Aperture 3 : recurring quality problems with "auto levels"

Hello all,
I've been using Aperture 3 since the day of its release, and I have recurring problems with the quality of the "auto levels" output, compared to plain old Photoshop CS3. Auto-levels in Aperture 3 frequently output grainy results.
Here are some samples (look at the central vertical darker part of the image) :
— original image (well, part of it) shot using my Canon EOS 400D :

— the same original image with "auto levels" applied in Photoshop CS3 :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Photoshop.jpg
— the same original image with "auto levels" applied in Aperture 3.0.1 :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Aperture.jpg
And here are both "auto-levelled" images zoomed in for convenience's sake :

I would like to know if I'm the only one to get such crappy results in Aperture, on a not insignificant number of photos. These poor results are very visible in some photos. This is really irritating, because this lack of quality means I have to open those images in Photoshop just to apply auto-levels. And I thought Aperture would be smart enough to spare me those round-trips!
(By the way I've never had this kind of quality problems in Photoshop.)
Please share your experience. Thanks!

Here is another example :

Aperture auto-levels seem to choke on dark areas. Will we be obliged to bright and sunny shots ?

Recurring quality issues with HP Elitebook 6930p

Good afternoon to all forumers,
I am trying to find out if anyone besides me have the same recurring quality issues with HP Elitebook 6930p? Although these issues have all been resolved by HP. I find it very inconvenient since this is a business notebook and these issues have cause me a lot of down time and grievances. A list of my Elite book issues.
Warped LCD panel causing the latch not to work. (1 time)
Dead pixels on new LCD panel replacement (1 time).
Deteriorated touch pad rubber left button, which I don't use. (1 time)
Keyboard not working. (2 times)
Screw holding the top sdie switch panel came off on one corner. Reason being, the screw holder cracked (1 time).
Reading lack cover on the LCD panel cracked on its own. I rarely use this. (1 time).
Notebook overheating. The cooling element not working properly. (1 time).
Defective power adapter, loose contact at adapter (1 time). Replaced within warranty period.
I do not know whether to term this as` unlucky' or to say that today's HP business notebook has not got the `Quality' a business notebook should have. I have used other business notebook from HP, namely 2 models from the nx series but they are not as bad as the Elitebook except for the same high operating temperature issue.
Is there any course of action that I can take up with HP Malaysia? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi, Keith:
I have a 6930p and was leery about getting one, after reading this link below from the business support forum, but I only paid $499 for it brand new. I couldn't pass up a deal like that.

I heard that many of the issues you and the others that posted were improved/fixed by HP later on in production. My notebook was built in December of 2010, so it was pretty much the last of the line.
I have not experienced any problems with mine thus far, after 8 months of light use. I have tested every component at least once. I know the latch issue was fixed on later models.

Problems with auto upgrade Anyconnect 3.1

Hello,
I'm having problem with auto upgrade of Anyconnect 2.5 to 3.1.
Here is the situation :
I have ASA5510 running ASA 8.4.5 and clients are running Anyconnect 2.5.3055 and 3.1.00495 with 2 different profiles.
Clients with 2.5 can upgrade to 3.1 but then receive an "Invalid host entry" when they try to connect with new client. It works if they use FQDN instead of profiles. It's the same situation with Windows 7, Mac OS X and linux.
If I configure client software back to 2.5 on ASA, it works again for every client.
Do you have an idea ?
Thanks for your reply.
Yann

I have seen the same behavior on Mac OS X. A couple of points for me:
If I delete the profiles from /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile then I can connect once (using the FQDN) but it then downloads the client profile and on next attempted connection it receives "invalid host entry." My profiles use the FQDN of my ASA and both forward and reverse DNS resolution are configured properly.
My workaround is to remove the AnyConnect Client Profile entirely, but I can get away with that because I have a very simple setup, with all users in one default group. If I had to pass different profile information to different users that would not be a solution.
Second, better workaround: I just exported the client profile, imported it under a different name, edited the new client profile to remove the server address, and assigned the new profile to the group policy. At their next login, users get all the profile settings and since the client remembers the FQDN they used to connect it doesn't adversely affect the user experience.

Mail has problem with auto address.

My mail recently has had a problem with auto addressing. Sometimes it fills in the address, at other times it will not. I have checked mail preferences often...making sure auto-address is on. I CAN use the address book to click on an address when auto addressing doesn't work. Mail is also quirky about quitting and sometimes preferences have to be re-edited to send. Basically, it is behaving badly. What to do? Thanks ACE

Problems with Auto approval workflow (WS 10000060) for shopping carts

Hi SAP Network community,
I have got a problem with the auto approval workflow for shopping carts.
Basically the workflow approves the shopping cart once it was created.
But then the related Purchase Order remains in Status held. If the PO gets ordered manually then it is not transferred to the R/3 backend system.
For testing purposes also the one step approval workflow was activated. If the shopping cart gets approved by clicking into the detail approval screen (not by approving through the green tick box in the shopping cart overview) then the PO gets ordered and transferred to the backend system as normal.
But if the shopping cart gets approved by using the green tick box in the shopping cart overview then the same problem occurs as described for the auto approval workflow.
The system version is SRM 4.00
Did anybody have the same or similar problems with the auto approval workflow and what could be the reason for this problems.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi
Which SRM Workflow Scenario are you using (IS it Item level workflow or Shopping cart level Workflow) ?
Are you using customized SRM Business workflow or Standard SRM Workflow ?

Problems with Item level access rights

I am having problems with a page group I created. I have applied item level security to an item on a page, managed by me and viewable by one access group. I then created multiple users and signed in as one user who was not in the access group to see that item. When I navigated to that page, I could see the item. When I restricted access to the tab on the page, I could not see the tab, so that worked. But when I opened access to the tab, I could still see the item.
Here are my settings:
Page Group Properties: Display Page To Public Users checked and Enable Item Level Security checked.
Page Properties: Display Page To Public Users checked and Enable Item Level Security checked.
Tab Properties: Specify Access Settings checked and added all of the appropriate groups with view access.
Text Item Properties: Define Item Level Access Privileges and managed by me and viewable by one access group.

New Sound Quality Problems with Flash and Macintosh

First I noticed the the Flash 8 Video Encoder exported low
low quality sound, as if pass through some bit-crusher folder,
happened on several macs in the office. Finally, I try it on
Windows XP, and no sound problems with FLV export (and it was
exporting videos 400% faster than macs).
Now, both inside Flash Ap itself, and worse in the SWF,
stream sounds are low-quality, with 16bit 44k pristine-sounding
source files.
If anyone has answers (I've been searching for a couple days
now) please write [email protected]

Hi guys - last time I looked no one had posed a similar

but the weird thing is through gif publication, it wouldn't show. and exporting it as a movie as gif cause visual defect when put up on web.
it looks better when you open it in a browser.

how do you get it to look good both in thumbnail mode and in browser mode. i seen other that have a clear gif in thumbnail mode. are my setting wrong for flash? or should i just do gif in photshop instead. i heard rumors flash don't do gif very well.
