Aperture brush/preview problems?

I've been using Aperture 3.4 for a while with no problems. Today when uploading and editing my latest batch of pictures, I find the thumbnails look a little weird. They have pink lines and static where I used brushes. Originally, it looked like it was just from when I used the intensify contrast brush but now if I used the polarizer, contrast or intensify contrast, there's static and lines from it. Using the dodge brush was fine.
However, no matter how the thumbnails look, when I open the image, after the initial 'Loading . . .', the image looks fine and just how I intended after editing. I uploaded them to Flickr to see what would happen and in place of the pink static is black blotches where I used the brushes (example: http://flickr.com/gp/hightidedc/U5LFq0).
How do I go about fixing this? None of my other photos are having any issues, and I used a Kingston 8 GB card on my Nikon D3200. They were RAW files, which is what I usually use. I've already tried generate new thumbnail and it's resulted in the static changing to cyan color or horizontal stripes covering the entire image or another variation. Also tried repairing permissions, didn't do anything.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure, sorry! After I finished editing/tagging I uploaded to Flickr through Aperture, if that helps any, sorry!
I held down option and went Photos-Generate Thumbnails.
I tried a few photos and the black effect that was on the Flickr images is what I see when I open it in Preview.
I tried that on a few different photos and the static effect changed. One grey static image turned bright magenta, one turned white. Another turned bright magenta into cyan.
Edit: I do have the memory card with all the originals on it still. Would it be worth it to just start from scratch and re edit the photos, or is it likely there's something wrong with the memory card? Only about 140 in total.

Brush Preview Problems, please help.

I can't get the red brush preview to work. I can change the brush size through the shortcut (alt, right-click, drag), but it doesn't preview.
Also, when I try to change the hardness, I get no preview at all either. The command works, but all I get it a round hairline.
Thanks in advance for your help

Wolf, thanks for your reply! I think I read somewhere that OpenGL only runs on Vista? Or mabe 64bit OS? I'm not sure...
I'm running Win XP 32bit SP3 with an nVidia, NVS 290, 256MB dual DVI Graphics Card and dual monitors.
Thanks in advance,

Problem with brush preview in PS CS4

When my instructor shows the brush preview mode, his brush looks like the selected brush, which means that if there's a lot of feathering on it, he can see that. In the same mode and with the same cursor settings in the preferences, I only get a circle indicating the size of the brush. There's nothing to see about the relative hardness of it. COuld this be because I'm running on Windows XP? If not, how can I get to see the brush the way he does. Thanks for your help.

Yes. Read this Knowledge Base article on OpenGL in Photoshop.

HT202020 Using a SDHC card adapter I can import directly on my iPad2 videos (.mov) taken with a Panasonic DMC-ZS3. The same video files (same file format) imported in Aperture 3.3 cannot be synchronized with iPad. Is Aperture causing the problem?

Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!

APERTURE: Small preview images do not show the changes.

excuse my lousy english...
Problem with Aperture:
Small preview images do not show the changes.
I use Aperture 3 since August 2010. By November and 10 projects later it ran normally.
Since the project 11 are in the preview images shown (on the bottom bar in the shared representation) and in the pictures in the books no adjustments. I change for example a picture in b / w it remains in the small preview images bunt even though the great View Erbild s / w is. Even in the books then the famous picture colorful and even grobpixelig.
This is of course in the processing of multiple images per project huntert pretty annoying to have no overview of processed images ...:-(
I had a third installed for books and not as close a relationship.
Does anyone have similar experience or know someone how can I fix this?
Thanks for reading!

Lokoe,
To make sure we understand:
I change for example a picture in b / w it remains in the small preview images bunt even though the *great View Erbild s / w is*.
I am not sure what "s/w" is, but I think you mean:
"I change picture to black and white and the small preview images remain *in color* even though the *big picture in the Viewer* is in B/W."
Even in the books then the famous picture colorful and even grobpixelig.
"In the books the selected picture is colorful and even ???"
"Grobpixelig" -> "grosspixelig" -> "Looks like big pixels???" Not quite sure of the translation. It's been 15 years since I spoke Deutsch!

Bug ACR 7.2 adjustment brush previews

I realize this is a redundant post - I want to make sure someone at Adobe notices. Adjustment brush previews are turning off when you hover the cursor over the edit pin, and stay off until off until you hover cursor over another pin. Neil Carboni took the time to make screen shots that show the problem. See previous post and my Windows 7 x64 specs at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1083526?tstart=0
The Adjustment brush previews work as expected so long the Show Mask option is checked AND one of the of the Adjustment Brush pins is selected; so one mask is always showing.
For example, when a previously edited image is first re-opened in ACR, no brush pins are selected (Show Mask can be checked). If I hover my cursor over one of the pins (for example I have 6 brush adjustments) the mask flashes on for the associated edit, as expected. When I move the cursor away, the edit preview disappears as if the edit never happened, but the pin remains. I then select one of the pins by clicking on it to make that edit live. Now when I move my cursor over a pin the mask for that pin flashes on, when I move the cursor away from that pin the preview of the edit is showing. Now the preview works for any brush edit.
Makes working with multiple adjustment brushes extremely difficult - not always sure if the results of a previous edit are showing. Have to constantly move my cursor and hover it over another brush pin to verify that I am seeing results of previous edit. If the preview is not showing, as soon as I put down the brush on that edit, the preview springs to life. I do not see this problem using ACR 7.1 on my Vista x64 machine.
As my previous post indicates, I have updated the driver on my FirePro V4900, uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, etc. Did not see the problem after I reinstalled Photoshop and briefly used ACR 7. Problem came back once I updated.

Well, for one, the current version of ACR is 8.3 by now.

Brush Preview Broken? PS CC 2014

Hello. Just upgraded to PS CC 2014, and have noticed that a reasonable brush preview only works with a tiny brush. A generous sized brush seems to break the preview. Anyone else getting this?
• Troubleshooting so far: "Reset Brushes..." via Preset Manager (no impact).
• Screenshots below were created with a standard brush (second brush in the default presets). The only customization I did was to turn the spacing down to 1% (though the default 25% still looks screwy) and to turn on pressure sensitivity/pen pressure for my wacom (though it looks screwy even without sensitivity turned on).

Hi Benjamin,
Yes I see your problem and I'm having it too. In fact it drives me crazy, I've tried calling adobe on it but no one seems to know how to fix it. I will try again tomorrow and let you
know what they say.

How to disable anoying and slow stamp brush preview? CS5

Hello,
i have this problem in Photoshop CS5
as always, with nev version we got new features which nobody needs and slow down the performance... and/or workflow
for example: anoying preview under the stamp brush, which is unbelievably slow and cannot be turned off
next thing is brush shape preview, i often use large brushes and i need to see the whole shape, not just one quarter of the brush, please change that
thanx

If not for the new features, why upgrade Photoshop?
You have video driver problems. You are also likely wrong that OpenGL Drawing is turned off on your system, assuming by "stamp brush preview" you mean the overlay preview inside the brush for the Clone Stamp tool, because with OpenGL disabled you wouldn't be seeing that overlay. Keep in mind that when you make OpenGL changes in the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu you should close Photoshop and reopen it.
Why do things work differently in CS5? The simple answer is that Photoshop demands more of the video drivers than its predecessors. And your computer / software setup isn't up to the task.
Chances are it can work better... Download the latest driver for your nVidia video card. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
By the way, the Clone Stamp overlay (assuming that's what you're describing as the "stamp brush preview") is not "unbelievably slow" on most peoples' systems - it's perfectly interactive and a real help. To turn off the Clone Stamp overlay, choose Window - Clone Source, then uncheck the [ ] Show Overlay setting.

Brush preview size / Size of actual brush stroke do not match?

Hello.
I recently acquired a Macbook Air (2012 version) and it came with CS5 extended preloaded. Everything seems to be working fine, with the exception of these two things:
1. Whenever I select any--that means any--brush and put down a dot or stroke, the width of the stroke is ALWAYS smaller than the preview size for the brush.
With the brush preview size on the left, the dot comes out the size of the dot on the right.
2. The pencil tool has the same exact problem. Also, when I use the pencil tool, the little cross in the middle of the brush preview becomes offset a little bit down and little bit to the right on every even number. (e.g., cross is centered in 3px brush, offset in 4px brush, centered in 5px brush, offset in 6px brush.
I've reset my brush settings multiple times. As far as I can tell, this isn't an issue of any individual brush setting.
As someone who does a lot of pixel art, this has basically brought my work to a full stop. I would greatly appreciate some help.
Cheers.

Which version of mac os x are you using?
Look under System>Preferences>Accessibility>Display and see if the Cursor Size is set to something other than Normal
(you want the Cursor Size set to Normal)

Can't access Aperture 3 previews in iLife Media Browser

I know this has been posted before but I don't think I've seen a resolution yet ....
Since migrating all of my data etc from my MacBook to new iMac I can't see the Aperture previews in the Media Browser. I've tried reinstalling Aperture and previews are set to be shared with iLife (in Preferences).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Jon

Thanks for this - it didn't work, but something else did!!
Turns out there's actually a Knowledge Base answer on a similar matter (discovered after calling Apple Support). Just open Aperture from the dock whilst holding Option + CMD and then select to Repair the library - middle option. Worked straight away!
Thank you

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

Yea, and it's a pain to get to. What was the rational for removing the print size button? With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size. Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen? I never use that.
Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop. The Brush preview window is unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless. If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Another Aperture and iPhoto problem i am having

I today imported 5 photos into aperture, i done keywords and other metadata pictures are all jpeg large 12 MP images. I then go-to the new iphoto 09 and again select show Aperture library find the pictures and drag them into a album on iphoto for easy uploading to facebook etc 3 of the pictures in iphoto when clicked are good clear images the other two when clicked are poor quality scaled down images why?. I thought the masters were left within aperture, and iphoto just loads them from AP. Can somebody explain ?

For most folks using the Previews is pefectly good. And bearing in mind what Facebook will do to the shots there’s no doubt that the Previews will be perfectly adequate.
You can set the quality of the Previews in the Aperture Preferences -> Preview Pane.
If you want to use full size pics then you’ll need to export from Aperture and then import to iPhoto. However, if Facebook is the destination then that’s utterly pointless. From what I’ve seen no matter what you upload they compress the cr*p out of it, strip the metadata and colour management.
