Adjusted photos in full screen mode show digital garble over image

Since installing iPhoto08 viewing photos in full screen mode is very disappointing and frustrating. Some images will appear with this (for lack of a better term) digital garble over half or the full photo. Sometimes by switching to the next or previous image it will correct itself. It seems to happen only with photos I've adjusted. This never happened with iPhoto6 that I upgraded from. These photos are all 8 mpix, my mac is a G5 2.0 with 2 GB RAM. I've also noticed that the over all perfomance of adjusting the photos is very slow as well. I posted the image here www.capacitornetwork.com/iPhotoDigitalGarble.jpg. Compare the left and right halves (The photo was originally shot B&W). Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you checked the HD with Disk Utility to see if it needs repairs? Not disk permissions but the disk itself. Also delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. A corrupt preference file has been known to cause some strange problems. It's worth a try.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Hidden photos in full screen mode.

Hey guyz, I think I need a little help here.When I see a photo in the full screen mode and try to navigate through the photos of a specific event using the arrows left n' right I notice that many photos are not shown and are skipped.I can't figure out what's going on.Searched on the web for any possible answers but found nothing.Am I the only one that's happening to?It's really annoying.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are the photos just skipped or is there a blank screen of some sort when you get to those photos? What do you see or not see?

IPhoto 11 low resolution photo in full screen mode

In the 09 version a low resolution picture is shown full on the screen, but can be a little bit blurry.
In the 11 version the low resolution picture is shown small. How can we change that?

I mean that a low resolution picture is shown as a small picture and can not be viewed as a large picture. In the old version a low or high resolution was shown the same. If it was a low resolution picture it would be a bit more blur. Now the picture is small and a higher resolution picture is shown full screen.
Is this better?

Aperture got stuck while editing a photo in full screen mode and doesn't respond to commands

How do I stop Aperture when it is completely stuck and will not even respond to alt-cmd-esc?

then use option + command Delete to force quit Aperture.
Force quitting is to be avoided if possible, since it can corrupt the Aperture Library and the User preferences file or other settings.
If Aperture seems to be stuck and unresponsive, quite often it is a deadlock in the graphical user interface, but the application itself still may respond to the "Terminate" signal, send by other processes:
Select the Aperture Dock icon, ctrl-click and select "Quit!
Select "Restart" from the  Apple-menu.
Or use the Terminal to send a Terminate-Signal:
Launch "Activity Monitor" (from Applications > Utilities) and find the Process ID of Aperture (PID, in the first column)
Open a Terminal and type in:
kill -TERM Aperture's PID
Only if all these safer measures don't work, then use Force Quit on a database program like Aperture, but be prepared to run an "Aperture Library First Aid" afterwards, if you see signs of a corrupted library.

Aperture in full screen mode seems to crash MacBook Pro with Retina

To anyone who has an idea;
I have a brand new (couple months old) 15" MacBook Pro w Retina (16GB RAM, 2.3GHz i7) and I can repeatedly crash it just by running Aperture in a full screen mode and flipping through the photos (I have 21000+ photos and I was cleaning them so it required a lot of flipping back and forth, deleting but no editing). It appears as if it was running out of RAM and not releasing it back. I have all the latest updates installed (always) and I know this is not related to my machine since within the first week of having it I noticed a dent on my screen and Apple sent me a brand new machine. I could replicate this behaviour on both machines.
To mitigate the restarts, I use FreeMemory Pro app set at "freeing" RAM once it drops to 4GB but if I push the Aperture too fast (and I do not mean major editing but just simply going through many photos in full screen mode, viewing them), I still crash it.
I was wondering if there is anyone else with something similar and if you have any tips. I have reported it to Apple.

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same hard- and software configuration like you, Gordito73 - up to date of course as well. Aperture continues to crash after it really seams to run out of memory while editing lots of photos with many different effects. -.-

Full Screen Mode has letterbox effect

Hopefully this is an easy one and I am just missing something, but when I open a photo in full screen mode it does not fill the entire screen. Instead, there is a title bar on top, an editing bar on the bottom and a fairly large blank area on either side that frames the photo like a letterbox effect on TV.
What am I doing wrong? (In case it matters, the camera used was a Nikon D40.) In the past with iPhoto 09 these photos would fill the entire screen of my MacBook Pro, now, not so much. (My desktop wallpaper, for example, is a photo taken with the same camera, and it fills the entire area of my MBP's screen; how can I get that same effect when I open a photo in iPhoto '11?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone with any ideas, please reply.

Slow processing in full screen mode

Hi All
I recently upgraded my camera to an EOS 5d mk 2. I take photos in full RAW, so resulting images are around 26 MB.I then import these as managed reference files into Aperture.
No issue with import to Aperture or image quality.
However, when viewing the photos in full screen mode (to rank / edit etc), they take a long time to properly open / load (about 20 seconds each.) Each time I re-open Aperture, each image needs to be re-loaded in full screen size - which can become very time consuming. Edits are equally very slow to process.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions how to manage this and avoid the time lag (other than downgrading to smaller image sizes). For example...
- I currently have 2GB of memory and a 128 mb graphics card. Do I need to upgrade to handle such large images?
- Can I reset a preference to avoid having to reload the full size image every time I open Aperture?
- How can I speed up editing speed (nothing too fancy done here - I note from other posts the "7 deadly edits" that can cause processing to slow up)
Any ideas gratefully received!!!
Many thanks
Paul

I don't understand whether you have a Referenced-Masters Library or a Managed-Masters Library. Drives slow as they fill and with a Managed-Masters Library sooner or later the internal drive will become overfilled. I recommend a Referenced-Masters Library with Masters on an external drive and the Aperture Library on the internal drive.
iMacs, laptops and Minis are by definition limiting to heavy Aperture usage, so work carefully to optimize setup and workflow.
First is to max the RAM and make sure the hard drive stays less than 70% full. Restart the iMac prior to a major Aperture session and only have Aperture open. You should also investigate to see if a substantially more powerful video card is available at reasonable price.
Set Preview size to be exactly screen size and build Previews manually when the box is otherwise not being aggressively used.

PS CS6, Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar, Zoom, Brush, Auto Pan

There seems to be a functionality that was lost (or I can't find it) in CS6 that was in earlier versions. When I am In Full Screen Mode with Menu and the image I am editing is zoomed in, I used to be able to shift+click my brush to extend a line. That line would automatically reposition the image when I got to the edge of the screen. Does anyone know if that functionality is gone or do I need to turn "something on”?
1. I open a file
2. I ender Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar
3. I enlarge the photo so that its boundaries are beyond the edge of the screen
4. I enter mask mode (doesn't matter what mode)
5. With my brush tool I start to paint a line by holding the "shift" key and "left-click"
6. I get to the edge of the screen
* this is where PS would reposition the image automatically and I could keep painting my line

Which operating system are you using?

Aperture 3 - Full screen mode "stuck"

Apologies if this subject is being discussed elsewhere; all I've found are a few orphaned threads with no answers.
The problem: when I toggle into full-screen mode (for, say a single image) I cannot exit. The only way to get out of it is to quit Aperture.
This has persisted for a few weeks now and is making the program almost unusable. Any thoughts/advice?
Thank you,
David

Trashing the prefs worked like a charm. Thanks for the quick and almost painless solution.

"Fit to Screen" while in full screen mode - image fits behind palettes.

Is there a way to "fit to screen" when in full screen mode and NOT have my image go behind my open palettes (Layers, etc.)? I am hoping there's a way for me to hit command zero and have my image fit perfectly between palettes. Every time I hit command zero I have to readjust my image or zoom out so I can see the whole thing. (Photoshop CS5)

Not that I know of. I address this problem two way. I add a second display an move the Photoshop Pallets I use the most out of Photoshop's main window onto the second display docked to each other and open expanded. The Palettes I do not use often I dock to Photoshop Main windows right side collapsed. Even if you do a view actual pixel Photoshop only zoom the image area to all the space between the docked tools palette on the left and the collapse docked palettes on the right. The pallet are only over the image window when you expand one open to use it. If you view the following screen capture in a new tab or window you can scale it to its actual size and scroll around over it. My TwoScreen workspace....

How to show up "Photo Tour Bar" in full screen mode under Aperture 2?

HELLO,
Mine is a MBA with Aperture 2.
I am unable to show up the photo tour bar in full screen mode>
What should I do to get the photo tour bar on the top of my full screen mode?
Camera Canon 40D.

Hi 153957,
Thanks for the response.
I could see the film strip on the bottom ok in Browser plus viewer mode.
When I go to viewer screen the full screen mode and I could not see the Photo tool bar-sorry I spelt it "Tour" in my question.
Now I realised that the Photo Tool bar only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen.
However in full screen mode I am unable to bring my inspector! Is that possible?

Iphoto 09 8.1.2 stopped showing photos in full screen

I have the above-mentioned version on both my MAC and my MACBookPro. I have never had a problem with either. Suddenly, the version on my MACBookPro (which is using OS X 10.6.8) stopped showing my pics in the full screen mode. All I get, when double clicking a thumbnail, all of which show up great, is a black screen. I can see the thumbnails above the black screen, and I can even play the pics in a slide-show.
I have tried everything from rebuilding the library to creating a new library, to completely deleting both IPhoto Application and Library, going to my MAC, copying that version of IPhoto and it's library onto a disc and loading that onto my Pro. NOTHING WORKS! I have tried everything I've seen on the web, You-Tube, and of course the Apple Support, which is usually the worst of the lot in terms of supplying information. I have searched Google to no avail. Apple seems to all but have foresaken this version, in favor of it's new ILife program, IPhoto 11, which I see is also having major difficulties.
Is there no one out there who has the slightest idea why this program, only on my Pro, is doing this? I just looked at my pics again on my MAC and that sucker is working like a charm. I don't even see a good IPhoto alternative out there to download.
HELP!

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Can't see TV shows purchased from Music Store in Full Screen Mode

Prior to the release of iTunes 7.0, I had been purchasing episodes of LOST from the iTunes Music Store and watching the episodes on my Mac in Full Screen viewing mode.
Since downloading iTunes 7.0, I have been unable to watch any television shows purchased from the Music Store from that date forward in Full Screen mode. When I select iTunes>View>Full Screen I can hear the audio, but I cannot see the image. Instead, my monitor goes totally black. If I select iTunes>View>Fit to Screen, I am able to see the video, however, the video does not fill up my screen...instead, I have about two inches of desktop showing on either side of the image. Does anyone know how to solve this problem so that I can once again watch purchased television shows in Full Screen mode?
By the way, I am now running iTunes 7.0.2.
Power Mac G4 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Alan, I just checked and I don't see a section for TV shows in the Canadian store. As the initial deal was made with ABC, I doubt that there is any content available yet for you. I do see the pixar section and the music video section, however.
Similarly, a visit to the Apple Canada site shows no mention of being able to download TV shows.
As with the music, it is going to take a separate lisence to bring TV content to each store. If and when that is going to happen, no one around here would be able to say.

Reader XI: how to load multiple files so that I can show them in one instance of full screen mode?

It is possible to show a pdf file in full screen mode in acrobat reader XI (windows).
It is indicated that this is also possible with multiple files.
I do not understand how to accomplish this; How can I load more than one file to show in the full screen mode?
can anyone explain this to me?
Thanks in advance!

IPhoto 11: How to view "all photos" while in full screen mode

In iPhoto, when it's not in full screen mode, if you click photos in the sidebar (under Library), you get a nice view of ALL your photos, and you have the option to sort them by event. When you go from this view straight to full screen mode, it stays this way, which in my case is particularly useful since I like to move photos around from event to event. However, staying in full screen mode, as soon as I click an any other of the menus at the bottom (events, faces, places, albums, projects), I cannot find anyway to get back to the "all photos" view, other than to take it OUT of full screen mode, click on "Photos" in the side bar, and then go back to full screen mode. Either I am missing something that is glaringly obvious, or this is a rather annoying oversight by Apple. It seems like it would be natural to have "Photos" be one of the options along with Events, Faces, Places, Albums and Projects in full screen mode. Right now the only work around I've been able to come up with (aside from going back and forth with fullscreen mode), and to hit "command F" while in full screen mode, and then type "i", which will give me what I am want only because all my photos start with "i". Not a very elegant work around, I know, but perhaps I am missing something very obvious.
Thanks for any advice!
James

In case my description isn't clear, here is a screenshot of exactly the view in full screen mode I am talking about that I can't seem to return to once I leave it, other than to go back to non full screen mode or use the search trick.
