Aperture quick preview locks in after using Google/Nik to edit a photo

I'm not sure when this started happening, but I've recently been annoyed with very frequent restarts of Aperture being required. 
If i edit a photo with any of the Nik/Google programs, save it, and get back to my project full of photos...the quick preview stays locked onto the original of the photo I just editted.  It doesn't even update to the edit of it. I thought my library was large and bogging the system down or something, so i made a new library and imported 4 photos, editted one, and it's still doing the same thing. Any thoughts?
I did a quickie search, but I'm terribad at searching in these forums. Sorry if it's somewhere obvious to you pro searchers

hey thanks so much! ok, ill jsut deal with editing one photo at a time and then restarting aperture each time.. lol its ANNOYING, but it WORKS.. so ill deal with it!
thanks again!!!
oops, i tried to change it to you solved my issue instead of helped, and i think i marked that i solved my own problem.. ugh i hate these forums! lol

    If your needs are limited to those tasks then both Preview and iPhoto will fit the bill They are already on your Mac. There is a free download from Google called Picasa available here:
    http://picasa.google.com/
      It works much the in same manner as iPhoto. For some really heavy duty work there is GIMP available from SourceForge:
    http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/  Also a free download.

  • TS4256 I have got a Canon 5 Mark III, but aperture generates previews instead of of using the embedded previews. What to do?

    I have got a Canon 5 Mark III, but aperture generates previews instead of using the embedded previews of my Camera. Who has got an idea? Thanks

    The built-in previews are ONLY used initially for speed.
    If you have this set, then turn on quick preview and you'll be able view your images when the embedded previews.  But Aperture will not use these previews *forever* - it's only to be faster during import.
    You may be misunderstanding what this feature is for and how it's meant to be used.  It's to make import and initial photo editing (picking your best shots) much faster - along the lines of the speed of Photo Mechanic, which it is.
    It is not intended to permanently use the camera generated JPEG preview a the preview.  That woudn't really make sense as it doesn't represent how it looks.

  • Aperture library won't open after using new iphoto

    My Aperture library won't open after accidently using iphoto to view it. It says Aperture is outdated but I run 3.4.5 version which is the last.
    Now I CAN'T DO MY WORK thanks to this lunacy.
    Anyone any suggestions how to fix this ****?

    Also one more thing
    On the MacBook Air - Where aperture is working fine and loading the library, i tried to change the name of the library and then when I tried to open it it shouted with the error ""Error Opening Library--The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again""
    But when I changed the name back it was working fine again on the MacBook AIr
    Should i be worried that when i look at the get info on my library it says it's an aperture library 3.5.1 ?

  • Wont close properly after using google & wont open again without using taskmanager

    after the last firefox update if I use google a few times firefox doesnt close properly & wont restart unless I either reboot the machine or go into taskmanager & close it down there. It then re-opens correctly but with the last google pages displayed (even if they've been closed down before I attempted to close firefox)
    I'm not the only person with this problem I know of at least one other.

    I have the same problem. If I open a google site, the browser no longer responds and the process must be stopped in task manager.
    This problem occurs on all google websites. For example mail.google.com, google.com and reader.google.ch.
    OS: Windows 7 // Firefox: Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 and 8 // Language: German

  • Ps CC: Quick Mask is unresponsive after using Refine Edge?

    Anyone know why Quick Mask is unresponsive after I've used "Refine Edge"
    It works fine if I just make a simple selection first.

    It's not my intention (intent?) to beat up on the "Refine Edge".  I figured when I couldn't get the same pristine results as all the demos that I was doing something wrong, and kept watching more people doing this 'cause I figured I was doing something dumb...
    Mostly, I've been trying this on different images over the last couple weeks just to see if I could figure out how to get it to work.
    From the responses in here I suspect I'm doing it correctly, but the images I'm trying it on just don't lend themselves to perfect edges without some additional work.....  The Quick Select and a bit of edge cleanup is still faster than the "good old days", so its definitely a step forward. 
    As far as the swans, yes, no matter what I did, I was getting a lot of extraneous selections and wonky edges and stuff.  One of these days I'll try pulling an eagle or a great egret out of a clear sky and see how that goes.  I suspect it'll work a lot better... 
    I only fiddled with the rodeo image 'cause I figured it was "like" hair.  But my background is pretty busy.  With a little additional work I DID get a very, very good selection, and was able to soften the background, and do a gradient so the ground under the horse is sharp, gradually blurring as it moves to the grandstands... 
    Thanks for all the replies...

It usually took about 1-3 seconds to load, but since having installed the plugins it takes 40-50 seconds which is really annoying, All the plugins including the Nik ones work fine. I ahve the Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 and Nik Color Efex 4. In the splash screen it takes a good 10-15 seconds for it to pass both "starting up plugins....Nik Silver Efex Pro/Color Efex Pro". I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I have 8GB RAM, AMD FX-6300 SIX CORE PROCESSOR, Nvidia GTX 750 Ti graphics card. Please help me....
    Thanks,

    Jyotinder:  Doc!  It hurts when I do this...
    Doc:  Well, then, don't DO that!
    In all seriousness, have you tried removing the plug-ins, ensuring your startup performance is restored, then adding them back one by one to see which it is that causes the problems?
    While I don't know those plug-ins in particular, I don't think there's any reason they should slow Photoshop's startup down that much.  Are they listed as Photoshop CC 2014-compatible?

  • Aperture 3 keeps crashing or freezing in the middle of editing a photo. I am trying to start editing a shoot I did but I can't even finish one picture without it crashing. Please help!!!

    I'm trying to finish a start editing a photo shoot I did yesterday and I've been editing with Aperture for a several months without a problem until a couple of weeks ago. I think there was an update somewhere in there and not I cannot even finish one picture, as it freezes or crashes on me every single time. It does not save anything that I have already edited and I have to start over from scratch only to have it crash on me again. I have updated my ram which helped with the slowness I was experiencing back in January. I need help fast!
    Thank you!

    Starting oiff by giving your hardware and software setup would be a big help. Also any steps you've already taken to try and fix the problem.
    If you haven't done so already have a look at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
    Without move info it's hard to get more specific than that.

  • Ipad locked up after using "find my ipad alert"

    i used my iphone to find my ipad and sent an alert.  now my ipad is completely locked up.  it has a window "Find My iPad Alert" with a buttom below to click ok.  When I click.. it blinks but does not go away.
    I cannot hold down and power off.. or get the screen unlocked otherwise.  I am guessing I am stuck indefinitely... or until my battery loses all power.  Help!

    found the answer after I posted my question.  pressed power/home and got it to reset.

  • I'm locked out after using my CORRECT passcode!!

    I turn my passcode settings from off to on on occasion (when snoopy relatives come to visit).  Today I went into Settings and turned the passcode to ON.  As usual, it asked me to enter my passcode to make this change and then to reconfirm my passcode.  I did this and was able to turn it ON and continue working on the iPad.  I came back to use the iPad later and it asked me to enter my passcode as expected but now it says it doesn't recognize my passcode now and keeps disabling the iPad.  I have never changed my passcode for the iPad (yes, I have carefully attempted over 20 tries so I know I am not mistyping the passcode with my fat sausage fingers).  I really don't want to restore my iPad if I can avoid it as it makes me nervous that things will be lost (photos, video, big project I was working on this morning before getting locked out).  Help!

    I if I remember correctly, if you turn it off, turn it back on, and hold the home button until the "This device is locked" screen (or something among those lines), then it puts your iPad into recovery mode. Although I'm not sure what happens then.
    Sorry, but you might have to lose some content. It might be worthwhile to set your iPad to sync over WIFI.

  • Locked iPad after using accesibitkly

    When using the Accessibility option to read out text to speech and the iPad locks itself it does not accept the password set. You have to restore it in iTunes. I have had to do this several times now. It gets worse; now it can't restore the iPad so I am stuck. Not accepting password and not restoring. Error message stats to the effect that the iPad is having network problem downloading/installing the software. Can anyone help? How do you stop this

    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • My iPod locks up after using it in the car with the iTrip

    I recently upgraded my iTunes software and iPod software to the most recent versions available. Since then, my iPod will work in the car with the iTrip for only a short amount of time and then it starts scrolling through the playlist by itself without playing anything and then gets stuck in the on mode. I have reset the iPod as directed by the Apple website and it worked fine from my computer and in my Bose sound dock. Once I put it back in the car on the iTrip the same thing happened. I am wondering if since my software upgrades the iTrip is not longer compatible with my iPod. Please help! Thanks!

  • So then - do most people use other programs to edit thier photos?

    After hours of reading on this discussion forum - which is incredibly informative and useful - and others, it seem that a lot of people use Aperture for its management abilities (I know, DAM) and not as much for its editing abilities. (Perhaps its intended function?) Is this accurate? Is it intended to be a compliment to <insert you favoite photo editor title here> rather than a replacement?
    It seems to be far too powerful an editing tool to simply use to structure my files - but send them out to an editing program when I want to edit.
    Again, I am a newbie and am probably missing something, but as an example using the sharpen edge tool I cannot seem to apply much sharpening at all even maxing the sliders. In PS (I am not trying to cause I debate, it just happens to be the program I have been using to this point) you can easily sharpen, over sharpen and completely distort the image beyond useful with tiny adjustments in the parameters. I have about a half a dozen presets as baselines in unsharp mask (normal, reduce haze, portraits etc) that I start with and change slightly per photo. I wanted to create the same structure in Aperture, but it does not seem to have this ability - which I find strange because just about everything else I do in Aperture seems to have abilites way beyond my own and I find I am having difficulties with simple things, such as adjusting light levels.
    Any thoughts?
    As always, many thanks.

    As has been noted by those wiser and better than I, "take the picture right, then you don't have to muck with it in the darkroom." There is, of course, a lot of truth in this but the digital image is another beast compared to film. I suspect that I handle about 90%+ of my images directly in Aperture. I have a number of plug ins (SilverFX, Vevezia, Photomatix HDR, and Noise Ninja) and I link to an external editor. Most of what needs correcting, improving, focusing, etc., can be done within Aperture particularly now that the plug ins are 64 bit. Still, I have a full copy of Photoshop (actually CS5) as there are things that can be done in PS that I don't know how to do any where else. (There are also hundreds of things that PS can do that I haven't learned!)
    So the answer to your question: depends on how deep you like to get into the image. I liked the dark room in the old days (dating myself here) so I have found the amazing power of a program like PS to be irresistible. YMMV.

    A few years back I was able to get Adobe to switch me to the Mac version of CS2 by paying the upgrade fee difference. Won't hurt to ask. There was a bit of song and dance routine (faxes and stuff to prove I had the Win version) but it worked out. Worth a try but recommend you learn Aperture and its available plug ins first.
