pls give me more detail on that?
    thx so much.
