Aperture is resetting my curves adjustments

FIrst, I'm using Aperture 3.4.3 with all the other latest system software updates (there, got that out of the way).
I often use Aperture's auto-enhance function as a start to image adjustments. Just today when I started Aperture and started in on my latest project, I noticed that all of the curves adjustments are being reset - sort of: the curves brick isn't reset to its default or starting state, rather it removes the S-curve and assigns new black & white points.
During investigating this I found ApertureExpert.com's article on auto-curves ("New Auto-Curves Behavior & Getting the Old Way Back") and it seems as though it is reverting to the "old" curves adjustment.
Why is that?
The only thing I've done (in between my original adjustments and today when I discovered they are being reset) is repaired and then rebuilt the library because I had a problem where Aperture "lost" many originals. These steps didn't fix that problem & I had to connect the files manually.
So, any ideas if I can fix my curves problem and any idea why it happened?

--Kirby, possibly blinded by all the snow we've been having.
I saw your beautifully framed snow-picture in the other thread. And we have plenty of snow today too, so we are in this together.
Kirby, I think what is happening is comparable to the problem with the Highlights & Shadows brick. If the Aperture library needs the olde-tyme Curves, because it contains an image, that has the old adjustments, then we will see the older "Curves"
How to not miss that olde-tyme Highlights & Shadows 7-slider Brick
So I doubt that reinstalling will help, because the effect depends on the image versions in the library. A new library would help in this case, only how to transfer the contents of the current library to the new library, without the one image that has been causing the reversion?
wouldn't saving as an Effect save and apply the parameters and not the "auto" algorithm?
My hope is, that this will save the new new effect, - like in your tip in the post above.
But I have never seen this happen to the Curves, so I am open for all suggestions.

Aperture is reseting all my curves! HELP!

I'm not sure what is happening, but this is a major crisis!!! For some reason starting today, aperture is reseting all my curves adjustments! What would happen is, when I click on a picture to view it the curve would should momentarily for half a second (I could even be able to see the actual curve on the left) and then after that aperture would reset it. It doesn't reset it to the default state, what it would do is set the left and right slider to match the lowest blacks and highest white. Please help me, how do I stop this? I don't want to retouch my entire photo library!

Thanks for your feedback, I'll try to answer all those questions:
I'm using latest version of OSX.
I'm using latest version of Aperture.
I applied the curves adjustments by using the curves brick. Sometimes I use effects/presets that put in their own curves.
I use the niksoftware plugins sometimes, but it basically creates a new file so it doesn't really have anything to do with the curves.
I have no upgraded aperture recently, or installed anything. However two things I did in the past few days:
1) Aperture crashed randomly at one time. I just relaunched it and it seems to run just fine so I just continued.
2) Aperture imported some photos from my camera and it says "Raw format not recognized" so what I did was rebuilt my database (by holding option+alt when launching). Afterwards the unrecognized images are shown.
My entire library is managed, no references. I only shoot RAW.
I have a time machine backup but no vaults. I'm going to roll back to a time machine version 3-4 days ago and see if the curves is still a problem. I will report back.

Aperture has lost all my adjustments

aperture has lost all my adjustments from a project.. a weeks eyestraining work

Thanks for getting back to me.
Nothing to tell other than having worked very hard on a project shoot of 570 pics. Some, not all, of the pics have lost all the adjustments I individually applied. Cannot understand how that could happen.
I am using the library, on an external hard drive, that I always use.
If I had switched libraries, I would not be able to see the pics surely?
Thanks..

Aperture suddenly acting buggy: photo adjustments not showing up

Aperture has starting acting really oddly. The primaryt thing I've noted is that when I make adjustments, frequently they aren't being reflected in the image shown (as if the "preivew" isn't being updated. I know the adjustments are doing something, since the histogram curves change as I'm making changes. Moreover, if I toggle between the master and the version, no change is displayed (although the histograms do change).
The above behavior happens about 80% of the time, with the other 20% of the time things act normally. I can't determine any pattern to when things work or don't work.
I tried deleting all the previews and recreating them all, thinking maybe there was some issue with the preview database. Alas, that didn't solve the problem.
Any ideas?

Argelius,
Please test with a new, small Library, and see if the same behavior persists. Also see:

Aperture 3.03 loosing brushed adjustments

After upgrading I have noticed that Aperture have a tenancy too loose adjustments that are brushed in. When looking at pictures I have brushed in adjustments earlier, I noticed that the adjustment now is applied to the whole picture, and the icon for "Begin brushing" is gone.
Anybody else noticing this?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Works for me when running Aperture 3.0.3 in 32bit mode. Are you running in 64bit mode? Care to try in 32bit mode to see if all is well there?
To change the mode to 32bit, in the Finder, selections Applications, control-click on Aperture, select Get Info, check the box for 32bit mode.

Does Aperture use custom Camera curves

Hi,
I'm wondering, I have setup a custom curve in my Nikon D2X for the level/contrast.
But it looks like Aperture does not read this information from the RAW file.
Does anybody know more about?

It's not supported.

Eyedropper tool isn't working correctly in Levels, Curves adjustments

I have installed PS CS 5 Extended on a new computer running Vista Home Premium. No other version of Photoshop has ever been installed on this system.
The problem that I am encountering is the eyedropper tools in both the curves, and levels adjustment doesn’t work. The actual sliders seem to work appropriately, but clicking an eyedropper and then clicking a spot on the photo has no effect at all on the image.
I do not encounter this problem when I run the 64 Bit version of the program. It only occurs in the standard version of CS5, which I need to continue to use due to plug-in incompatibility with the 64 bit version.
I’ve checked the obvious, and ensured that the “preview” box is checked, and that I have the correct layer selected!
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Not sure if it could be coming into play here, but the sample size for the Eyedropper Tool (proper) affects the use of the Eyedropper in other dialogs.
Do this:
1. Click the Eyedropper Tool in the Tools panel.
2. Right-click on the image, and choose Point Sample.
3. Now try your Curves function again.
A second possibility is that you have a small selection made somewhere, and the Curves operation is only affecting that, so you're not seeing the change overall. I know you said you checked everything, but you didn't mention checking for a Selection.
If these are not the issues, I have to wonder whether maybe something's wrong with your display driver. Since OpenGL is involved in making the display, perhaps an OpenGL problem could be blocking the ability for the eyedropper to pick up the color. What video card do you have and what version of the display driver?
You can test for OpenGL issues by temporarily deconfiguring the use of OpenGL Drawing:
1. Edit - Preferences - Performance
2. Uncheck [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing.
3. OK out and restart Photoshop.
4. Does the problem still occur? If so, a driver update may fix it.
Hope this helps.

App Error 200 - Reset, BB curve 8520

Hello,
While I was downloading the new BB software via BB desktop manager, my laptop suddenly closed. After that, when I re-opened my mobile, after reloading, the screen went blank with an "App Error 200 - Reset" in the middle of the screen. I tried pressing the reset button, but it repeats the same system again! How can I solve this problem?! Pleasee Help

Just enter an incorrect one 10 times and the phone will reset itself back to factory settings without a password and then you are good to go. (P.S: note that the device wont lock out it will start fresh as a new device). Have you made a back-up of your BB at any given point in time?
If so, then you can just load the backup through the Desktop Manager.
Please follow the below threads and would give you some more idea on the issue and a feasible solution if mine doesnot satisfy you:

Can I make Sharp Corners in Curves Adjustments?

Hi all. I'm making an illustration which will be printed using a process that does not hold fine detail well.
In fact I've been advised that anything below 13% will not print, so that the light ends of gradients for instance, will end in a hard line.
Accepting that is the case, i was hoping to make a curves adjustment to sit on top of my illustration to soft proof the 13% drop off.
I don't want to effect the rest of the image - just 'chop the end off' as it were. I've attached a pic of what I want in magenta - a sharp edged corner at the 13% mark. Is this possible? Or is there a better way?
CS4 BTW.

You may be able to approximate that by adding enough anchor points and manipulating the curve as you add each one:
However, I have no idea what it does to a CMYK image, as I only deal with RGB files myself.
Hope someone else has better ideas.

Factory Reset of curve 8520

Hi. new to this - so please bear with me.. My blackberry has a key(r) that is very light and constantly prints when hardly touched at all. Also, blackberry has started not holding charge and being impossible to switch on ( I have to take the battery out etc). I think they are all linked. If I do "restore factory defaults" will I lose all my email contact lists. Ps. I don't use the blackberry as a phone so I don't care about telephone contact lists. Help please!

Those symptoms are very likely not linked. The keyboard issue is a problem with the key or the keyboard, or both. Could be failure of the mechanism for that key, perhaps just worn out. Liquid exposure also causes key and button issues.
Battery not holding a charge could be battery is worn out. Trying another battery -- borrow one, I wouldn't buy one unless you are sticking with that model -- is what you want to do.
Trouble switching on could be button failure. Again, maybe worn out, maybe broken some how, or may be liquid exposure if you know you spilled something on the device.
Restore to factory may not change things. You can try; I'm just doubtful. Do a backup first. It will delete all data and settings and you will have to restore afterward.

How to completey delete (factory reset) my curve 9300

Hi,

Do you have Blackberry Protect? I used that to wipe everything off my phone, and then restore it again when it was all better. All the apps gone for good, but I got the contacts back. Except the BBM ones, for some reason.
I think you can do it from your Desktop Manager too, if you have that on your computer.

Is there a way to get Aperture to write changes made in Aperture itself (i.e. keywords, name changes, adjustments, etc) to ITPC automatically?

I have started creating a library in Aperture but can not see how to automatically link changes to keywords, name changes, adjustments, etc to the original image. Is this possible? Tess

The general workflow with Aperture is:
- import files
- make adjustments; add metadata
- make new image-format files that include the adjustments and metadata changes (this is what "Export" does).
You can, as Léonie instructs, write (most) of the metadata changes back to your Originals (these files are otherwise never changed by Aperture). Just be sure that your workflow benefits from it.
More specifically, in Aperture the Original (the file you import) is _always_ linked to the Version (for the time being, think of this as the images you see in Aperture, and keep in mind you can have as many Versions of any Original as you need), and any files you create by exporting blend the Original and the Version and produce an image-format file.
Because the Version and the Original are _always_ linked, there is usually (but not always ) no need to write the metadata held by the Version back over the metadata contained in the Original.
If you are new to Aperture, this very brief guide I wrote may help you avoid some common peregrinations.
