Blacks are Clipping in Aperture when zoomed in?

My monitor (iMac 20", last Matte generation) is calibrated using the Huey, and it works great except for this one problem, in which Raw files are displayed with some sort of black clipping when viewed at 100% or full screen size. However, the correct blacks can be seen in the Loupe, here is an example:
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/snwyatt/ApertureProblem1.jpg
I have been plagued by this in every version of Aperture since 1.5.x to the newest, 2.0.1. The problem has been narrowed down to the Huey profile, and how it is read by Aperture, because every other profile (default iMac, manually calibrated iMac, etc) has proper consistency between the all levels of zoom and the loupe.
It doesn't look too bad in these images, but it also leads to harsh gradients and extra noise, which are a hassle to deal with. The images show the proper blacks when exported as a Tiff or other jpeg. And it is not the Raw file format (.cr2), it does the same thing with every Raw format I've thrown at it.
Any suggestions? The colours are spot on with the Huey and I love Aperture, but this issue has been driving me nuts.

2.2 gamma is fine for monitor calibration with Aperture (it's even what Apple/Aperture recommends).
Your problem may be tied into the type of monitor profile you are creating. I had an issue in 2006 with Aperture v1.1.x. It turned out that Aperture was fine with Matrix monitor profiles but it did not like LUT monitor profiles.
When I created a LUT monitor profile then I got shadows blocking up and posterizing in Aperture.
I have not checked to see if this problem was corrected in 10.5 or in Aperture 2.0, possibly not because it sounds like what you are describing.
Here's the thread from last spring:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=469271&tstart=0
As I recall from the time too (in other threads on the forum) there where issues with the Huey that Shea is describing. It only created LUT type profiles and did not have options in its software (Spring, '06) for matrix type profiles.
For example, a MacBeth/X-Rite Eye-one Photo with Eye-one Match 3.6.x gives you the option to output either Matrix display profiles (the default) or LUT display profiles.

  • Black page background flashes grey when zooming on images

    When I'm previewing my book on iPad I see that when I zoom in on an image (single image gallery widget) the page background which is black flashes grey momentarily. This happens on ipad but not when I preview on the mac.
    Seems like the page wants to revert to the default white background everytime I click an image widget. Any way to set a book wide black background color? I currently create the page background colour by placing a black rectangle object in the background.
    Thanks anyone for any tips!

    It seems there's a default setting when zooming on images that fades the background from white to black (I guess Apple is presuming all pages are white)? Anyone who have pages with colour background notice this?

  • Why are objects becoming distorted when zoomed in?

    Lets say for example that I create a target shape at a relatively large size. I will then shrink it down to a more appropriate size and proceed to zoom in on the object. When I zoom in, the target becomes completely distorted. This is a problem that I came across recently as I have just upgraded from cs4 to cs5.1. Since Illustrator is vector based, objects should be crisp and look the same whether they are scaled to the size of the full artboard or down to just 1% of it, correct?
    I have posted a screen shot of the issue that I am running into below. The larger shape on the left is normal, and the shape on the right is that same shape just scaled down. Note: this shape does not have strokes, it is a solid fill. Thanks for any help in advance!

    This is what I had originally thought was the issue, so I created a new doument making sure to uncheck the box for the pixel grid. I then dragged the above shape into the new document and the problem persisted. However, when I recreated a similar shape in the new document, there was no distortion (as expected). It seems that for some reason an object created in a document with the pixel grid option turned on keeps those settings when carried into the new document.
    Is there a way around this or am I going to have to recreate everything in the new document?
    Thanks for tee response, btw!

  • Clips moving visually when zoomed in with mouse movement

    Hello,
    I am experiencing a glitch with the visual placement of the clips in Final Cut Pro X.
    When I zoom in to the maximum level, the audio and video clips move visually. I can therefore not determine their exact alignment. When I move the mouse over the clips (a physical mouse by Logitech) without touching any other controls, the clips stutter around, and shift their apparent location.
    I am using a brand new, maxed-out iMac and have restarted the program, and computer several times. This happens in all of my projects and not just the project in which I first noticed the problem.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    Luis, it is a 2013 27" iMac with a 3.4 GHz i7, 32 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 ram, an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 680MX 2048 MB, and has the 768 GB SSD drive.
    Thanks for your replies guys!
    I am glad the problem was solved. My guess is that the update included a new driver for the graphics card that may have solved some bugs.

    The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with.  "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts.  In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do.  Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
    All pedantic, but please stick with me here  .
    You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
    That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
    The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
    You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
    From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
    Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
    The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
    Every Image has an Original.
    The Image is not the Original.  The Image is what you see in Aperture.
    The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
    You can make changes to an Image.
    Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
    Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database.  Let's call this file the Changes File.
    Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
    Image = Original + Changes File.
    The Image is not a file.
    Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs.  It exists only inside of Aperture.
    In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
    You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
    You may ask, "Why all the complexity?  Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?"  The answer is simple:  Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images.  Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file.  The gain in storage efficiency is huge.  The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
    Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

    No, there is not.  Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs.  You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
    Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images.  These files are called Previews.  You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab.  These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser.  These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • Acrobat X plugin buttons are clipped

    Hi,
    We are in the process of adjusting our old Acrobat plugins (C++, Acrobat 8.0/9.0 SDK) to be compatible with Acrobat X. Our plugin consist of several buttons, which (in Acrobat X) now appear in an area in the 'Tools' panel.
    I've attched to this discussion 3 screenshots to see the issue.
    We have seen variable results in Windows Acrobat X with the appearance of the plugin's toolbuttons.
    When runnnig Acrobat X in standalone mode (normal desktop application), initially the buttons are clipped by the region (area) they reside in the 'Tools' panel (see image #1). Occasionally with 10.0, we were able to see them fully drawn, but it was random. With 10.1, they're always clipped. Expanding the upper areas of upper plugins (For example: 'Sign & Certify') causes our plugin area to expand and the buttons are no longer clipped. So this is a workaround (see Image #2 - After opening 'Sign & Certify' and then re-opening 'Select & Zoom').
    But... Our plugin is relevant only when Acrobat X is hosted in a browser (it integrated with a web application).
    When running Acrobat X "in browser" (Acrobat plugin for IE or Safari) and expanding the 'Tools' panel the only visible plugin is ours, so the buttons are always clipped (Image #3).
    We tried making each toolbutton 32x32 (the icons in the images are 32x32), and that helped to display more of the buttons, but the same area was provided, effectively cutting our toolbuttons in half. There doesn't appear to be anything in the AVTool interface to control this strange clipping behavior.
    Is there a workarounf for this issue?
    Did anyone encounter this problem?
    Where should I start? (please suggest...)
    Thanks.

  • Any solution to pixelated images when zooming?

    Wondering if there is a solution to prevent pdf images on transparent background from pixelating when zoomed in.
    This is a screen capture. There are two knife images. The large white knife is a pdf on a transparent background saved at 108 ppi in photoshop, it is part of a object state/slide show (saved as vector obviously since type is sharp) that fades in. Doesn't seem to matter what size/dimensions I use, it still gets blurry when you pinch and zoom.
    See here:
    The smaller black knife image at top left is also a pdf on transparent background, saved at 108 ppi in photoshop. It is not an object state,etc.
    The knife images look fine at full screen on the iPad, but once you pinch and zoom, both images loose focus and become blurry.
    Any solution to this? The images need to be pdf (or png - which I understand will not scale at all), because they are on transparent backgrounds.
    Thanks!
