Aperture full screen mode has an annoying imperfection.

Hello I wonder if anyone can help?
I use Apperture 2 for creating a catalogue of my paintings. On the viewer window, when in full screen mode, there is a bright white tiny window on the bottom of the selected image. This little window has two arrows on it.
Is there any way of eliminating or at least fading this window, so that it does not detract from the image?
Thank you
Robin Cecil-Wright.

Thank you RB
When I do what you said it changes the arrows and instead I get details of the photograph. I am attaching a screen shot as you suggested. Well that is I have tried to, but I don't quite know how to !I /Users/robincecil-wright/Desktop/Picture 4.png/Users/robincecil-wright/Desktop/Picture 4.jpg

Issue with Aperture full screen mode on HD 5870

I have a very strange problem with Aperture, which may be linked to the HD 5870 and it's probably faulty drivers and would be very grateful if somebody with the same hardware could try this out if he/she can replicate this behavior:
I have a brand new 6-core with the 5870 optional card using a dual display setup (ACD 23" and NEC PA241W).
Whenever I enter full screen mode and activate the brushes, the image on the full screen monitor is reduced in size to about 70% of the full screen resolution. This also gets triggered, when I use the HUD display ("H" key) and lock the floating window on the browser display.
It's a bit hard to describe, but anybody with the same or similar setup, please try this:
- enter full screen mode in Aperture by hitting "F"
- press "H" and lock the window using the small slider in the upper right corner
- activate any of the quick brushes, like dodge or burn
Is your image, which is displayed full screen on the main monitor, getting smaller in size or is it starting to flicker a bit, getting darker? If yes, we have a universal bug here.
I could narrow the problem down in a sense, that it does not matter if either screen is hooked up using the DVI or the Mini-Display-Port. It also happens when I switch the main screen over to the other, so it's (fortunately) not a problem of my new NEC display, the ACD shows the same behavior.
My best guess right now is some kind of bug in Aperture combined with a faulty driver of the HD 5870.
Any help here is greatly appreciated.

People have said that Aperture library benefits from, and should not be, on the boot drive, and placing on SSD or alternate drive, maybe RAID 0 in some cases.
64-bit kernel mode helps overcome some of the limitations and obstacles when working with large data sets, which is why I always kept data off the system and placed on RAID 0 which does improve system responsiveness.
If you have already done that and taken steps to optimize your storage layout hard to imagine it is a graphic driver.
And I would limit removing caches to just Aperture's own, though can't hurt to clean out the system's, that is something that SuperDuper will do if you use it, as it doesn't copy those and just skips caches and temp files best rebuilt (but does not touch user caches).
And a touch of Disk Warrior just for good preventative maintenance measure of course.

Full Screen Mode has letterbox effect

Hopefully this is an easy one and I am just missing something, but when I open a photo in full screen mode it does not fill the entire screen. Instead, there is a title bar on top, an editing bar on the bottom and a fairly large blank area on either side that frames the photo like a letterbox effect on TV.
What am I doing wrong? (In case it matters, the camera used was a Nikon D40.) In the past with iPhoto 09 these photos would fill the entire screen of my MacBook Pro, now, not so much. (My desktop wallpaper, for example, is a photo taken with the same camera, and it fills the entire area of my MBP's screen; how can I get that same effect when I open a photo in iPhoto '11?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's been over a day and a half and no responses. No love for an old friend?
Anyone with any ideas, please reply.
Thanks.

What's with Aperture full screen mode and Books?

That is, what the heck Apple, why no full screen book layout? I've used Lightroom from its beginning, and I'm quite happy with if for what it does, which of course doesn't include books. I first tried iPhoto, which has really nice full screen book layout, but is crippled by limitations for customization. It's just too restrictive for what I'd like to do. So I downloaded a trial copy of Aperture. I found that it has has all of the customization I need, but the UI is not very good, and the lack of full screen results in lots of wated screen space.
Just venting.

I agree, but tell Apple about it: Aperture Feedback:

Please help, cannot compare images in full screen mode

I am not able to compare 2 images in full screen mode. I am using a MBP and a ACD 23". The main image will remain in the ACD while the image being compare is being shown in the MBP.
I am able to compare images in the viewer mode.
My main display is the ACD 23 which I selected using the display preferences under 'Arrangement' with the menu bar located on the ACD. In Aperture, Secondary Viewer is set to Blank.
I had also tried different combinations of Main Viewer and Secondary Viewer settings but was not successful.
Am I missing something? Anyone have the solution?Thanks in advance for any help.

Anyone have any suggestions to using Aperture to edit images using a MBP and ACD so that it best utilize Aperture full screen mode in comparing and narrowing down to the pick.
I am now trying to use the MBP as the main display and ACD as the secondary. This way I am able to compare images with the MBP in the Browser mode and the ACD display the compare images full screen. It work with the secondary display - ACD set to mirror, span and alternate mode.
It would be best if only one screen is use and hence save energy consumption (reducing global warming and bill, if it help).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or and solutions.

Disable Full Screen Mode

I've finally gotten my mother-in-law comfortable with her Mac and now Full Screen Mode has thrown her for a loop. She will inadvertently go into Full Screen and then never remembers how to get out of it.
Is there a way to set System Preferences so that none of the applications will go into full screen mode?

I can't find one either, like many new Lion features this only gets activated by accident and its a struggle each time to make it go away.

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

Aperture 3.1 - Love Full Screen Mode, Hate The System Lock-Ups

Hi Guys,
I don't know if I'm the only person encountering this issue but Aperture 3 is driving me nuts. While I absolutely love the program and the full-screen mode, what I hate is the frequent lock-ups that force me to completely restart my iMac. Having the application lock-up is highly annoying but at least in "normal" mode I could kill the application from the Dock or Activity Monitor. However, when I'm operating in full-screen mode then I can't switch out of the application and seem to have no option but to completely restart my computer. This problem, which I first started experiencing with version 3.0 but which does seem to have been addressed in version 3.1, is happening so often that I'm afraid now to even use full-screen mode.
This problem only, to my memory, seems to happen when making adjustments but it does not seem to matter which adjustment. In the most recent occurrence the lock-up happened when I cancelled the application of a Crop by clicking the X icon on the Crop HUD.
Does anyone know either a) what might be causing the lock-ups, or b) how I can kill Aperture without having to completely restart my computer?

You could also set up SPACES to see if that works when lock up occurs in full screen
Apple Icon > System Preference > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot corners
I have bottom left set to spaces
Then drop the mouse to bottom left, 4 windows appear, drag aperture to a seperate window and run there, you desktop is in a different space and can be accessed by bottom left of screen mouse movement (if the mouse works when A3 locks up)

Aperture in full screen mode seems to crash MacBook Pro with Retina

To anyone who has an idea;
I have a brand new (couple months old) 15" MacBook Pro w Retina (16GB RAM, 2.3GHz i7) and I can repeatedly crash it just by running Aperture in a full screen mode and flipping through the photos (I have 21000+ photos and I was cleaning them so it required a lot of flipping back and forth, deleting but no editing). It appears as if it was running out of RAM and not releasing it back. I have all the latest updates installed (always) and I know this is not related to my machine since within the first week of having it I noticed a dent on my screen and Apple sent me a brand new machine. I could replicate this behaviour on both machines.
To mitigate the restarts, I use FreeMemory Pro app set at "freeing" RAM once it drops to 4GB but if I push the Aperture too fast (and I do not mean major editing but just simply going through many photos in full screen mode, viewing them), I still crash it.
I was wondering if there is anyone else with something similar and if you have any tips. I have reported it to Apple.

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same hard- and software configuration like you, Gordito73 - up to date of course as well. Aperture continues to crash after it really seams to run out of memory while editing lots of photos with many different effects. -.-

Aperture 3 - Full screen mode "stuck"

Apologies if this subject is being discussed elsewhere; all I've found are a few orphaned threads with no answers.
The problem: when I toggle into full-screen mode (for, say a single image) I cannot exit. The only way to get out of it is to quit Aperture.
This has persisted for a few weeks now and is making the program almost unusable. Any thoughts/advice?
Thank you,
David

Trashing the prefs worked like a charm. Thanks for the quick and almost painless solution.

Full screen mode broken in Aperture since Lion update?

Just been testing and it seems Lion or something has messed up Full Screen mode in Aperture. Any one else getting the same?

I click top right icon or hit 'F' and it eventually loads to the browser window but the dock is on top. I scroll with 'V' to get to desired view. Usually a beachball for 10 secs.
Leaving full screen mode using 'F' goes to black screen and just hangs or shows normal mode which then fades and goes back to black. Hitting Esc to get out gives me a black screen and nothing happens too.
Only way out is to use scroll left gesture on Magic mouse to get back to desktop. have to quit Aperture to get back to normal mode.
And repeat...

Aperture screwing with brightness in full screen mode

For some reason whenever I go into full screen mode Aperture keeps adjusting the brightness of my images. Every time I do anything it first looks "normal" then the brightness gets jacked up a few percentage points. When I turn on the Loupe, the image shown inside the loupe is darker (as it should be) as this odd "auto brightness" effect doesn't show up there. When not in full screen mode this doesn't happen. Saving the photo results in the correct image as well. So long story short this is only happening in full screen mode.
I tried disabling the "On screen proofing" but it doesn't seem to have an effect. This is driving me nuts because I have no way to see the ACTUAL image until I save it! Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Another update: I changed my external display to "default" in ColorSync Profiles as recommended in another thread, still have the same problem.
I have now noticed that this phenomenon only occurs when the image being displayed on screen has to be scaled down to fit - so apparently there is something going on with Aperture's image preview being created on the fly?

Aperture 3.5 Full Screen mode really buggy

Let's try this again....
I'm looking for anyone else having this problems to see if they have found a work around.
I have been having several intermittent problems with Aperture 3.5 in full screen mode with Mavericks. Most of the time, it's ok. But now and then, it seems to get stuck on something. When I swipe to go back to another application, it goes to my widget's panel, not the desktop. Swiping up to get mission control, I see the desktop and go to it. That really messes aperture up. You go back into it and its a black screen. I try to get out by pressing F and sometimes it works, sometimes not. When it DOES work, I will select an image in the browsers and strangely enough, the screen goes black and it goes back into full screen mode. Kind of a mess.
Additionally, the entire app seems to drag. Selecting an image make take 3-5 seconds for it to switch from the one it is on to the one I selected. And I'm using a fully loaded top processor speed/max memory 27" iMac from last year.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a work around?

Thanks, both.
I did try it and it somewhat changes the problem, but it is still there. The full screen system seems to get messed up and when it does, it can't seem to get out of it totally. When it starts singing daisy in full screen mode and you get it to exit full screen mode, the top menu disappears and selecting anything (even empty gray space) within the app sends it back into full screen mode, but once here, nothing responds to user action (can't select images from the browser, the HUD is unresponsive, etc). A few other quirks I can't nail down with any consistency.
The only way I have found to avoid it is to completely exit the application, reboot, restart it and never go into full screen mode. It's still a little more sluggish that it should be, but at least I can do my work and get things to clients. Entering full screen mode just seems to be too buggy for practical purposes so far.

Aperture Performance Sluggish When in Full Screen Mode

Hi
I have an iMac 3.06 GHz with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS:with 512 MB of VRAM and 4GB of RAM and every time I go to Aperture's fullscreen mode performance is sluggish. When I click on buttons with my mouse it takes them about 3 to 5 seconds to actually realize they've been clicked. Also when I try to adjust something in a HUD, it takes forever to register my command. I would love to be able to use full screen mode because of my big screen on my iMac but it's really not worth it if it's this slow.
All help appreciated
Thanks in advance

My problem has been solved. It was just my particular photo.

Annoying single page view in full screen mode

I have checked the “Enable Scrolling” in the “View/Page Display” menu to have a continuous page flow (with gaps between pages) and avoid page bouncing when moving from the bottom of a page to the top of the next page. It works as expected when in windowed mode but not in full screen mode.
- Why isn’t it possible to have continuous page flow (with gaps between pages) when in full screen mode? It is as if Adobe Reader disregards the “View/Page Display” menu preferences and always reverts to “Single Page View” when in full screen mode!
- Also it would be nice to have an option to display a vertical scroll bar to the extreme right of the screen in full screen mode to be able to quickly scroll the document.
These two features are the primary ones that make me still using Foxit-Reader instead of Adobe Reader albeit Foxit-Reader has a lower PDF rendering quality.
Regards
ZC.

I have same problem.
In Full Screen Mode , most functions are *NOT* working. For example , Show/Hide Menu Bar , Show/Hide Toolbars etc. Even use keyboard shortcut , they just *NOT* working.
I am wondering is any chance to make Show/Hide Menu Bar , Show/Hide Toolbars working on Full Screen Mode ?
At least , please add some keyboard shortcut to change Page Display .
Best Regards,
Adobe Reader version : 10.0.3
OS version : Mac OS X 10.6.7
