Aperture 3 update.  Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?

Perhaps I'm missing something, but: Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?
I realize you can delete retouch strokes, but they are in linear order so you often have to delete useful ones to go far enough back to get the one that you've decided no longer works.
I would rather have the ability to erase strokes back to the original image, much like the way the History Brush works in Photoshop, and indeed the eraser tool works in many other Aperture bricks.
Example, I retouch an eye, and then move on to retouch an ear.  Then I decide I don't like the eye brush strokes.  In order to remove one stroke on the eye retouch, I have to delete all the successful brush strokes I've made to the ear (i.e. those that came after the stroke I wish to remove from the eye).  This is needlessly complicated and inefficient.
Many of other bricks in Aperture have an eraser tool to selectively remove brushstrokes.  Why not the retouch tool?
Also, many other bricks in Aperture allow for stacking or layering bricks of the same adjustment with different brush choices.  Why not the retouch tool?
Am I missing something?

We are just users here.  Feature Enhancement requests need to be made via Apple's official approved channel.  You can get there from within Aperture by clicking "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".
Retouching (and cloning) involves not just applying a transformation to the selected pixels, but basing that transformation on _other, non-contiguous_ pixels sampled from the image.  This leads me to think that there may be intractable technical problems setting up the kind of workflow you propose.

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

  • Why is there no Knowledgebase article for the just-released IE11 update KB3025390?

    The KB link shown in the Windows Update page for my Windows 7 x64 Enterprise machine does not find a page for that KB article. What exactly are we patching? What is it supposed to fix?

    Hello from japan, I've been in trouble, just like you. (jp-Forum)
    In my case, Windows 7 + Access VBA + IE11, also an Access Denied in a frame after installing the KB3025390, and it resolved with uninstalling.
    I made a reproducible prototype;
    [test.vbs]
    Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    objIE.Visible = True
    objIE.Navigate "(full path)\hello.html"
    WScript.Sleep 3000
    '******* It works good
    objIE.Document.All("btn1").Click
    objIE.Navigate "(full path)\frameset.html"
    WScript.Sleep 3000
    '******* it will fail "Access Denied" after installing the KB3025390
    objIE.Document.Frames.Item("frame1").Document.All("btn1").Click
    [hello.html]
    <html><body>
    <input id="btn1" type="button" value="Hello" OnClick="alert('Hello World')">
    </body></html>
    [frameset.html]
    <html><frameset rows="20%,*">
    <frame id="frame1" src="hello.html">
    <frame id="frame2" src="about:blank">

    Please help us, thank you.

  • Why isnt there a facetime app for the iphone 4s?

    Because all my friends have the app and my phone doesn't....

    Your friends must have a ipod.
    I read the manual for my iphone and it said that the facetime app is merged with the phone app so when you click on the phone app and click on a contact it should say facetime!
    WARNING: make sure your friends have facetime setup!

  • HT1918 After seven ios updates, why is iBooks still the only app that won't synch between iphone & ipad?!?

    After seven ios updates, why is iBooks still the only app that won't synch between iphone &amp; ipad?!?

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the reply.  I did think that could be the case but then other books would also show up as apps on phone but not counted as an app.  Maybe book apps downloaded from the app store work in this way whereas books bought from the ibooks app show in ibooks and not as apps.
    I guess that would make sense, it must be because they are books but downloaded from the app store rather than the book store so they are visible as an app but don't actually get counted as an app.
    Would you think that's the case too?
    Thanks
    Adam

  • As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to insert current date and time in message that you are writing?

    As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to QUICKLY insert current date and time in message that you are writing?
    Literally have seen this very-much-needed -- and used -- option "promised" for three years now, and even if there's only one or two formats that could be used, at least the option is there.
    It seems only way is to link a Macro and tool to Thunderbird and do it that way.

    Where was it promised? A quick search of Bugzilla didn't find a functionality request bug report for it.
    I assume you're aware that Mozilla stopped development about 2 years ago (just adds security/stability fixes and provides infrastructure) and all new features and bug fixes are now added by the community. They seem pretty tied up with bug fixes and reworking some hard to maintain components such as the MIME support.
    Have you tried the Timestamp add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/timestamp/ ? The version at AMO doesn't support versions later than 2.0 so you'd need to do something like install the disable add-on compatibility checks add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/checkcompatibility/?src=ss, and ignore the warning message about Timestamp not being compatible. However, the author has a version at http://extensions.sanjer.nl/?page=tb_ts that supposedly supports up to Thunderbird 11.9.x so it should be "compatible by default as it supports version 5 or later and is not a binary add-on like Lightning or Enigmail.
    "For Thunderbird use the context menu (right click popup) in the compose window, Ctrl+Shift+T or "Options | Insert timestamp" to inserts the date/time into a message"

  • HT4623 Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    The update process DOES back up contacts and photos, unless you interrupted the backup. The manual tells you to sync contacts to an app on your computer, and to import photos regularly to your computer. So Apple DID tell you to back up, you just didn't bother to read it.
    If you didn't sync yet (and even if you did) connect the phone to your computer, right click on its name, and choose "Restore from Backup". If there's more than one backup choose the one with a timestamp before you updated.

  • Why is there a black part in the X when I try to delete my app? It's covering up the supposed to be white space around the X button

    Help!! Why is there a black part in the X when I try to delete my app? It's covering up the supposed to be white space around the X button

    Try:
    - Reset all settings                  
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                     
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Since they all line up on the left site that could be a hardware problem or maybe a software glitch. I have never seen that problem posterd here before

  • HT4757 I have installed the Raw update 3.12, but still couldn't import the D800 NEF files

    I installed the raw update 3.12, but still couldn't import the D800 raw files to Aperture & iPhoto.

    I found a solution. My E–P3 raw files still showed up as “unsupported” after reinstalling the update from the standalone updater. I discovered that selecting one of the “unsupported” raw files and having Aperture reprocess it (even though it had never been processed at all) made the file recognizable by Aperture and allowed me to make adjustments to it. I then reprocessed all of my E–P3 raw files and the only problem I have noted is that the vertical files were not auto rotated.
    In reprocessing the raw files, I selected "only photos without adjustments" and "reprocess existing images". I hope this helps anyone who experienced this problem.

  • Why is there a service fee for repairs n

    This will be my 3rd RMA in my short period of owning a Zen Micro. When I was re emailed by creative, they said I needed to pay $25 for a service fee.
    Why is there a service fee for repairs now for common problems such as the infamous earphone jack?

    The tariff guide still says
    Installation, Activation & Equipment Charges Activation Fee
    All new BT TV customers will be charged a £35 activation fee.
    Any existing BT TV customers taking a new set top box will also be charged a £35 activation fee.
    Optional Engineer Install (Box service only) The charge for the engineer install option is £35. Optional Broadband Extenders (Box service only)
    The charge for one set of optional Broadband Extenders is £35
    So if you can't get the precise order you want online why not phone the BT customer options team and place your order that way.
