Aperture 3.4.1 changes the colors of my previously processed RAW files!

I am revisiting some projects that I worked on in the last couple of months and am assembling a portfolio. When I was trying to choose my favorites I noticed in disbelief that some of my carefully editited and color graded photos looked great in the preview (as I remembered them) but once the "loading" sign disappeared turned horrible with hightlights and different colors!
Mind you, I am not talking about the handling of RAW files after an import. It happens months after import and post-processing has happened and was behaing beautifully. Basically 2000 photos are screwed up this way and I'd have to painfully recreate the raw files by the (still existing) proper previews/thumbnails???
I am thoroughly confused and it would be great if someone could give me some pointers to the dilemma (or even confirm a bug in that regard)
Thanks, Louis

Nah, "Highlight Priority Mode" was switched off.
Here's the examples:
1. This is my finished picture. The information is still avaliable in the preview. So this is what I wanted it to look like and how I remembered it.

2. This is how Aperture makes it look now!!!
http://cl.ly/image/3B0o0a0r051g
3. This is what it looks like when I make a copy from the original and then stamp the old settings onto it.

Go figure. It's just random and did I mentioned that I am deeply frustrated with an otherwise excellent program? :-)
If this is bound to happen with our pictures, how can we reliably work with this? I have paying clients who come back to me months and years after and need to have access to their stock of photos.

How do you change the color of a jpeg or tiff file (from b/w to color)?

I recently was given Creative Suite 5 so I can create ads, flyers, etc. I am trying to change our logo from a black and white to PMS 541 Blue. I was able to change the text color, but for some reason it will not stick to the images. Most of the graphics/logos I use are jpegs, tiffs or eps files. I am still learning PS, but so far I have found it hard to use and would appreciate any help so I can at least get this very easy flyer out. Will definetly be a regular on this forum until I can figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can tell if you have defined it by looking at your Channels palette. I would wager that it is not there based on your description.

As you have the suite, you might look at using Illustrator for logos. Photoshop is rarely used for logos.

Why can't I change the color of an object?

I am having trouble with the color brick. I can't change the color of an object, at least not like described here: http://http://thedigitalstory.com/2012/12/easily-color-changin.html.
Some background:
1. I am working with RAW files.
2. I have RTFM.
3. I have consulted three books I own on Aperture.
4. I have searched the web for help, which is how I came across the link above.
5. I am using the color block correctly, but I can only achieve a subtle shift in the change of very pale colors. This is despite adding up to three additional color blocks to try to increase the degree of change, but there is no way I am coming close to being able to change a blue car to purple, let alone to red (this references the link above.)
Others must have experienced this, I would think. Any thoughts on what I might do differently to achieve more dramatic results from the color block? I don't even have a specific change in a specific image that I'm asking about—I just want to master the software so that I can do so when I need to. Come to think of it, there is a specific change I want to make in a image. Now it's really an important question!
Thanks,
Ben

Thanks, Léonie. A quick way to move any slider to its extreme is to click on the value in the Value Slider and drag all the way left or right. This is much faster than side-stepping all the way to the far limits.
I think the example the OP (Ben) is trying to emulate is misleading (given the sophistication of the Digital Story poster, deliberately, and wrongly, so). The car in the original photo is just about the only blue object (and thus pixels) in the image used to demonstrate that one can change the hue of objects using Aperture. Aperture excels at global adjustments and adjustments made to _imprecisely_ bounded areas. (This is, contrary to one's expectation, one of Aperture's great strengths: imprecisely-bounded tone and hue shifts are perceived as "natural"; precisely bounded ones look "artificial". Most photographers (as opposed to graphic artists) wish to retain the illusion of a natural world inside their pictures.) The only reason the hue-changing trick works with the car in the photo is that the Color adjustment effects only the car because it is the only blue object in the photo (there is a bluish TV in the background, and a bluish logo on one of the displays in the background).
The point is that while object-specific hue-shifts can be made with Aperture, it is not the program of choice for this kind of editing. A graphics package, which allows for much more control over selecting pixels, is recommended.

I am not able to change the color of my icloud calendar.

Hi,
my icloud calendar changed the color of my personal calender to purple and I have no chance to undo that. Everytime I try to change it back to blue it automatically jumps back to purple.
Does anybody have an idea to solve this issue?
Kind regards

Have you checked your iCloud settings on your Mac or PC. And if you are using a Mac, have you also activated Photo Stream for iPhoto or Aperture?

How do I change the color of a Photo Box?

I'm new to Aperture, but I'm impressed with the customization abilities of the Photo Book compared to iPhoto. I want to be able to do a couple things: change the color of the Photo Box, and possibly change the Photo Box style (one book layout in particular makes the Photo Boxes look like a photo on the page, complete with shadow).
Can anyone help with one, or both issues?

Some quick help would be really appreciated...
Who knows how to change the color of the Photo Box?
Anyone here know how to bring a different style (i.e., the Snapshots style) to a different themed book?

Change the color of the outer line of a shape

Hello I'm trying to create a rectangle with a red border and no inside fill. It's only to highlight some text of a bank form.
I know i have to right click the layer and choose blending options and stroke. But I've tried to change the color so many times and no matter what I do, the outer line remains gray and with rounded corners.
I want the corners of the rectangle to be squared, not rounded but I'm having a hard time changing this.
Please help
I'm using Photoshop CS3
thank you
Could anyone please show a picture of where to change the color of the outer line? I've tried everything.

Hi,
With Ps CS3, you'll probably want to define a Layer Style for a Stroke and then use that with the Square Shape Layers.
This is a Stroke of 4 px, 'Centered' (so a very slight corner rounding on the outside edge. 'Inside' will give you square corners for both inside and outside edges). To change the color of the stroke, go to Layer> Layer Style> Stroke and change the color by clicking on the color bar.

steve

I am unable to change the color of text in an email I replay to or compose. I am on 31.6.0 release of Thunderbird.

When I receive, reply or compose email. I no longer am able to see or change the color of text. I select to change the text from black to Red (or any other color) and the text just stays black, The color seletor box will show the last select color, but never actually changes the text color in an email. Also in received email, when the sender has indicated their replies to me are in another color, All the text only appears as black. I never had this problem in the past, not sure what has happened. I did restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled and this did not change the problem.

Every time I try to replace text on a brochure template, the colors inexplicably change- and when I try and change the color, it doesn't let me- help, very frustrated:) Please respond in laymen's terms:P

Hello Everyone,
I am working with the Green Grocery Newsletter Template, and I am trying to substitute the text. As an example of my issue, when I highlight the title text and start typing, it turns blue, even though the text color box still shows green. Actually, any text I try to replace turns blue! If I try to change the color of my blue text, the text color box shows the new color, but the text on the template is of course, still blue.
Please help:)! So frustrated and on a deadline.
Thank you:)!

Just wondering, when you pull up the inspector, is the writing that is coming up blue a hyperlink (when you click on it, will it take you to a web page or an e-mail)?

I need to change the color of the font in my Bookmark Toolbar. Unable to read all bookmarks.

No longer have a question about editing the Bookmarks Toolbar. I may be dense, but I have not discovered how I may change the text (font) color when using View, Bookmarks, Custom. I see the capability to choose to use text and image, but not to change the color of the text. The ability to "bold" the text would probably be sufficient. I will revisit the Getting Started page and select other background colors to try and alleviate the problem. Persona or thema colors conflict with black text (for my older eyes - I have a vision problem.).

You can make such a change with code in userChrome.css
Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.<br />

How to change the color in "blocks" effect

Hi,
I've got a problem with Motion.
I use a "behaviour" effect on my text that is called "blocks".
When I set parameters to default, I see a blue effect with some red blocks in backgroud.
I want to turn this effect into a green effect.
The problem is that when I change the color into green, there is still a strange orange color on some blocks.
I've added all the color parameters (face, shadow...)that I thought it could be due to but nothing changes. I still have this strange color on some blocks.
The strangest thing is that it sometimes becomes ok when I make the changes but when I save and re-open my file in FCP or Motion, it isn't ok.
Has anyone already used this effect and seen that problem?
Thanks for your help...

Text behaviors work by sequencing the Text's parameters.
Try changing the color of your text's outline.
Select the Text tab in the Inspector
Go to the Style sub tab
change the Outline color to green
Hope that helps.

Is it possible to change the color of a layer of a Customs CSS from an External Style sheet?

Hi,
I have sucessfully link External .css file to my HTML page and able to change the font size of the headlines and the paragraph.
What I am not able to do is to ADD the color my Custom CSS from the External sheet. I have difined the color attribute as a 'Advance'
and gave it the same name "#bigwraper" that is has in my HTML file.
Attached is the color outline of my 'Blank Layout' with colors?
Thank you.

Hi Murray,
I am building a web site on which the entire content would be changed at least daily. The website would have similar design to www.Helium.com
The page will have CCS layout boxes in which different content would be pasted.
To re-phrase my question: I want to know how to change the color of a layer from an external style sheet?
Because my home page 'Sidebar' and colors would be the same for all page, only the content of different pages would be different. If I want to change a color of my web side pages, I need to learn how to do it in one spot through an External Style Sheet.
I am amble to link my external style sheet and to change H1 tag and to give it different colors. But I was not sucess with change the color of a layer on which my content sits around.
I took out the color from my HTML page and gave the same name to the layer in my External Style Sheet with the same color.
Hope my question and the reason I was able to clarify.
cheers,

How do I change the color on the task icon in my calendar?

Hello!
I just got a Blackberry Pearl 8110 and I want to take the most out of the calendar feature. I set so it shows my tasks in the calendar - I'm currently using the weekly view. The little icon/dash that shows up in my calendar to indicate the due date of my task is bright neon green and I can barely see it. Is there a way to change the color of that icon?
Thanks so much!!

I don't believe this is an option on a BlackBerry. You only have an option to change the appointment color on the calendar.

How do I change the color of the back and forward arrow to green

In Windows 7 the color of the back and forward page arrow is blue.
On my desktop computer using Windows XP the color of the back and forward page arrow is green. This is much easier on my eyes.
Is there a way to change the color to green in Windows 7?

Firefox on Windows XP uses a different default theme than Firefox on Vista & 7. Try using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7119/ XP on Vista] theme, this should replicate the XP theme on Windows 7.
