Aperture 3.5.1 undid any adjustment I brushed on many pictures

I am facing a major issue.
This morning went back to a two years old picture and I noticed it missed some adjustments, turns out all the Dodge and Burn I brushed on some elements of the picture are gone. They do still appear in the adjustments tab, they are selected and I can brush the same adjustment on the picture if I try to but the painting I did in the past is gone
I tried to restore my library from a couple of days ago and while the preview still has the adjustments (if I enlarge the picture it pops up with those dodge and burn adjustments) as soon as Aperture updates the preview, the images changes and loses the adjustments.
The problem is this does not applies on all my pictures, looks like only the older behave that way. Is there anything I can do to save those adjustments?

Ok here's what I discovered. The TIFFs in that subfolders are readable and many of them show actual brushing...some don't.
I found an all black TIFF with a very wide aspect ratio and I could instantly tell which picture it was referred to, it's one of those reporting the problem, the pixel resolution matches perfectly.
This picture had two separate "Intensify Contrast" masks applied. I tried to draw two symbols to see if one would show up in the file inside the 8 > 82 folder. It did not, instead they showed up in two other files
The blank file in 8 > 82 is not present in the backup library from 2 days ago. It almost looks like as Aperture forgot my adjustments for those pictures and then once I open up the picture in aperture he creates brand new tiffs because it can't find the references old ones...right?
I'll check this theory opening the picture in a copy of the backup library and seeing if Aperture creates the blank TIFF there too...
EDIT: There it goes, in a different folder but it did create it once I opened the pic in Aperture (it was not there before I checked)
Looks like a mess to me, I starting to think to move to a new library and copy the old pictures later once I get time...since the TIFFs with my old work are not here.

  • Aperture 3-- photos disappear when trying any adjustment

    A series of RAW photos cannot be adjusted--anytime I try any adjustment the photo disappears and will not reappear until I go to EDIT and UNDO the attempted adjustment.
    I have tried reprocessing all masters, etc., to no avail.
    The camera and lenses are all the same I have used in the past and have no trouble making adjustments--just one series of photos.
    Anyone with similar problems or suggested solutions? Help is sincerely appreciated!

    Trying to get my head around this one. When you say the photo disappears, do you mean that it disappears from the browser?
    The only way I have been able to replicate this is as below.
    RAW is visible, with adjustments applied:
    RAW is not visible:
    Make sure that the search field is clear.
    An obvious one I know...

  • Shadows darken when I grab any adjustment slider, become normal on release

    This started happening recently, and it's driving me crazy. Basically, clicking and holding any adjustment slider causes the image to instantly become darker, and then it goes back to normal when let go. The adjustments still work, they just appear to be happening to a darker version of the image until you let go. It's really weird. It happens whether you make an adjustment or not, and seems the most prominent in shadow areas. I made a rollover to demonstrate: http://royalsquid.com/temp/ap/ (mouseover to see what it looks like when I hold down the white balance slider, notice I haven't even moved it yet). Look closely for instance at the back of the lady's jacket on the left.
    I've only got RAW files in my library, but from several different cameras and it's the same for all of them, new or old. Changing the proofing settings doesn't make a difference. Any ideas? Latest version of Aperture (2.1.2), all updates installed etc. My monitor is an Eizo CG241W calibrated with ColorEyes Display Pro and an X-Rite DTP94B.

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

  • Open Aperture and don't have any images in my library.. but library is 2GB

    I used to use Aperture a lot, not so much any more. But I opened it tonight to look at some photos (1.5.6) and I have nothing in my library. My Aperture library is almost 2GB, so I know there's information in there, but I can't see any photos. Anyone have an idea why I'm experiencing this?
    Thanks for any help!
    Brian,.

    Check the location of your "Aperture Library.aplibrary" module, the default location is in the Users/Pictures folder... dbl click to open the "Aperture Library.aplibrary" module... this will open Aperture.app and your photos should appear.
    If the module is not there that might mean it's lost... go for a spotlight search.
    Still no photos, (and you've checked to make sure the module has data, (you said 2GB), then you may want to delete the "com.apple.Aperture.plist"
    This far and no Photos? Delete Aperture.app then reinstall a fresh copy of Aperture from the install disk.
    I hope this helps.

  • HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

    I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

    1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
    2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
    3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

  • There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/stacia134/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary".  Why am I getting this message and how do I correct it so that I can open Aperture????  any suggestions would be most appreciated

    Then I'd check the system drive, if it has problems.
    To check your System drive boot into the Recovery Partition, see: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.
    You will see a panel, where you can use Disk Utility to check your System Drive.

  • Big problem with Aperture. Doesnt react to any command, cant even close it ?

    Cant close Aperture, it doesnt react to any command, just grinds on a photo. I tried to import photos from facebook and it stuck. just says OSSerror and keeps trying to load a pic..for one day now. can anyone help ?

    On this page, this recommendation is made:
    Unchecking the box to automatically check for newly published albums made this problem stop happening.
    I suspect you'll have to force quit Aperture.  Restart it, and then run "Repair Database".  Details are on this Apple Support page.
    I don't use Flickr; that's all I got.  Hope it helps.

  • After upgrade to Lightroom 5, image is blurry for a sec after any adjustment

    Hi everyone. After upgrade to Lightroom 5, after any adjustment in Develop module, image is a little bit blurry for a while. It looks like the Lightroom is rendering stuff after changing exposure, contrast, vibrance or anything else. Blurrying is visible while moving a slider. When position of a slider is fixed, it takes a sec to render the image. I have no such thing with Lightroom 4.4 (or any previous version), so for now I go back. I reproduced this weird behaviour even with a new catalog, created with LR5 to be sure it's not related to upgrading my existent catalog.
    My computer is MacBook Pro 17" (Early 2009) with Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz, 8 GB RAM, SSD, etc. I use up-to-date Mountain Lion.

    IMHO, this is related to this issue :

    The bug takes multiple forms but has probably a single root.

  • Adjustment's brush strokes disappearing from adjustment brick.

    Good day,
    I am having a problem with the brush strokes from my skin smoothing and levels adjustments disappearing (perhaps others also but I haven't noticed those). I have spent a lot of time brushing in the skin smoothing on many images with great results. But twice now, the skin smoothing (and levels where I used those) adjustment's brush strokes have disappeared from the adjustment brick for all of the images. The brick still is there and still is checked on/active but no adjustment is being applied (since it no longer sees or contains the brush strokes). Somehow the internal link between the brush strokes and the adjustment brick have been broken, or the brush strokes deleted themselves en masse.
    Has anybody seen this behavior before? Any ideas on why this is happening and if I can re-connect the brush strokes to the images (assuming the brush strokes are still inside the Aperture database somewhere)?
    I just now upgraded to Aperture 3.1.2 from the most recent build (I upgrade regularly). The images are high resolution scanned from transparencies as 16bit tiff files. I use a managed library with no referenced images in the library. I have repaired permissions, repaired the database, and rebuilt the database with no positive results.
    Please help.
    Thanks!
    Nils

    Thanks for the suggestion and the quick reply too. I've tried it but it seems to only partially work in that I can stamp the first adjustment into a new version of the image and invert it. However I don't seem to be able to get it to stamp it as 2nd curve adjustment. It seems to overwrite the current curve adjustment, if there is one, or create it if there isn't one.
    Thus if there is a way to stamp an existing curve adjustment to a new curve brick that would do the trick. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks again for the help.
    Best regards

  • Aperture 3.4.1 and raw 4 update installed now many of my D700 and D800E raw files are turning in to unsupported file format?

    Only happens if the file is opened for editing and not to all files. Pictures are visible in the browser. No issuses with Aperture prior to upgrade. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Have not been able to re-install raw 3.13 always says newer software and closes
    I have Aperture disc 1,2,and 3;
    Followed commands to re-install from #3 no change in library's unsupported images when upgraded to 3.4.1
    Uninstall again with Mac Cleaner all ?DLL files erased only library remains
    Install #3 from disc and new permissions to open library"from newer version" and all of previous images restored, but new older ones start to blink out "they do not turn black but look like you are using rabbit ears to tune in your TV, scrambled" until viewed for processing then become unsupported.
    Repaired 3.1 library and Aperture would open but not open library. Re-installed 3.4.1 many more images failing to load across entire 5700 Nef's library but not JPEG.
    Close but where is culprit?
    Raw 4 is always there even in Aperture 3.1 due to Lion OSX8
    3.4.1 is the only down loaded upgrade, new down load each time
    Raw files/cameras are D200,D700,D800E and possibly Lecia DLUX-3
    IMAC 2.4 core 2 duo
    4G 667
    Radeon HD 2600
    OSX 10.8.2
    no aperture problems since 1.0 until recent upgrades

  • Aperture. I have so many pictures and not sure where to put them now that my MacBook Pro is filled?

    I have so many pictures on my Mac book pro on aperture that I can not put anymore on.  If I put them on a hard drive h
    Then how do I access them like a library?

    Aperture allows you to store your Images' Originals on any directly connected drive (must be formatted "Mac OS Extended, Journaled"), and gives you the option and the ability to move your Originals any time you want.
    So get an external drive, format it correctly, select the Images whose Originals you want to move to that external drive, and move them using the command "File➞Relocate Originals".
    An Image's Original must be on-line in order for you to be able to make adjustments, export, or print that Image.  When the Original is off-line, you are still able to change the metadata, and view and share the Image's Preview.
    If you are uncertain about the parts of Aperture, my User Tip is as good a place to start as I know .
    Here is the topic as covered in the well-done Users Manual.  Note that the User Manual uses the terms "Master" and "Original" synonymously, and that it confuses users by refering to referenced and managed _Images_.  Image's are not, themselves, referenced or managed.  The Original of each Image is a file (the one you imported); that file is the item that is either referenced or managed.
    What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?

  • Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

    Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
    For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
    I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
    In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

    The short answer is yes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    Open Image Capture application.
    Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
    Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

    I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album), in either of these apps???? They claim to be able to "Organize"  or "arrange" Photos, but for the life of me I can't figure out how......could you recommend any apps that actually allow someone to move individual photos around on an IOS Device.

    No, reordering within folders and albums is not supported. the yare arranged automatically by date. I found this, but I have not used any of the apps besides iPhone. You might check the descriptions to see if they do what you need.

  • PLEASE HELP! Photoshop won't let me angle any of my brushes, it makes all of them round. How do I fix this?

    So I ran into a bit of an issue a couple days ago. For whatever reason, photoshop will not let me angle any of my brushes, which a lot of them are (currently working on a digital painting portfolio), so it is a bit of a problem. I have tried going into shape dynamic and making adjustments, etc... I tried clearing my brushes and then putting them back on. No matter what brush set I use, the ones that should show up with an angle, instead are round. How can I fix this?

    We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
