Aperture Brushes still slow on maxed out imac i7 will it ever change
Why are brushes still slow to No Go. I have an imac 3.4 i7 with 32G ram and 2g video card but still brushes are a major issue and can't be used in any professional manner because of the time involved in waiting and waiting.
Does anyone know what's going on and if it will ever be addressed by apple?
thanks
skye27,
there must be a reason for the slowness in your setup.
As long as we do not know more about your versions, the location of the Aperture library, the location of any referenced files, the image file format of your original master images, it is hard to suggest anything.
Slowness can be caused ack of space on your drive, a corruption of your Aperture library, by network access, etc.
Check, if you are having the same problem when using a new Aperture library or working from a different user account.
This will narrow down the problem a bit for easier trouble shooting.

Léonie

Tried all the repairs suggested, removed mounted drives... STILL so slow it's useless. Don't see anything in "Activities". Not sure what to try next. 20,000 images, 65GB space available on drive.
Hard drives slow as they fill so make sure the main drive stays less than an arbitrary 70% full.
My expectation is that you have inadequate RAM in that relatively old box for most Aperture workflows, but IMO each of us should empirically evaluate whether or not we have adequate RAM:
Look at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical long Aperture work session and write the number down. Recheck the Page Outs count after working and write the number down again. If the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved. Ignore the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor.
If your test and calculation showed that page outs increased at all during operation you can
• add RAM (very strongly recommended).
Personally IMO increasing RAM to 8-16 GB from OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/ or from Crucial is a no-brainer at today's prices. I found my 2011 MBP ran Aperture alone fine under 8 GB RAM but Aperture + concurrent Photoshop would page out, so I upgraded to 16 GB RAM.
• and/or simply try to run Aperture by itself, especially no browsers open
• Restart before Aperture work sessions to clear possible memory leaks
• and/or switch from 64-bit operation to 32-bit operation (which will make some additional RAM space available). I do not recommend this, but see Switching Kernels:

Just wondering why we can't rent certain movies off ITunes store, when those movies are already out on DVD - will we ever be able to rent them?

Dear Apple Support Community.
As mentioned by a number of users reporting the same problem, my 2009 iMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, has become extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since it was migrated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (OS 10.9 then OS 10.9.1).
I have already run CleanMyMac, deleted 5GB of useless stuffs, which did not translate into any improvement. Following the advices collected in other Apple Support Community threads, I have applied EtreCheck the outcome of which is provided below.
For information, I have also upgraded my 2011 MacBook CPU2.3 GHz Core i7, 8GB which became only a bit slower than before, sometimes freezing which it almost never did before. However, I am used to the fact that Mac get usually slower and more prompt fo freeze after upgrading to a more recent OS.
Both my 2009 iMac and my 2011 MacBook have F-Secure installed. So the problem with the 2009 IMac is unlikly to be due to the presence of F-Secure. Interestingly, the few abnormalities found by Etrecheck were exacly identical before I ran CleanMyMac. There are two more findings (mentioned below) since I ran CleanMyMac on the 2009 iMac, which again didn't improve the problem.
So please find below the details of the EtreCheck experience and some additional measurements made with iStat while running EtreCheck:

Please find now some additional measurements collected with iStat while running EtreCheck:
Practically:
The iMac can work slowly with only one software e.g. either Mail or Safari or Firefox, but still the below "out of Memory" message occurs about every 3 minutes.
Aperture has becomre to slow to be useable
If trying to write a mail (with Mail) while Safari or Firefox is open, then the "out of Memory" message occurs about every 20 seconds so I need to check on "Resume" several times per minute.
Conclusions
From the above, unless anyone in the Apple Support Community proves to be able to identify a specific problem leading to a way to find a cure, I tend to conclude that Mavericks is not suitable for computers operating with a Core 2 Duo CPU even with a 8GB of RAM.
Unless I missed something, I did not see any warning from Apple Computer Inc. informing their customers they should refrain from upgrading Core 2 Duo Computers.
The only solution I see so far is to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion. And the Apple Support Community would confirm that it is the only solution, I would appreciate to get your guidance on how to proceed.
Intended action plan
Migrate the above 2009 iMac to a 2014 Mac Mini Server operating on Mavericks to ensure that no data may be lost while downgrading to Montain Lion.
Provided the above downgrading operation is successful, assign this 2009 iMac to partial retirement e.g. Mail, Skype, iTunes and DVD player.
In advance, I would like to thank the Apple Community for helping me either i) finding a cure to the problem, ii) or confirming that Mavericks cannot operate properly on Core 2 Duo computers, iii) and in such a case, guiding me on how to downgrade to Mountain Lion.
Yours sincerely
Core... what anti-virus would you recommend using?
Use what is already included with OS X. It already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind. -
After upgrading to 10.5.4, CPU keeps maxing out and system runs slower
Hi there,
I upgraded to 10.5.4 last week and quite frequently my CPU starts revving up and stays at a high level until I put my iMac to sleep. When I did my weekly reboot last Friday it seemed to not have the problem for a while, but then it came back again pretty quick. By checking Activity Monitor I found out that my resources are maxed out all the time, I've got about 80% CPU attached to Safari right now. Applications seem to load slower, everything runs a bit slower when it's like this.
I found under System Preferences > Energy Saver that I had my Processor Performance set to Highest, so I switched that to Automatic, but I'm still having this problem.
Can anyone help me with this?
TravisThank you, Pondini, that's all I was really asking about in the 3 (4) previous messages. I wanted to know if I could download the combo updater and install it over top of the 10.5.4 version I downloaded through Software Update. Thanks for the confirmation. I did download it this morning after getting your post and have installed it.
Initially, after installation and reboot of the combo update 10.5.4, my CPU maxed out again for a little while, and I checked Activity Monitor and it said a program called "Pattern ?" was hogging the CPU, the ? refers to a second word that I didn't write down at the time, I think it started with the letter M.
I had my iMac turned off for a couple hours after that. When I turned it back on, I was ripping 4 CD's into iTunes and so it sounded like the CPU was running high again through that, but I think that's typical for when I'm ripping a CD. Anyhow, right now the CPU is running normal, about 20% of total cycles used and that Pattern ? whatever program has disappeared from the list. So maybe that was something that the Combo Updater 10.5.4 was using to fix a problem and it might be back to normal again.
So, so far so good, thanks to the people here who have helped. I will post again if the problem persists.
Also, Pondini, thanks for reminding me to check posts in the forum for information. I almost always do that initially, before I post my question. I did that this time, but I had no idea at the time that downloading the combo updater would be the solution as I was scanning the forum for people who had spiking CPU's, not any other type of problem. I suppose in hindsight, after finding that combo updater might be a possible solution to my problem I should have ended this thread and sought new information, posed a new question / post if necessary. But like you say, I would have found other posts about installing combo updater.

Maxed out Mac Pro (nearly new) DEAD SLOW - why???
*I have always been a PC guy (animation and film production is what I do -- www.speedbumpstudios.com) but I decided to bite the bullet and go Mac. I maxed out my Mac Pro-- if it's available, I got it. It's a 15,000 machine. Great. So I've had it for a few months and the thing is so dead slow I am finding it almost unusable. My three year old PC laptop kicks its butt. Here are the symptoms.*
*Opening Photoshop takes anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes. Once it is open, if I try to open a file, it takes another couple of minutes for the finder to pop up so I can search for it.*
*iTunes regularly hangs and/or takes several minutes to load. My iPod, which is also new, sometimes cannot even connect to it (error).*
*HP scanning software takes minutes to open. Once the scan is ready to be saved, it takes minutes for finder to even offer the option to name the new file.*
*Almost all the software on this thing starts up painfully slow.*
*IMPORTANT: I have noticed that the machine runs almost all right immediately after a restart. The longer it runs, the worse these symptoms get.*
*ALSO IMPORTANT: -- I had been running Boot Camp on the machine, allowing me to boot into Windows XP. Recently bought Parallels and ran that. While this Mac never ran great, the problems seemed to get markedly worse at that point. I have since, out of desperation, removed Parellels completely, but the problems persist.*
*I am, of course, sick about how much I am paying for this machine that is supposed to be the best available and it about as useful as a boat anchor. WHAT SHOULD I DO!?*George, I feel your pain. I too have a maxed out Mac Pro;
Mac Pro - 8 Core (Dual Quad-Core 3GHz)
16GB RAM (Crucial Memory)
4x 750GB Drives
ATI 1900x Vid Card
2x 30" Cinema Displays
etc etc etc .... I even have a 2-port eSATA cables installed (OWC) with a 1.5TB external drive (Iomega, and fast as the dickens!)
My machine has been in the Apple repair facilities THREE times so far (I am working with an executive relations person for 3 months now) and we are about to swap it out for a new machine because the term "ghosts in the machine" apply to many Mac Pros. In fact, the last time Apple fixed this machine was yesterday, replacing a bluetooth module, and as soon as I booted the machine it started having kernel panics (for the first time), we thought it was the RAM Riser cards being seated wrong... after making sure everything was seated properly, and doing a complete OS reinstall, it is still kernel panic-ing every hour (if I let the machine sit quietly)...so, there is a ghost in this machine that does not want to go away.
To get your situation though, MY machine has ALWAYS been much slower than the dual-G5 I replaced last April. You are not alone here. This is an 8-Core machine, ran Tiger slow and is now running Leopard only about 20% faster, which is still slower than the G5. Makes me want to cry sometimes because I paid, what, $1300 for the processor upgrade alone?
Something is wrong with your machine. I suppose you have already tried to reinstall, reformat your drives, correct permissions, etc and still found your machine wanting in the ways of speed, right? What you need to do is to contact Apple Executive Relations and tell them what is going on. Once they see that you ordered such an expensive machine (no one buys extra RAM from Apple so they will sympathize right there!) they WILL contact you and work with you until your problem is solved. The only reason they have not replaced MY machine yet (they will usually do so after the 2nd or 3rd repair attempt) is because in my case I cannot afford the downtime. Now, however, I think we have to because no one can figure out why this machine is having panics after sitting still for an hour.
Anyway, be assured this is NOT representative of Apple or the Mac Pro speed. Mac Pro's are plenty fast, and unbelievably fast with newer, Intel-based software (CS3), and even though Leopard has many many bugs it is faster than Tiger. My partner has the same machine as I do and it is so fast I think it does most of his work before he even arrives in the morning.
Work with Apple, let them fix your machine or replace it. They will. -
IMac G5 gray screen on startup and fan maxes out!! Help!
I've heard this problem quite a bit on several forums, but have yet to find an answer. I Need help!! My iMac G5 delays on startup ( i hit the button, and startup doesn't actually start for a minute or 2), and when it does, i get the gray screen, and then after another minute, the fan goes crazy and maxed out until I manually shut down. I reset the memory, and check the LED lights, (all came on normally). What's going on here!? I appreciate any help
If the troubleshooting solutions listed in Mac 101 were of no help & you found no solutions to your problem(s) listed in the various Knowledge Base Articles see if the following suggestions are of any help:
Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices/peripherals from your computer.
Step 1: Restart into Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key during startup. The comp will run a complete & lengthy file systtem check, then start up w/only the required kerenel extensions & w/o running any Startup items tthat you installed.
If you are running OS 10.4 it will also perform some font finagling.
Try starting up normally again. If you are still stalling, restart in Safe Mode & move on to Step 2...........
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Step 2: Open Library>Startup items folder-the root level Library, not the one in your user name folder.
Look for potentially problematic 3rd party items such as virus scanning software components, etc. Remove 1 or more items to a location outside the Library folder, such as the Desktop, then restart normally & see if your Mac stalls. It it does, try removing all the items in the Startup items folder & restart. If all’s now well, place the items back into the Startup items folder 1 by 1, restarting each time you put one back. If and/or when the stall resurfaces, you just identified the faulty component.
If the above does not work, then it’s time to move on to Step 3.................
Step 3: WARNING-This step can be tedious-removing .plist files from the /Library/Preferences folder.
Remove the entire Preferences folder from the Library folder on your startup drive then place the files back 1 by 1 until you see the problem return. *The Mac will automatically create a new Preferences folder in the Library folder*
Alternatively, you can take half of the items out (all non-Apple .plist file, for example), restart to see if your Mac stalls, then move to a smaller set of items, repeatingn the process until the culprit is found.
Or you can use Preferential Treatment which is a FREE utility that does all the work for you.
Hang in there & good luck!!!! -
So very excited bought iPad and new speakers today! Want to get all my music sorted as across iMac (G5), MacBook os 10.6 (maxed out ram and memory) and old iPod. Saw Match would be an option but can't use due to old OS so I can get the raw music library files but then what do I do to get all in one place? Any help appreciated.
A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook. You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices. iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
Two major benefits:
1. From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
2. You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match, Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe. -
Crazy to buy a maxed out late 2013 iMac now?
Was waiting to see if there would be any update but alas, no. Not sure I want to be an early adopter of a retina 27" iMac. Looking at a nearly maxed out non-retina (aka late 2013) 27" iMac. Only about $400 less than similar equipped retina model. Am I crazy or what? Use is just home computing and home video/photo editing. I just looked at retina 27 in store. I can see the difference if I try I don't see point in waiting for next gen chips either.
I just did something similiar. I waited and waited for the Retina iMac to be released before I made my final iMac decision. I was on board for even max'ing out the Retina iMac until I learned it would not support Target Display Mode. I already own a Macbook Pro w/Retina. And while I understand not seeing 5k each and every time, I expected (current technology limitations or not) the Target Display Mode to simply reproduce the same resolution as the Macbook Pro when connected via Thunderbolt.
Once I learned that the Retina iMac did not work as a secondary monitor I made my Late-2013 iMac decision. I understand where you are coming from because I had the same 'fears'.
It kills me to not have the 5k version when it exists, but last year's version (including TDM functionality) fit my day to day needs better.

Which 3rd party ram can I buy to max out my imac 2.93ghz i7 without the imac shutting down?
Which 3rd party ram can I buy to max out my imac 2.93ghz i7 without the imac shutting down? I know and apple knows that there is an issue with this but, I'm wondering if there is anyone here that has solved this issue. Apple wants waaaaay too much for 16 gigs of memory.
There was an issue with mid/late 2010 iMacs mostly, as evidenced in one of the threads:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2588800
However, I'm not aware of any current or remaining problems. I have a mid 2010 iMac and solved the problem by sticking with a total of 12 GB RAM (4 GB OEM original and 2 x 4 GB added from OWC). So, if you're not sure, contact OWC - they were actively working on the problem last year and if you buy 16 GB from them and they don't work, you can easily return it. Or, be super safe, and stick with a total of 12 GB - I'm finding that 12 is really quite enough even though I do a fair amount of photo, graphics, and video editing. -
My computer is still slow after uninstalling Macbook pro and buying a LaCie external hard drive and saving everything to it. I repaired disk permissions. Am I supposed to erase original hard drive?
Thanks!Not yet, get a second hard drive, or a second medium to backup your data. You never want there to be less than two copies of your data at anytime. If for some reason one fails, you'll always want a backup. Clone with Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Note, if you have an early 2008 Mac, it is not PPC, but rather Intel. PPC indicates the chip is G3, G4, or G5. You can double check this by going to Apple menu and selecting About This Mac. Once you verified your Mac, I can ask a moderator to move this thread, so you don't have to crosspost.

I need a program where I can remove objects and touch up dead grass, etc.
Reviews say Aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?
To add on to Corky02 answer:
The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or ill-designedAperture databases.
Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

Very slow startup on 2010 iMac
Hi
I have a medio 2010 iMac 27" and it's a great computer. Still very fast and plenty of power.
From one day to another though, it started booting incredibly slow. Not that I'm sure, but I suspect to begin from right around the time I upgraded to Mavericks. The boot doesn't seem to get slow until it hits OSX (desktop view). But from here on it takes forever until I can start opening programs. Sure I can click the icons in the dock, but the program doesn't open til loooooong after. It never results in a crash... it just takes forever. I estimate the time from when I press the power button till I can start using the computer is around 10 minutes!!!
Then when it's done with the long startup, it works perfectly. No delay or stall what so ever. Just as quick and powerful as ever.
Of course I have tried many things already:
unplugging all peripheral devices
clean up in start-up items
using CleanMyMac
rebooting from "start disk" in system settings
running controll/repair disk permitions and controll/repair disk from disk utilities
resetting the PRAM (cmd+alt+P+R during boot)
this solution as well: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23467 1
None of it seems to help. I have been encouraged to try to have someone look at my system startup log from the console to see if anything can be discovered from there. Can anyone help me with this? Or maybe someone has another idea for a solution?!
The system startup log goes like this:

PLEASE HELP! Aperture becomes MISERABLY slow after performing perfectly.
Posting on this forum is my absolute last resort, but I am absolutely desperate.
I am a professional photographer who works on Aperture for hours daily. I made the switch to Aperture from a Bridge-based workflow a few months ago. Ever since I started importing all of my past work into Aperture, I have been dealing with radically inconsistent performance which is, literally, causing me days of delays, and thousands of dollars in missed work.
*Here is how I am set up.* All of my images are being referenced on a WD My Book via FireWire 800 connection directly to my computer - no daisy chaining. It is a 1TB drive, and it is referencing about 75,000 photos - mostly RAW. I did this to maintain a traditional file hierarchy incase I didn't have access to Aperture. My Aperture library folder is stored on my iMac's main HD. When I started using Aperture, I had an 20" iMac 2.4Ghz with 2GB RAM, and a Radeon 256MB video card - which definitely exceeds the minimum system requirements.
*When I first open up Aperture,* it runs beautifully. Quickly cycling though images, making snappy adjustments, exporting to Photoshop, and saving quickly. Absolutely everything I love it for. I would say after about 15-30 minutes of usage, the program slows to a near halt. Photoshop will slow down significantly, saving in Photoshop takes 30-45 seconds, and when I return to Aperture, images will load previews indefinitely, rendering adjustments useless without finagling. If I get adjustments to load, the adjustments are choppy and inconsistent. Exporting takes forever. Switching from project folders, creating galleries, changing viewing parameters - all unacceptably slow. It absolutely sabotages the performance of my computer. I end up having to completely restart the program to reacquire those glorious 15-30 minutes. This is all so strange considering initially, the program runs as it should! Perfectly! It is not that my computer isn't up to Aperture's specifications, or it would be slow(er) from launch.
*This is what I have done so far.* I initially checked the consistency of the Aperture library, as well as rebuilt the library (several times). This caused no improvement. I then contacted Apple via phone support which proved useless. I am convinced the support techs are doing nothing more than reading troubleshooting dialogue from the website, because we got nowhere. I then brought my iMac and external HD into the Apple Store to show them specifically what I was experiencing. After talking to a rather snippy store employee who gave me circular answers and then suggested that I "just return it," I requested the manager. He was pleasant, and kind enough to suggest a RAM upgrade, and provide it for free. I then had 4GB RAM, and considering I didn't have an opportunity to play with it more than 20 minutes in the store, I left hoping that would be the solution.
After getting back to my office and spending a considerable amount of time in the program, I saw that little progress was made. Yes, performance was certainly faster, especially for those 15-30 minutes, but the same problem resurfaced.
I suspected that it may be my WD external HD, considering I had loaded it's software after purchasing it. I suspected that considering it does have a sleep mode, an auto-off mode and a "capacity gauge," it may have gone into sleep mode as I was working on a file, and had to "wake up" when trying to save it, causing the workflow to go haywire. I proceeded to uninstall all of my WD software. I checked the drive's consistency, and I checked for errors via several high-end drive repair and recovery programs, and it was operating perfectly.
Even after this, I am still experiencing the SAME problem, and I am at a stand-still with NO idea what to do.
PLEASE! I am begging for any assistance. I can't work like this, and I can't bear switching to another (inferior) workflow.
Thank you!!Hi
I couldn't help feeling sympathetic to your situation. I dont wish to state the obvious, but have you done all the basic checks...Is this thread any help..

Updating to the latest version 10.5.4 could be a help. There is a new update available now 10.5.5 but I choose to let it settle down personally before I add it. Look at the forums and follow its progress before installing.
Hope you get things resolved... -
Aperture Brush-in is "off" while working, correct on export?
I have a photo where the subject needs to be "lightened" as she was in shadows, while the background needs to remain at the current exposure. I've done this on several other photos in the set using a Curves block, brushing over the subject entirely, and adjusting the exposure on the subject that way.
On this picture, however, I notice that if I am brushing in WYSIWYG mode, when I brush something "on", the brushed area "shifts" over a few pixels. It is very possible that this is also happening on my other pictures, but due to the level of adjustment I'm doing with this particular photo it's most apparent here, ending up with a dark/light halo all around her.
This is very hard to deal with, as it then looks like my brushes are including too much or too little. If I use the "Color Overlay" the brush appears to match up perfectly, but, again, if I switch from the perfectly-matched overlay into WYSIWYG mode (or deselect the brush-in block altogether), what is shown on screen is again "shifted" but just in the brushed-in areas. However, if I export the photo to JPEG, it uses what I see with "Color Overlay" and the output is perfect. I also notice that areas where I've used the brush-smoothing tool to smooth out the transition from brushed to not brushed show up as 100% brushed on in the "zoomed out" on-screen preview, and at any of the predefined views (Command-+) they draw correctly.
As it stands, I can't use the Aperture view of this photo to show the client, as it looks like she's been cut out by a kindergartner and pasted in again. I also can't give this picture my standard level of attention as each adjustment requires making an export-check-try again round-trip to get it right!
Are these graphics glitches normal? I've tried this on my 27" iMac as well as my year-old 15" MacBook Pro, and while the specific offsets differ, I am seeing the same effect.
I've tried deleting and regenerating the preview, but it remains just as ghastly after regenerating it.
Help!Thanks for the suggestions.
I've been brushing in at 100, 200, and 300%; this is the only way for my not-fit-for-surgery hands to get a pixel-perfect mask brushed on! Yes, the worst visual glitches show up when the images is just "fit to screen" (when the "smoothed" area all turns to 100% brushed on).
My system's the top-of-the-line (this April) 27" iMac i7 with Radeon 4850 graphics and 8GB of RAM. I suppose I could be over-taxing it with a brushed-on curves block, but that seems like a lot of system for such a small adjustment.
That having been said, I'll try doing the same brushes on less system-taxing adjustments like dodge/burn instead of a full Curves and see if that's the cause (I can't do what I'm trying to do with these pictures with a straight dodge/burn adjustment, though, so I'll have to go back to using the Curves and just live with Aperture not being WYSIWYG for it, or try out Lightroom to see if that can handle a Curves adjustment better even though I really don't like the rest of the Lightroom interface or workflow!)
Again, thanks for the suggestions, it at least gives me something to try!
